Karello Manx Cattery

This one really tugs at my heart. 💔

My one year old, tailed, neutered, registered Manx boy Rupert who I intended to keep as a pet, has developed a urinary tract issue.

I'm already caring for 2 males with this issue, and on special prescription only urinary food. Anyone who's ever had a cat like this knows how draining it can be, financially and emotionally.

The one male, Gideon, is an FIP survivor from 5 yrs ago with urinary issues, and on 4 different types of seizure medications. Gideon had multiple vet visits in the past 2 weeks, I'm tapped. I don't need this now with Rupert, but, when it rains, it pours!

UPDATE: Rupert saw the vet, Rupert's not blocked 🎉, he's doing great on the new stress diet 🎉

He's been diagnosed with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. He will need to be on prescription diet for Urinary and have a low stress environment. If I can find him the right home that might be what's best for him at this point. I'm really tirn what's best, he gets on my lap as soon as my butt hits the recliner, and sleeps on my feet when I sit at the table. He's bonded with me, my hearts breaking. He'll remain fir now with changes to see how he does.

This is Max, he's an example of what a black smoke, registered Manx cat looks like.

Update: 09/06/2026 Wow, hard to believe no one's contacted me about being interested in breeding Manx cats. Just look how cute they turn out to be! This is Surprise, and he was, a surprise! He turned a year old June 30th, 2026

A chip off the old block, reminds me of International Winner, 2 Xs Breed Winner, 18th Best Cat in Region 4, Grand Champion, MinusDeTails Northern Exposure, aka "PJ", his grandfather! His mother is Karello's Ducky and his sire is Karello's Who's Your Daddy? Of course!!!! Totally awesome, an upcoming sire in our breeding program. 🎉

I have no kittens available at present. It takes 5 1/2 to 6 month time frame, from the time the female is bred, until the kitten goes home.

Are you SERIOUSLY interested in breeding CFA/TICA registered Manx cats? There are very few reputable, registered Manx breeders left. New people are needed to join in. If you think this might be you, send your email to [email protected].

This beautiful little girl was born in our May 1st, 2026 litter. She's a tortoiseshell, rumpy with long hair. To learn more about my available Manx kittens, go to my website www.manxcatbreeder.com

Regarding Upcoming Litters

Red (orange) fur in cats is linked to a gene carried on the X chromosome. Male cats have only one X chromosome, so if they inherit the red gene, they will usually be entirely red, but can also be red and white.

Female cats have two X chromosomes, meaning they can carry both red (orange) and black genes at the same time. This combination creates mixed coat patterns like tortoiseshell or calico, where patches of red and black appear together (brindled or patched). Because of this genetic difference, most red cats are male, while 99.5% tortoiseshell and calico cats are female.

Simply explained, females (the color of the female) determines the color of the male kittens. Both parents (colors) determine the color of female kittens.

* I've bred a black, short hair, female (Angusina), to a cream/silver tabby, short hair, male (Roo) AND a silver patched tabby, short hair, female (Leah) to a black, short hair, male (Monkey). All are either CFA or TICA registered.
*All are posted to my website www.manxcatbreeder.com on my Sires and Dams page.
