Shortie was on the cat show circuit and did very poorly in the rings because she had no socialization with cats or humans. It was only AFTER I took her in that she began coming out of her shell.

My Sphynx (another rescue from a bad breeder) is partially blind, due to the breeder not treating MooShoo's litter for a herpes virus in his eyes. He and Pixel are the only two from a litter of 5 that survived. All the rest died of FIP.


Here's MooShoo (6 years old, 14.5 lbs)



Here's Shortie (6 years old, 8 lbs)



The little "Munchkinese" kitten's legs were deformed and the kittens were NOT healthy at all!
I was applying at an animal hospital (one of fifty six!) here in town when a lady brought in her kitty. He was a cream colour but not so much. Anyways, he was a Munchkin! First time I have ever heard of that breed. I must do some research! Got any good links?
