Some of you may know my story, for those that done a brief explanation,for my 18th birthday I bought myself a moggy kitten, Conrad, he was short of 6 months when he passed from fip, a few years later I then bought my first Sphynx lucifer 3 years ago, he passed away just after his first birthday, we fought a long fight he was my heart cat, he had fip, when he passed I always said I'd rescue a Sphynx if one came up, my mum couldn't cope with how depressed I became so she bought me my girl FLO, she was 8 years old, a month ago a girl messaged me who worked at the RSPCA they had a Sphynx up for rescue, she was 4 and so I adopted her, Glenda, last week, she came down for breakfast and had a funny moment and dropped dead, my mum preformed cpr for half an hour but she was gone instantly..from certain forums I'm believing she may have had hcm a few days ago a lady contacted me, from a rescue centre, she had been told I am a very good Sphynx owner (I disagree) but that she has a 1 year old male, who had had 3 homes..and she really wants me to have him, however he has a grade 2/6 heart murmur, and they have no onsite cardiologist, my girl FLO has a heart murmur and we are currently under going blood tests and what not but I am just torn, part of me wants to help him and love him, part of me doesn't dare take him on and curse him with my bad luck, I just don't know if I could take the pain if anything was to go wrong..but then why am I always contacted? Am I supposed to help them, please just help me decide..a lady whos high up on another forum I'm on had told me not to take him, but I'm just not sure what to do all the cats I have bought myself have passed away, I feel like I'm killing them
