Too many people believe that they have to go to a breeder to get cats like a Sphynx (or a Persian, Himalayan, etc.). As it says in Moosmom's signature - Don't buy while shelter cats die. I have worked for shelters and rescues for almost ten years, as well as rescued my cats from shelters, and I can tell you that there are often purebred cats in these facilities or at rescues. People who abandon do not care how much they paid for their cat, they just don't want them anymore (and most should never have gotten them in the first place!). So PLEASE before encouraging a breeder, who is bringing more cats into the world to fill their own wallet, go to a shelter or contact a rescue. Most cats in shelters and rescues will die (most are not no kill) - according to a documentary called Cat Crazed, there are over 50 million homeless cats in North America. That's shameful and can ONLY be blamed on humanity. So let's make 2011 a year where we have a heart and help as many cats (and dogs) get out of these facilities as possible. A SHELTER IS NOT A SAFE PLACE for these beautiful creatures. Overpopulation is NOT their fault - it's ours for not sterilizing, for letting unsterilized cats outside. Personally I believe cats should remain inside if not taken out on a leash - we do not let a dog out alone expecting it to come back safe and sound and a cat should not be put in that position either!!!
Every cat that sets it's paws in my house is a rescue. My very first Sphynx was my beloved RB MooShoo, who passed over to the Bridge on 2/13/10. He was my soulmate and I will never get over him being gone. Austin B was a rescue too.
Sheba, you're a stunner, that's for sure! If your personality matches your looks, I'd say that your humans got the best possible Sphynx ever. Who cares if you can be a show cat or not? It's the love that you give and receive that counts. Enjoy your day as COTD, pretty girl. :)
Sheba, You are a beautiful girl! I would imagine that you feel like velvet (the way Luke feels after getting a lion cut). You really do look like a sphinx statue I've seen in photos. I am so glad you have a wonderful home & as others have said, it doesnt matter one bit that you have too much hair for a show cat. Mercy, to me it looks as if you have very very little hair & no wonder you like the warmth of the sun & fireplace. Others mentioned that they adopted their cat; so did I. He was on his way to animal shelter when I saw him & Luke is a beautiful cat. Back to you Sheba, it is obvious that you have a great home & are loved. Congrats on being COTD! Kay in NC
I am a bit conflicted with not buying pure bred Cats from breeders as Miquelito and Pouncierge were retired Show Cats who I bought as their cattery was crowded. And John Hancock and Benjamin James came the same way as he was in a bad home.
There are so amny very Good Cats at these breeders who cannot show and I am especially glad I took in Miquelito and Pouncierge as they are my mainstays now.
Sheba ia such a Beautiful Cat and I would guess with the cold weather she stay close to the sun and warmth.
We have a stand up vent in the Cat Room, and Sheba would love the way the warm air would carress her, and I ma sure My Cats would make room for one more.
:):)
You are so Beautiful Sheba , and you share your name with My Aunt Madeline and Uncle Ted's Siamese Sheba ,, who is 22 years young this year.
