Online Cat Adoption Application

Zack was rescued by one of the Adoption Center's neighbors. He was wandering around with his sister and doing the stray cat thing. The neighbors noticed that the two of them were very people friendly and thought he would make an outstanding pet. So the neighbors brought him to Judy to get fixed and to make sure he is healthy. Since he's been here, he's won all of our hearts. He has a sweet disposition and that short stubby manx tail is really quite cute. He's waiting for the right home. Come in to meet him and he'll win you over too!

According to the Cat Fancier's Association, www.cfa.org, the Manx cat is believed to have originated hundreds of years ago on the Isle of Man, off the coast of England. Since many trade ships docked on the Isle, and all had ship cats, it is hard to tell just what the parent cat really was. Obviously, both longhair and shorthair were represented in the original mutation. Many longhairs were seen on the Isle along with the shorthairs.

Records have been found on the Isle of Man that describe the cat as a mutation of the island’s domestic cats. It is believed that the island cats were involved, however, did some of the island cats come off the ships? We will never really know.
The Manx is a very playful cat as a rule. They can jump higher than anyone could imagine, and it is not unusual to find them perching on the highest point in any room. They have extremely powerful hind quarters. It has been stated by one Manx owner that “Manx are the feline sport cars of the car world with their acceleration and quick turns.” Manx exhibit many dog-like characteristics such as retrieving and burying their toys.
