Does anyone know where to adopt a sphynx cat?

I'm looking to adopt a Sphynx cat in the Los Angeles area. I would prefer to adopt from a shelter or foster home. Does anyone know any good resources?

1. Look on the internet for a dependable shelter or a rescue center in your area.
2. I don't think that a sort of rare cat like that would be in a shelter. You probably would have to buy it from a breeder. Good luck!! :))
3. look online and any local vet can tell u also..
4. There are not a lot of SX breeders in the LA area, and it is highly unlikely that you will find one locally at a shelter. You might consider looking for a retiree if the cost is an issue, you might be able to find a young adult that will have many years ahead of it as a happy pet :) BUT, why a Sphynx? They have WONDERFUL personalities, but they must be bathed once or twice a week, or they will leave oily patches where the like to lay! Then there is the cleaning of the nail beds, and the ears, ... If you want a hairless cat, you should Google "peterbald cat", they look like an Oriental, long and lean, big low ears, share the very outgoing, dog-like personality of the Sphynx, and need to be bathed about once every other month. They are SUPER, check them out!
