Manx rescue cats and kittens for adoption and rehoming in the UK

As of 8 November 2026, no Manx cats are listed for adoption in the UK on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

12 to 14 years, according to the GCCF. Source: GCCF: Manx.

Low maintenance; groom during the moult and help older cats keep the coat free of mats, according to the GCCF. Coat: double coat. Source: GCCF: Manx.

The GCCF names these for the breed: Manx syndrome; megacolon; skin and eye problems. The GCCF says the taillessness gene can shorten the spine too much, damaging the spinal cord and nerves and causing a form of spina bifida with bowel, bladder and digestive problems. The GCCF says some tailless cats such as the Manx may develop megacolon, a recurring constipation that can be life threatening if not monitored. The GCCF says the breed is also predisposed to rump fold intertrigo and corneal dystrophy, and that some partial tails are prone to a painful arthritis. A rescue cat's parents may not have been health tested, so ask the rescue what vet checks the cat has had. Source: GCCF: Manx.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £100 for a cat over six months and £130 for a kitten, Cats Protection says you can expect to pay £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, varying between its branches, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Manx on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Battersea charges £100 for a cat over six months and £130 for a kitten. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "manx kittens for sale", the Manx cats here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. At the large cat charities, fees for one cat are under £200: Battersea charges £100 for a cat over six months and £130 for a kitten, and Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue.

Not right now: no Manx cats are listed in the UK today, so there are no kittens either. Kittens do get listed, and rescues can tell you much more about an adult's character, so check back.
