We have 3 adorable Canadian Manx kittens (8 weeks old on April 29) ready for loving homes, preferably with access to a garden where they can play outside.
One rumpy gray female, one stumpy gray female (500chf each) and one caramel colored male with a full tail (200chf).

Brace yourselves... cuteness factor 10!!!

Just for fun, a little video of Mummy Manx when she was a baby...

really nice creatures...I'm a dog person myself but love all animals...would love to get one but what turns me off in regards to cats is the fur mess...hair is everywhere...dogs I left behind were terriers which did not loose hair and so not much of a mess..

very very sweet...don't remember seeing cats with no tails

please before adopting any manx have them fully checked by your vet and wait until they are at least 4 months old. we adopted a manx kitten a few months ago, and unfortunately for us this sweet kitten had a genetic disease that is specific to the manx breed- manx syndrome. she got very sick very quickly and it was heartbreaking to myself and my family, especially my son because we had to finally euthanize her due to repeated infections among other major problems. we tried to keep her as best we could, but it wasn't cheap to constantly medicate her and it wasn't helping either. it is really quite sad to euthanize a 5 month old kitten, really it was heartbreaking and my son still gets sad thinking about what we and our kitten went thru- he was very attached to her...

there are things you can do if you want a manx kitten and ways that a breeder can take care to ensure that adopting families can have the healthiest kittens they can. one is to wait until at least 4 months for the kitten to be adopted. this syndrome usually doesn't even show up until around 3-4 months or even later and then it begins quite gradually. if a breeder keeps the kittens for a time, they (esp. being familiar with symptoms vs breed traits )can make sure that the kittens are healthy.

i hate to take over the thread but i wanted to share our experience and make sure that anyone who would adopt these wonderful cats get a bit informed- and avoid any problems and sad stories in the future

oh, and here's a link to some manx info- including a bit about the disease.

Amarya, thank you, that is very good advice, and a very discreet post.

Unfortunately the kitten Amarya adopted came from us. We did not know she had any health issues when she left us and felt terrible when Millie developed problems. We did not plan to be breeders that time and so had not researched manx syndrome. We did take all the kittens to the vet for a check up before adopting them out, and there were all declared healthy, but as Amarya wrote, this syndrome is often not apparent until 4 months of age, and Millie left us at 10wks.

These kittens go to the vet tomorrow, (mommy is getting spayed) and because they all have tails (Millie had no tail) albeit, tiny ones, we don't expect any problems.... we have been watching them very carefully. That being said, we may keep them with us a little longer, just to be safe.

Thanks Amarya for your sensitive and informative post, and again, our sympathies for the heartache of poor Millie.

of course. really, it was a gift to have little millie for a short amount of time.
she was a sweet kitten. and it was due to no fault of Tonysam, really i've had a manx before and never heard of the condition so i never thought to check on this as a possibility.

in the end, it is one of those unlucky things that happen in nature- due to no fault of the cats or their owners, but just to genetics.

thanks so much for your kind words again Tonysam, you were very understanding and helpful throughout the whole thing and we appreciate it.
although it was sad- i think overall we look at our time with millie as being lucky to have her with us.

Thanks, all kittens are reserved now
