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?

Cuddly, Quirky, Tail-Wiggly Meet Broadway Kid — a pint-sized diva with half a beard and a tiny, wiggly tail that just can’t hide her excitement. She may start off a little shy (every star gets stage fright, right?), but once she’s warmed up, she’ll be purring, chirping, and singing her heart out for your attention. Her meows are her love language — she’ll let you know when she’s ready for pets, playtime, or just wants to keep tabs on her favorite human. This girlie likes to take things slow: earn her trust with patience and Churus (her treat of choice), some nice chin scratches, and she’ll reward you with snuggles, loyalty, and the occasional dramatic flop right onto your lap. She’s not exactly clingy, but don’t be surprised if she quietly climbs aboard for a cuddle while you're relaxing. Wand toys are her jam, and nothing makes her happier than a chill evening with her person and a good play session. Broadway Kid would shine brightest in a calm, quiet home where she can take center stage without too much background noise. If you’re the type who enjoys a little company, a little conversation (she will talk to you), and a lot of low-key love, she might just be your purrfect match. Ready to meet your new leading lady? Reach out to APA! today to schedule a meet and greet! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip.

Cuddle-queen, Affectionate, Charming Meet Zendaya! Zendaya is a gorgeous Manx with a heart as warm as her calico coat. Her green eyes are enchanting! She’s a playful, curious girl who loves spending quality time with her humans. While she enjoys all kinds of toys, her current favorite is a silicone one that keeps her entertained for hours. This cuddle queen has a high affection level—whether it’s napping together, squeezing your arm for snuggles, or simply being in your company, Zendaya thrives on love and connection. She’s a gentle communicator, greeting you with a sweet meow when you enter the room but otherwise remaining calm and quiet. Zendaya has been diagnosed with feline hyperesthesia, a condition in which she is extremely sensitive to being touched in certain areas, making her prone to overstimulation and anxiety. It’s well-managed with two medications. Despite this, she’s remains a happy, people-loving cat who shows no signs of her condition disrupting her joy or love for life. Her only true need is a compassionate and understanding adopter who can revel in the love and affection she shares so generously, be aware and respectful of how and when she wants her pets, and provide her daily meds. She can obviously still be interacted with and touched regularly, but it needs to be on her own terms to avoid stress, anxiety, and overstimulation. Zendaya would do best in a home where she can be the center of attention, playing, cuddling, and sharing peaceful naps with her favorite humans. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion who will brighten your days with her loving nature and calico charm, Zendaya is ready to meet you. 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.
