To the breeder doing her best:

I see you.
I see the early mornings, the late or sleepless nights, the quiet sacrifices no one else notices. The way you hold your breath when you check on newborns. The way your heart sinks with every tiny worry, and soars with every small victory.

You are doing your best — and your best is extraordinary.

Behind every clean litter box, every fresh food bowl, every health record carefully updated, there is a person who chose responsibility over ease, love over comfort. Behind every socialized kitten, every perfectly matched home, there’s a person who poured time, thought, and heart into every decision.

You carry the weight of lives — not just the ones you raise, but the families you create. You hold so much more than tiny bodies in your hands. You hold dreams, futures, promises.

Most people will never understand just how much it truly takes.
The canceled plans. The constant “just one more thing” that keeps you up late.
The ache in your body when you’re sick but still show up. The ache in your heart when you say goodbye to one you’ve loved from the very first breath.

They might see the kittens. They might see the smiles. But they don’t see the nights you sat up worrying. They don’t see the heartbreak when something doesn’t go as planned. They don’t see the deep responsibility you carry every single day.

You give your best — not because it’s easy, but because it’s who you are. Because when you chose this life, you promised yourself you would never cut corners. That every kitten, every cat, would know love, safety, and care because of you.

And you have kept that promise, even on the days when you are tired, overwhelmed, and stretched thin.

You may not always hear it, you may not always feel it- but you are seen.
You are valued, and you are making a difference, one small life at a time.

And even when it feels like no one notices — know this: The lives you’ve touched, both hairless and human, carry a piece of your heart with them forever, and that love echoes farther than you can ever imagine.🤍

Hi all! This is for anyone thinking about adding a Sphynx to their family 🤍

When searching for a Sphynx breeder, it’s important to do thorough research to avoid potential scams and heartbreak. Unfortunately, many people fall victim to deceptive breeders who prioritize profit over the health and well-being of the animals they sell. This is why it is so crucial to take the time to carefully research breeders before making any decisions.

There are countless examples of how and why it matters to research breeders properly. Many buyers end up with sick or poorly socialized kittens, or they are scammed entirely and never receive the kitten they paid for. Scams can take various forms, from breeders misrepresenting the health and lineage of their cats, such as fraudulent pedigrees/health testing, to individuals posing as breeders who disappear once the payment is made. Unfortunately, these situations happen more often than they should, which is why a careful approach is necessary.

By doing your due diligence, you can ensure that you are working with a legitimate, responsible breeder who truly cares about the welfare of their cats and is committed to responsible breeding practices. A trusted breeder will be transparent about their breeding program, the health of their cats, and any potential genetic issues. On the other hand, a scam artist will often be vague, make false promises, and avoid answering critical questions.

In addition to the financial and emotional cost of being scammed, there are also ethical considerations to keep in mind. Supporting reputable breeders helps ensure that cats are being raised in safe and healthy environments, with a focus on their long-term well-being. Supporting scammers or unethical breeders perpetuates practices that harm both animals and potential owners.

To avoid being taken advantage of, make sure to ask the right questions and check references. It may take extra time and effort, but it’s worth it to protect yourself and your future Sphynx.🤍
