Cooper is a Manx breed cat with a short tail. Cooper is a dominant male cat who would thrive in a home as the only cat. He may get along well with a dog if introduced properly.

Dewey was rescued by me from a farm where many generations came before her, and when I moved, I took her, her mom, and all of her siblings with me. She is five years old. She began experiencing signs of Manx syndrome about a year ago. She needs typical Manx care. She is overweight and needs exercise, though she is very playful and likes to play and hunt. Her current symptoms include itchy skin and trouble with grooming. She has experience outdoors due to living in a rural area. She has a fantastic personality, and it was difficult to get to a point where I felt she needed a more specialized home. She was very feisty as a young cat, but has mellowed out in middle age. For example, as a young cat, it was difficult to get her to the vet. Now, I think she understands she needs the help and will only require a little bit of convincing. But I do believe some trust from her is required. It may depend on time to bond, but she generally likes all humans (kids too) and other pets.
