About Bashful

Bashful may trick you at first glance—he looks like a kitten but springs around the house like a rabbit and plays fetch with the determination of a dog. As a unique Manx cat born without a tail (a "rumpy"), Bashful lives up to his reputation for quirkiness. Watching him bound after toys, then parade his catch with a playful growl, is guaranteed to bring a smile. He’s a true character: playful, affectionate, quite talkative, and at his happiest surrounded by people. You’ll hear all about his adventures (and his empty food bowl) if you spend time with him. Bashful does have some care requirements tied to Manx syndrome. He likes pee pads and will sometimes choose a litterbox, but he occasionally has slight urine leakage, especially while sleeping or really relaxing. His foster mom keeps him clean with daily pet wipes and quick rinses—he tolerates this routine thanks to his small size, even if it’s not his favorite thing. He’s worth the extra effort: his sweet, social nature makes him a wonderful companion for someone comfortable managing his needs. Bashful’s home will need to understand his quirks, but in return, they’ll discover plenty of cat charm and a dash of rabbit energy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
