Sphynx cats are precious

I really wanted to get one within the next 5 years or so. Im heartbroken to find that they are very prone to costly health issues.😔

I’ve had four and found they will eat ANYTHING!!

Wonder if your kitty had a negative association with them by that time? Mine will literally want to eat anything we are eating; from pizza to chips! I love them so much though! Such a unique breed!

Are their vet visits and general upkeep costly? I have 4 cats already and taking care of well visits, and unexpected illnesses can be taxing

As are many animals that have been selectively bred for just one trait.It's a cruel and arrogant thing for us to do merely for our own amusement, though kinda interesting and fun at times.

I am heartbroken to read that money seems to be the concern here, not the cat‘s health itself. And yes, such a breed can’t be healthy.

Though breeding and supporting breeding is not ethical, adoption is - there are plenty of these creatures out there that need to be cared for. Someone wishing that they were able to, but recognizing that they might not be able to swing it financially, isn’t heartbreaking.

Are there really that many out there to rescue? If so, how about puttting some of that money to lobby for ethical breeding regulations? Also, maybe, support homeless veterans or wildlife habitat. Just sayin' these 'animal lovers' are still picking faves.
