My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cute tabby boy for adoption .

 Meet Roscoe – The Grumpy-Faced Sweetheart with a Heart of Gold 

Located in Sanford, NC
Roscoe's rescue is closing down and he needs a new home soon, or a new rescue.


Born about January of 2023, Roscoe is a charming young man with an unforgettable “grumpy old man” face and a big personality to match. He is a longy, but his tail isn’t quite normal length.  Though he may be slow to trust, beneath that skeptical stare is a cat full of quiet affection, curious habits, and the potential for a deep bond.

Roscoe is a fiend for treats, a fan of sunbeams , and a lover of tunnels and quiet spots where he can nap in peace. He thrives in calm environments and would enjoy the company of respectful dog and kitty companions. Older children who understand boundaries and a peaceful pace are a must.


Roscoe is looking for a patient, understanding family that will give him the time and space he needs to settle in and feel safe. After fending for himself in the outdoors and nearly dying from a terrible respiratory infection and anemia, he is still adapting to the safety and comforts of indoor life.


He may never be a lap cat—and that’s okay. What he offers instead is something just as special: trust earned, affection on his terms, and the joy of seeing a shy cat slowly open up.


If you’re someone who appreciates the quieter victories of pet companionship, Roscoe might just be the perfect match.

More about this rescue

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.
