Mela - Manx Cat for Adoption

Mela is an adorable 4-month-old, 3-lb Manx kitten. Though initially skittish, she warms up with patience-and treats-and enjoys petting and interactive play.

As a Manx, Mela is nearly tailless, with just the cutest little stub at the end of her rump. But while she can't chase her tail, she loves to chase her cat toys and even plays fetch. Mela's perfect day includes playing with her feline foster siblings and cat toys, then relaxing in her cat tree. She is calm and content, with lively bursts of playfulness. Mela especially enjoys wand toys, the "Cat Dancer," and gentle pets along her back.

Chatty but not loud, Mela communicates through chirps, trills, and soft purrs. Give her time to warm up, and she will reward your patience by becoming a sweet, playful companion.

Mela is currently being fostered in Staten Island, NY and her adoption fee is $225.

Kittens are only adopted in pairs or to homes with other friendly, social pets. They are very social by nature and need to be with other pets for their socialization.

Mela's adoption fee is $225; to adopt a pair of kittens, the combined adoption fee is $375.

All of our cats come spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, up to date on flea and tick preventative, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. All adults are combo tested; for some litters of kittens who have not been exposed to other cats, only one kitten in the litter may be tested. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services and helps us continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the pet you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
