About Zipper
Zipper, just over nine months old, is a gray-and-white shorthaired Manx with no tail at all. He’s small, and when he hops across the room you can’t help but watch—the way he moves is part bunny, part cat, and truly unforgettable. At first, Zipper tends to hang back and observe, but curiosity quickly wins him over. Once he feels comfortable, he seeks out attention—loves to be held, brushed, and cuddled. He’s playful and gentle, clever enough to find little adventures around the house, and has a squeaky voice that’s hard not to smile at. Zipper purrs the moment things feel right. He also gets along well with both cats and dogs. Because Zipper is a little bladder incontinent, he sometimes makes a mess but still uses the litter box. He needs someone who’s willing to put in the time to manage a quirky cat’s unique care, including a steady routine and patience. Financial flexibility and a genuine commitment are important—he needs people who see who he is beyond his quirks. If you stick with him, you get a joyful, loving companion. He’s especially close to his brother Velcro and would do best with a family looking for a pair. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
