About Blarney Manx
More than 30 years of showing and breeding Manx cats in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Who We Are
Blarney Manx is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After more than 30 years, we are no longer showing or breeding Manx, but we keep this site running as a free resource for anyone who loves the breed or is thinking about bringing a Manx home.
Why This Site Is Still Here
Manx cats are a unique breed, and there is a lot of misinformation about them, especially about Manx syndrome. Our goal is to help buyers and owners make good decisions: how to care for a Manx, what Manx syndrome really is, and how to tell a reputable breeder from one to avoid.
A Tribute
This website is a tribute to Richard Cullen, Sherman Ross, and all the other Manx rights activists who have worked to keep the breed as pure and respectable as possible. Richard Cullen and Sherman Ross, President of the American Manx Club, wrote The Manx Syndrome Myth: The Myths & The Truth, which compares the most common myths about Manx syndrome with the actual truth.
