The cat love runs deep for me 💖
Here's me in 2000 with our neighborhood cat who was extremely patient with a 5 year old me carrying him around like a doll 🫣

A message to the SPCR community from Executive Director, Kirsten Krantz

At the end of this week I will be personally fostering two Sphynx, one Bambino (naked with short legs), two Elfs (naked, curled ears) and one Dwelf (naked, short legs, curled ears). Most are from shelters. Most have problems including bad immune systems, chronic diarrhea, obesity, ear infections and UTIs, none of which their owners cared to deal with. I know I'm preaching to the crowd here but I need my two minutes.
I predicted this increasing wave of dumped mutants over 20 years ago with the rise of social media and that inevitable call of the dollar where freaks are concerned. Dogs have been victims of this for a very long time so I guess it should be no surprise that cats are being born to suffer now. Everyone and their brother is mixing and matching terrible genetics, producing waifs like my own Mewtant who, after a sickly life, died recently at the age of five due to multiple organ failure.
Tik Tok is awash with videos of these cats doing cute things, driving demand. And now the results of this "fad" are washing up on our rescue shores in increasing numbers.
You all know I adore my own two n**e rescue girls. And I will make every effort to heal and fix and find great homes for all those in my care. But quite honestly they should not have been born with premeditated problems because dwarfism seems cute, or chronically infected ears that curl backwards makes for good content. I would have loved for my Sphynx girls to have fur. But they didn't, and when they found themselves sick and homeless we were there for them.
All I can say is, unless you truly know what is involved in these cats' care and are 100 percent certain you will care for them regardless, do not fuel the demand. If you know someone looking, tell them about this and if they still insist then send them to rescue. Have them contact ME for a reality check. Every cat deserves to at least be born healthy...not compromised at conception.
