Hi there! I have been petless for a few years now. My last kitty passed away of old age a few years ago and I just needed some time before bringing in a new friend into my life again. I have a large house and when I have a pet I take super good care of him or her. Would have lots of toys, high-quality foods, regular vet visits, tons of attention, and of course love! I was raised that pets are family members.

So anyhow I live in the Orlando area but would drive to any part of Florida and might consider further out with shipping or picking up by plane flight. I work from home with a remote job so the kitty would always have me around for attention and care. I am in my 40's and have no kids at home and no other pets. I am up for an adult or kitten just let me know if you have a Sphynx for adoption. Thank you.

Thank you. For everyone, I did end up adopting a Sphynx kitten. She's 10 weeks old and an amazing kitty already. She's already the most affectionate cat ever. Going to go over and post pictures in that part of the forum.

Well, I ended up going to a breeder in Tampa that breeds Seal Point Sphinx like my little girl, but it was a lot more than the adoption fee here $1200-1500 range. I don't know if that's a deterring factor for you. Money wasn't the issue for me I had wanted to get a slightly older Sphynx initially just a preference of not wanting a kitten and of making sure an existing Sphynx found a good home. However, I don't regret my decision as my little girl has an amazing temperament. She's incredibly sweet, sleeps snuggled up to me every night, and loves being petted. She is incredibly hyper in the morning though.. it's like a speedy little gremlin flying through my room for hours and hours.

@lilsil , welcome to the lair family fellow floridian! please start your own thread looking for in FL so all will see.
I am on the east side near daytona beach. I have all adoptees. adopted 4 , two from a member. several of us have adopted from members. stay positive and active with us. please read the fraud tips link, was very helpful saving me from near scams looking at online ads outside sphynxlair. I also wanted to share an option I never knew of is to adopt a retiree from a reputable breeder. she was spayed, HCM scanned and is the most cuddly. she was 2 when I adopted her from a FL reputable breeder. we stay in touch for over a decade. my girl from her is now 13!

I always try to help hearts align. all paws crossed the sphynx stars align. I look forward to your own looking for thread in the adoption section for attention so your post doesnt get lost in another members thread. I have been a member for over a decade and do see FL rehoming posts quite often.
I can pm you my FL reputable breeder info .

@BorisLV , @tontiangel , @WannabeSphynxMa , @lilsil
just an fyi, we cannot confirm if online ads are legit. I personally err on the side of caution. prayers it is on the up and up and members looking at adoption ads outside sphynxlair do diligent research and read the fraud tips thread. all paws crossed it is legit and finds the purrfect forever home.
