Tailless Cat Rescue
Our Featured Pet...
Kiera is a tiny little stumpy bobtail Manx who weighs about 5 1/2 pounds. She was born about February 1, 2007. She was rescued from a shelter where conditions were so horrible that the state shut it down. She arrived terrified and thin, but quickly came around and is a real lover. She adores being petted and will pace back and forth with a huge purr. She is very good with other cats. She does have gingivitis, the vet has checked her and thinks she can be kept comfortable with prednisone every other day, and it should resolve over time with no surgery or cleanings needed. It does make her prone to drool when she purrs, or maybe that's just because she's so happy to be petted.
She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Her adoption fee is $140.

Who We Are
Dedicated to finding exceptional homes for exceptional cats
Specializing in Manx, but we'll accept Japanese or American Bobtails and Pixie-bobs
In 1995 my neighbor's Manx cat had kittens. There was a tiny runt in the litter that wasn't expected to survive. I was there when the kittens were born, and I volunteered to provide a home for the runt if she made it. That was Misty, and the beginning of my love for the Manx breed. After several years of rescuing Manx and other tailless cats through all breed rescues, in 2006 I decided to start my own rescue and TCR was born.
TCR is run entirely out of foster homes. So the number of cats we can take at a time is limited to the space we have. We also have to respect NC law which limits the number of animals that can be fostered at a time. And we will only have as many cats as we can afford to care for at one time.
TCR is all about the cats. The rescue is based on the highest standards of honesty, ethics, and care for the cats in our program. Our motto is "Dedicated to finding exceptional homes for exceptional cats". And Manx and other tailless breeds really have exceptional personalities and deserve the best homes possible.
Most of the cats come from animal shelters or pounds where they have run out of time and are going to be euthanized. We generally don't take owner surrendered cats. We believe that once you make a commitment to a cat, it should be for a lifetime. We will assist owners in how to find homes for their cats if they can no longer keep them, and will provide access to expert advice on solving behavioral or health problems so that it is more likely they can stay in their homes.
Adopting a friend
Adoption fees are approximately equal to the basic vet costs required to get that cat ready for adoption, and will be listed on the individual page for each pet. We do have an adoption contract, and a vet reference and home check are required. The contract can be viewed on our website at www.taillesscatrescue.com
