Hey.. want to thank everyone for following us especially as we get more rescues and retired breeders to help find a great home.. I didn’t add this on the last post because I honestly assumed everyone understood that there is an adoption fee on rehomed, rescues, and retired breeders. Vets charge us, spays and health testing isn’t free. I will tell you that the initial costs on retired breeders is crazy. Between all the testing, HCM scans, and vet costs.. it’s thousands….. thousands.. and sometimes they never have babies and sometimes they do. Adoption fees vary from breeder to breeder and cat to cat. Healthy, loving, spayed, scanned, tested babies will have an adoption fee. I’ve said this every year but I want everyone to understand derstand. Good breeders lose money every year. I lost minimum $11,000 a year when I filed taxes and that was only on basic supplies and vet bills. Bad breeders make money all the time. Respectfully, please know in advance that Sphynx will never be free unless there is significant health or behavior issues. I’m sorry if I haven’t explained that lately. Maybe it will help any of you who truly want a Sphynx older than a kitten. So as we try to find homes as they come available, please keep that in mind. They are not a cheap breed to have as a pet either. They are well worth it but I thought maybe I could help everyone see the big picture. 😊
