Cymric kittens & cats in Austin, Texas

Curious, Friendly, Playful With Manx for the Memories, you're actually getting part kitty, part bunny! This adorable, friendly guy hops around like a bunny and even has a cute little bunny tail to match! Manx is super sweet and loves people. He has become his foster's shadow, since he loves to follow her around and prefers not to be alone. Manx doesn't let his bunny-hop gait stop him from playing and running around! He loves playing with catnip toys and his fishing pole and often gets the zoomies. He will make little noises when he's playing or wants attention as his way of telling you how excited or happy he is! Manx is actually a Manx cat, a tail-free orange tabby boy who is extra cute and fuzzy. Along with being a Manx he was born with Manx Syndrome, which means his spine and spinal nerves didn't develop normally; he needs his human to press gently on his bladder twice a day to "express" it and help him go pee. It is super easy once you get the hang of it, and APA! will show you how! Since he's incontinent, Manx requires some extra medical care, which right now includes a regulated diet and manual expression. His foster has him eating Science Diet Gastrointestinal Biome food twice a day and he takes Prazosin twice daily as well. Manx takes his meds no problem and is also super easy to express as long as he's focused on his Churu treat! This routine has been working great for him and his foster! For more information, please contact APA! In foster, Manx lives with another foster kitty and the resident cat and German Shepherd. He loves playing and hanging out with the other foster kitty, but he's gotten the memo that the resident cat isn't super friendly. Manx also likes the dog but hasn't tried to play or cuddle with him. The perfect forever home for Manx is one with people who can continue his routine, which is working great for him (and it's so easy), as well as give him lots of love and attention! He would happily live with other cats and most dogs, but he's really all about his people and just wants to be wherever you are. If you want to meet this little bunny-cat, ask to set up a meet and greet! Caring for an incontinent cat is easier than you may think. Want proof?

Playful, Cuddly, Sweet Watch out, reality baking shows: Usagi is a Master Kneader! Though she prefers to knead while cuddling next to you on a soft blanket. We prefer that, too, and have crowned her Champion! It's a win-win. Usagi is super affectionate and adores everything and everyone! She has a calm and snuggly nature and loves to be held while getting neck scritches. She is soooo sweet, and has been good with adults and the kids she has met! Usagi was friends with the other cats and the big dog in her previous foster home, and would organize them into games of hide-and-seek. Similarly, while in the shelter, Usagi groomed, played, and cuddled with her feline roommates. She seems to choose her favorite besties that are calm and sweet, similar to her! Usagi loves to play, though not roughly. She is an expert zoomer and runs around with joyful glee. She likes scratchers and the laser toy, as well as rolling around with toys that spin, roll, or crinkle! She climbs cat towers and perches to survey her kingdom. She also hops like a bunny! And since "Usagi" means rabbit or hare in Japanese, this little girl lives up to her name. She is a Manx and doesn't have a tail, which gives her a bunny-like tail. She was born with Manx syndrome, which is where the tail is shortened or absent, and the spine is shortened because it didn't develop properly. Because her back legs didn't develop typically, when she walks, runs, and hops she uses her front legs to steady herself. She is a happy, cheerful, curious, and independent girl with the heart of an explorer! The Manx syndrome gave Usagi fecal and urinary incontinence, which means you have to help her go pee and poop by pressing on her bladder and bowel a few times during the day. It's called "manual expression", and APA! will show you how and make sure you are comfortable with it. Caring for an incontinent cat is easier than you may think! Check out this video: bit.ly/CatExpressionDemo She may move around a little differently than other cats, but as you can tell, she doesn't let it hold her back! Usagi is a gal with deep thoughts and funny observations, and she likes to tell you about them. She's chatty, always ready to start an interesting conversation with you. Usagi is looking for a home with people who can encourage her to be her happiest self while taking great care of her medical needs! Somewhere with a bunch of room to hop around and a place to snuggle up with soft blankets sounds ideal to her. Well, almost ideal, because what would make it ideal is with people to love-love-love, and a nice cat to be her buddy! Usagi is bright, loving, and confident. She may require extra care, but doing so creates an unshakable bond between you and her. She is soooo much more than her special needs! Contact us today to learn more and arrange a meet & greet! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team. For further information or to meet Usagi, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
