Meet Rafiki
Meet Fiki,

This adorable ball of Fluff in a diaper is 50% cat, 35% rabbit 15% baboon and a whole lot of cute. Rafiki is a Manx cat and as such has no tail. While some Manx do have a short variation of tail, Fiki has none. This cute & a little bit funny characteristic of his just adds to his overall persona.

Like other Manx cats he has the prominent big eyes and larger hind quarters (hence his ability to hop like a bunny). He is full of energy and personality. He loves ....... no he's obsessed with playing with the feather stick toys and chasing anything you throw. When he's not barreling through the house he is a total lap kitty whose purrs will melt your heart.

Fiki is seeking a devoted family who is willing to help him get his energy out but also care for his special needs. Being a Manx cat can sometimes come with complications and while a kitten in a diaper is adorable it also comes with a big responsibility. Rafiki has what is called Manx syndrome and he is incontinent (can not use bathroom on his own). His new family will need to be already versed in this type of care or within close enough distance to come and learn how to express him. Currently it is a 3-4 times a day requirement but when he is grown should only be required 2-3 times a day. I know it's a big job, but I also know the right family is out there and willing and I promise you he is 100% worth it.

If this adorable baboon butt kitten has captured your heart and you want to know more about him and his care please fill out a no obligation application. Dallas Metro only. training for his needs would be in Melissa TX.
