Description:
Firecracker was among a group of cats we rescued from a high kill shelter in Georgia. Did you know that around 70% of cats in shelters are euthanized? Does that give you a pit in your stomach like it does mine? Thank goodness for people like you who turn to rescues when they are considering adding a pet to their homes!!!

8/1 Volunteer Update:
Firecracker reminds me of Morris the Cat... he is very laid back and likes to stretch out on his belly similiar to how a dog would... it's TOO cute. My heart breaks when visiting Firecracker at Petsmart because he just hates being in his cage and cries and cries to be let out. This big guy is in search of his forever home and will shower you with love and kisses!!


According to the Cat Fancier's Association, 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.
