Mama is a truly unique beauty—a classic Manx cat with no tail and captivating features that make her stand out in every way. As a devoted mother, she’s done a wonderful job protecting and caring for her kittens, and that fierce maternal instinct can make her a little feisty at times. But behind that serious expression is a cat who truly wants connection.
Mama enjoys gentle pets and loves being brushed—it's one of the few things that visibly melts her tough exterior. Her foster believes that once her kittens are adopted and she’s no longer in protective mode, Mama will be able to fully settle into her own well-deserved second chapter.
She’ll do best with a patient, understanding adopter who can give her space and time to blossom. If you’re someone who finds joy in earning a cat’s trust and watching her transform, Mama might just be the companion you’ve been looking for.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This cat's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
