American Bobtail kittens & cats in Austin, Texas

Meet Monkey 🐾 Monkey is an 11-year-old long-haired tortoiseshell American Bobtail. It breaks my heart to re-home her, but my husband and infant daughter are allergic. She is sassy and independent, yet very loving. Monkey is healthy with no medical concerns. She grew up around dogs and knows how to set boundaries, but is most content on her tower of power(cat tree), either watching the world or napping. She’s reliable with her litter box, loves to be outdoors, but great in the car, having traveled with me often. What Monkey really needs is a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and cared for in her golden years. Once she trusts you, she will reward you with affection and companionship. I just want her to find the loving forever home she deserves.

Nova was adopted when she was 8 weeks old in port charlotte Florida. She will be 4 years old in November. I am looking to rehome her because I now have a 7 month old baby, she has not adjusted since. She has started peeing on my couch frequently, hissing at me, hissing at my son. She is very very shy and will hide from strangers, she only comes out with people shes familiar with. She does not like loud people or babies crying. Nova does well with other cats after getting familiar with them. We have had several cats in the house. I hate that I am even thinking about doing this because I do love her so much, but with a new baby, I am so overwhelmed and my mental health is taking a toll.

Devoted, Chill, Silly Meet Ireland: The Sweetest Stump in the State! Ireland is a Manx who—true to her name—looks more like a sturdy little potato than the actual country. Between her round Manx silhouette and chill-but-loving vibe, this sweetheart is sure to be the center of the universe in her new forever home. Ireland loves pets and isn’t shy about asking for them with little taps on your arms. She is a devoted companion who loves to burrow under blankets to transform into a warm, toasted purr-ito. But she’s also quick to engage in play time as she lives for a good dangly toy session. Ireland truly brings the best of both worlds as she can entertain herself playing with toys or just as quickly curl up and take a nap with her new BFF. This Irish Queen is looking for a quiet home where she won’t share the spotlight with other pets – just her favorite human and a good stack of blankets to hide in. So, if you’re looking for the most adorable bundle of sweetness to hang out with, Ireland just might be your new pal! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

Curious, Sweet, Playful With Manx for the Memories, you're actually getting part kitty, part bunny! This adorable, friendly guy hops around like a bunny and even has a cute little bunny tail to match! Manx is super sweet and loves people. He’s not a needy boy, though – if you’re busy, he will happily entertain himself. Manx doesn't let his bunny-hop gait stop him from playing and running around! He loves playing fetch, chasing wand toys, and munching on catnip toys. He will make little noises when he's playing or wants attention as his way of telling you how excited or happy he is! He obsesses over your shoes and purse (he might just wanna know where you've been, or maybe his favorite movie is The Devil Wears Prada). He loves a cozy spot... any nook, box, bucket, or cave he can lay in is his jam, especially if there's a soft blanket on the bottom. He also loves his scratching tower and scratch pads, and he never scratches furniture! Manx is actually a Manx cat, a tail-free orange tabby boy who is extra cute and fuzzy. Along with being a Manx he was born with Manx Syndrome, which means his spine and spinal nerves didn't develop normally; he needs his human to press gently on his bladder three times a day to "express" it and help him go pee. It is super easy once you get the hang of it, and APA! will show you how! His foster just plops him onto a pee pad, puts a Churu treat next to it to distract him, and then she can easily express him in 15-30 seconds. She says this process takes less time than she spends on litterbox duty for her own cats! Since he's incontinent, Manx requires some extra medical care, which right now includes a special diet and some meds, and he’s good about all of that. Manx has lived with other cats and with dogs and is fine with them as long as they’re respectful and friendly to him. He’s really a people cat and loves people the best, including kids. The perfect forever home for Manx is one with people who can continue his routine, which is working great for him (and it's so easy), as well as give him lots of love and attention! He would happily live with other cat-friendly cats and most dogs, but he's really all about his people and just wants to be wherever you are. If you want to meet this little bunny-cat, contact us to set up a meet and greet! Caring for an incontinent cat is easier than you may think. Want proof?
