Today we’re wishing a happy birthday to Achi and Adele! 🥳

Our dear fluffy birthday manuls have turned 6!

This year, Adele became a mamanul for the first time and brought little fluffy babies into the world.

We wish Adele strength, good health, and motherly patience, lots of delicious meat treats, the coziest shady spots to relax, and that she always remains the most beautiful, big-eyed, fluffy cat-model mom around! 😻

And we wish her little ones to grow up healthy, strong, and, of course, very serious and grumpy manuls!

The minuls season continues!

This time the happy news came from Budapest Zoo: the lovely Lucy and Bohus have had a kitten!

The first veterinary checkup was carried out the other day, and it turned out that the little one is male.

The zoo reports that he is healthy, developing well, and delighting the staff with his excellent appetite. With each passing day, he is becoming braver: he is coming out of their house more often and exploring the world around him with growing confidence.

Minuls were born at the Brno Zoo! 🎉

Hooray! Today, Brno Zoo shared some wonderful news: the beautiful Italian Ariunaa and the fluffy Siberian bogatyr Muztau have welcomed manul kittens! 😻

Here is what the zoo wrote on their Facebook page (translated):

“WE HAVE MANUL CUBS! 😻

We’ve known this for some time, but only now can we share the joyful news with you. ❤️

The little ones are hiding together with their mother in a shelter in the exhibit, and what they need most right now is peace and quiet. If you are walking near their enclosure, please be considerate and do not disturb them.

Sad news came from the Center for the reproduction of rare species of animals: Babnik Kesha, Karaganda’s eldest son, has passed away 💔

Innokenty in Center for the reproduction of rare species of animals

Kesha lived a long manul life — he was 11 years old. The cause of death was cancer.

We first met Innokenty in purrson in January of this year. Like a true son of Karaganda, he was secretive, elusive, and not happy to have visitors. Still, he allowed us to admire him for a few minutes: peeking out from behind the snowdrifts with his big, round emerald eyes, as if asking, “Who are you?” It was both beautiful and very funny! ☺️

Incredible fluffy cuteness!

And by the way, today is his birthday — he has turned 8! 🎉

Spotting Dersu is incredibly difficult. Like a true Karaganda’s offspring, he is very secretive, mysterious, and unsociable. And just like his dad, he has stunning emerald-green eyes 💚

Lastochka in Novosibirsk Zoo, January 7, 2024

Together with the Siberian matriarch Lastochka, we congratulate all manulovers, as well as zoologists, veterinarians, zookeepers, scientists, and volunteers — everyone who loves manuls, cares for them, and dedicates themselves to their conservation, study, and raises public awareness about them. Thank you! ❤️

This grumpy yet endlessly charming solitary cat remains a mystery to scientists. But despite its secretive and unsociable nature, the manul has managed to unite thousands of people around the world and give them the chance to feel like part of something great, bright, and deeply meaningful—and that is truly something special. Thank you, great manul! 🧡

Support scientists, zoos, or simply tell your friends about manuls and their uniqueness — today is the perfect day to do it! 🙌🏻

And come join us this evening for our special manul livestream — it’s going to be fun and exciting! 😉

She lived a very long manul life—she was nearly 16 years old 🙏🏻

Yus was born on May 4, 2010, at Ueno Zoo together with her brothers Naim and Doro to the manuls Bayar and Lalaa. She spent her entire life at her home zoo.

In recent years, the staff had noted age-related changes in Yus, though she maintained a good appetite and remained under close observation by specialists. In early March, her condition worsened, and after examination she was diagnosed with an esophageal disease. Despite veterinary care, sadly, Yus could not be saved.
