Although our hearts are shattered we still want to wish everyone a merry and safe Christmas tomorrow! We will be taking a break from our social media pages from tonight until January 1st as much as we love keeping in touch with all our families and future families and also our loyal followers!

2022 has brought much joy and so much pain at the same time so we are going to take this break to reflect on the year past and prepare for the year ahead. Whilst things have been awful loosing 3 of Yennefers babies sadly it has been happening to almost everyone we know in the breeding world from horses to birds it’s not been an easy year for breeders around the globe with the costs of living increasing and our vets around the state charging more and more for their work and time sadly our kittens will be increasing in cost in 2023 but I will advise more of that next year.

Stay safe everyone and I cannot wait to see you all back in 2023 with hopefully some exciting news for you all and us!

Little Aslan update

I wish I had amazing news and I wish I never had to write this but at 12.19am 23rd of December 2022 little Aslan grew his angel wings and was called back to the Sphynx gods for a higher purpose. This was a massive shock to all of us and all our hearts are shattered into ruins and our tears continue to flow we just want to take a moment to remember Aslan for what he truely was…a fighter a heart of a lion the little boy who hid the fact that he was septic from his aspiration and refused to let it show and slow him down wasn’t until tonight we noticed some awful breathing rhythms that we took him to the SASH animal hospital who examined him and found his oxygen was dropping rapidly and his beautiful white colouring was turning blue we made the choice to let Aslan go with dignity and gave him the green dream so he would not suffer all while still capturing the hearts of the vets and nurses. There wasn’t much more we could have done for baby Aslan. I held Aslan until the very last breath and even then held him longer. Aslan my your soul fly high as it ever can but baby boy your soul is always welcome to return home whenever you may feel lost.

Rest easy now my precious prince your watch is over and now you can return to the earth.

Aslan will be cremated so he can stay with us and always find his way home again. Mumma Yennefer already misses you and sweet Navi is sad without you but they know your time whilst short was beautiful. You will never be forgotten.

Little Aslan update!! This buddy is doing well his eye is actually healing nicely so surgery booked on the 12th has been swapped to a consultation instead to see if there is anything else that can be done before making the big decision to remove it this was the vets request as his eye whilst white has started to get colour back. We do know that baby Aslan was odd eyed and his blue eye is very healthy and will remain blue 😍🥰

⭐️4 WEEKS OLD TODAY ⭐️

Little Navi and Aslan have grown so so much these little ones are so special 😍😍

I needed to share this photo with you all because I think it’s important to see just how well connected our little Sphynx family is. This big boy is McEvoy he is the heart and soul of the house. He manages everyone with gentle care and is a huge love bug. Today he met baby Aslan for the first time and instantly gave him nose kisses. All our sphynx’s here give nose kisses to each other and humans. We do no see our Sphynx as “pets” we are equals and this is proving to be our greatest strength throughout the hard times. This photo captures the deepest love and respect anyone could imagine. Sphynx aren’t just cats they are kinsman to your life. They are lovers and carers protectors it’s an honour to own a breed like Sphynx 🥰🥰🥰

Beautiful mumma Yennefer. Cheeky girl giving us a little blep 👅 😍😍😍😍

We have an eye patch to help keep it clean and from worsening. And he just looks to damn cute not to share 😍

11/12/2022

Do not be frightened by his eye this boy is still such a beautiful soul and gorgeous to look at. While fighting all battles he still stays content and happy. Even started exploring with his sister. He takes his medications and eye drops like a champion and then has lovely snuggles. Such a trooper. His eye is slightly worse today but still not giving up just yet. Will we take him back to see the vet tomorrow and see what they suggest to get him to the date of his surgery or see if they may bring it closer. He may become a one eyed pirate boy but who doesn’t love a fun loving pirate 😍

A update on our baby Aslan!

So today I bring you both good and bad news with Aslan. He is now almost 2 weeks post aspiration and is still doing super!

HOWEVER

Baby Aslan has now a secondary infection that has affected his left eye that is suspected to have been caused by his oxygen therapy drying out the eye being only a fresh newly opened eye that caused friction and blistered his cornea. This has resulted in it become infected and ulcerated. Yesterday we had baby Aslan back at the vet and our attempts failed us and they eye has been severely damaged. We have now gone onto new stronger eye drops and antibiotics to see if we can reverse the damage enough for him to be able to keep his eye. If not he will have it sadly have to have his sweet little eye removed. Either way little Aslan will only have vision in his right eye moving forward.

This little guy is super resilient and battles through everything. The Sphynx gods really have a bigger plan for him here on this earth💜

Keeping with our transparency policy I wanted to share another story of one of Yennefers baby’s. This little boy we have nicknamed Aslan had a horrible adventure Saturday and is still not 100% out of the woods. Little Aslan aspirated some milk into his lungs on Saturday that resulted in him stopping breathing and turned blue. Through tears and fear I grabbed the little guy in the purple blanket rushed out the door and to the closest vet while still in my PJs and fluffy bunny slippers while trying to drive a manual car and give CPR to this little guy I rushed through the vet doors and yelled out for the vets who came rushing to our aid grabbing Aslan and rushing him out the back. While I passed the waiting room like a mad women the vet came out what seemed like a life time later and informed me that little Aslan was stabilising well. HUGE sigh of relief. They kept him on oxygen therapy until closing and then discharged him with antibiotics and to have more oxygen therapy at home until he was able to keep his oxygen stable himself. 72 hours straight we sat with baby Aslan with oxygen to his little face but I’m glad to report that after 5 days Aslan still is fighting and is doing well. He is gaining weight moving around with his sister feeding on his own and is stabilising his oxygen on his own well. His breathing is still slightly off but it is being monitored closely with all of us here checking on him and tag teaming sleep when possible and even the kids pitched in by cooking dinner and my eldest son keeping me company on the long nights.

Although he is doing well I want to be very honest he is far from out of the woods. Infection is the biggest fear with this as well s the possibility of re-aspiration which would ultimately be a death sentence. So although I wish I could tell you all he is 100% going to make it I can’t but what I can say is he is 100% fighting and has been improving each day so far.

We nicknamed him Aslan from the fantasy classic book series of C.S Lewis the chronicles of Narnia as Aslan was the lion who sacrificed himself but was brought back to life by ancient magic. That I similar to what this little dude did. He came back because of the old magic of love and deep care.

I will keep everyone posted on how little Aslan travels and let’s just all pray together that this little fighter makes a full recovery

So after a lot of thinking and looking at the breeding program and what I want to produce in the future we have decided to keep our naughty tortie so would like to welcome little miss⭐️ Crescentmoon Enchantress ⭐️ to the future program (home name still to be decided)

Very proud of my girls they are such beautiful girls with amazing standards but the best part is their personalities could ask for sweeter girls.

Being a breeder is not an easy job and today really tested everything I stand for. Sadly it is with the deepest sadness that I have to tell you all that 2 of Yennefers babies grew their angel wings today. And instead of pretending like it doesn’t happen and keep everyone in the dark I’m going to tell you all what happened.

Little red was our last born baby and was born with a severe umbilical hernia. These are not uncommon for cats. Saturday morning just hours after he was born we had him at our vet having the hernia stitched over and mr little red was growing and gaining weight well but sadly last night his mumma was grooming him and ripped the stitches out which lead to his tiny little liver being forced outside of his little body. So I rushed him back to the vet where I was told to put him to sleep. I declined and opted to at least try giving this little fella a fighting chance. The surgery went well however he declined about an hour out of surgery. The vet surgeon explain he possibly had an issue with his diaphragm because of the hernia. So little red grew his wings but at least he grew them fighting for a chance. We don’t give up on our babies.

Little miss white lady was the shock. Upon bringing little reds body home I came inside and checked the babies straight away to see she didn’t look great I immediately picked her up and she was limp and already gone but I did administer mouth to mouth but sadly was unable to revive. I honestly cannot tell you what went wrong and why she passed because I simply just don’t know.

What I do know is that the 4 days these little nuggets had in this life were filled with love and devotion not just by me but by their mumma Yennefer. Mumma is very sad but a lot of comforting she will be okay in the near future.

For now we are focusing on the two other little babies. These reasons are why we don’t allocate any kittens until they have had their first vet check because sadly anything can happen. Sphynx have a high mortality rate I know this isn’t something everyone wants to know but sadly it is the truth.

So please always be kind to your breeders of your kittys and puppy’s we do go through a lot of stress and heart break but we continue to do what we do so families have the amazing experience of one day owning these special little beings 💜

💜💜💜
Little Red 19/11/22 - 23/11/22

May your little souls find bright lights and peace where ever you may have traveled
