Hello again fellow Lairians, and join me in celebrating some exciting news!
Last year, some of you may remember I was looking for general Sphynx-care info, Breeder info, and Vet recommendations.
Well, we finally met with a Breeder who some of my family are familiar with, and met with her kitties. To our joy, my SO didn't react to any of her kitties AT ALL -
even the ones with peach fur and/or small patches of fur on them!
So ~ so hello to our boy, Lord Beerus!
Deposit was made last weekend, and the Breeder just contacted me again today with a new pic (on the right) and to let me know she'd be working on setting up his transportation date, as he's currently in Russia and will need to come to the US before our official pick-up date.
I was wondering --
what sort of things should I prepare for with welcoming a kitty from out-of-country?
I'm not yet sure if the Breeder intends for me to arrive to pick up the same day he'll be arriving in the US, or if he'll have time at her Cattery to rest beforehand - and thought it'd be a good idea to get some info and prepare beforehand. I'm sure he's going to be tired from the travel, so I want to make sure I can keep him as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Esp since he'll also need a vet visit within 48 hours of me picking him up from the Breeder.
Also; are there any specific things I should ensure to do to make him more comfortable around the house as a Bambino?
I'll be doing some research om Bambinos specifically now that I know my boy is one, but I'd to hear what others who are experienced with them have to say.
I'm still excited. So much.
I can't wait to welcome him home.

I'm trying so hard to stay sane while I wait for him :sob:
Edit: I just realized, I received the 1 Year Anniversary Here at Sphynxlair trophy today! So crazy how things work like that! All the more excited now!
