Looking to Adopt Forevermore Babies in the Suncoast, Florida

[Spartan]

Aloha!

I've had Sphynx cats for well over two decades. I even ran a boutique breeding operation for several years, essentially for friends who fell in love with my gremlins.
After returning to the USA about five years ago, I am now exploring adoption opportunities for my most cherished breed of cat. I come across a lot of dead websites and some questionable breeder operations, to say the least. I'm also astonished at the prices some people are asking for adopting purebred babies.

Nevertheless, I figured I would reach out to this community now that it is back online, and I just found out today.

@Spartan ,welcome back fellow Floridian.
several of us have adopted from members. I have all adoptees. I always try to help hearts align. what city are you located in ? travel distance?( sharing the max rehoming fee on SL adoptions is $250 each).

be sure to read the fraud tips link. very helpful when I was looking at FL ads in cyberworld outside sphynxlair.
. saved me from near scam in FL.

Ways to help detect fraud & scammers when adopting/buying a cat

NEVER send money via Western Union. If possible - get a cat or kitten that is in driving distance of your home. Most breeders selling kittens or people re-homing or adopting out will communicate no problem via phone, emails or in person. If not - look somewhere else. Visit the breeder’s home if...

Thanks for the follow-up. I live on the Suncoast in North Port.

I reached out to nearly a dozen breeders and was astonished at some of the prices, and several others never responded.

With that said, I've been in touch with two reputable breeders—.

Unfortunately, I don't have that much extra cash available, and it will be a while at this point due to unexpected, significant medical and home expenses back-to-back.

@Spartan , hugs , stay active with us and check often. (sending well wishes for you health and that home expenses settle, I can relate to back to back sudden expenses recently)..

I do have to edit out breeder names as we can't mention on main page. we can PM reputable breeder names .

****please be sure to research. **** I always google cattery names and complaints, check complain boards for patterns.

the fraud tips link and reputable breeder link has great info and tips when looking at breeder and ads in cyberworld..

What to expect from a responsible sphynx breeder

We get this question quite a bit here on Sphynxlair so I figured we would compile some useful information, a check list if you will for a first time sphynx buyer or even an existing sphynx parent looking to get another sphynx cat or kitten. All of these items listed below aren't necessarily deal...

stay active with us, over the years as a member I see FL rehomes come up on SL more frequently than other states.

Thanks for the follow-up, and no worries about the edit. I get it.

I spent about six hours researching and reached out to two shelters for information.

Nevertheless, I'll stay active, especially once I have a baby or preferably two, due to the companionship needs.

Welcome back! Hope you find a naked or two to love. Maybe search for rescues, retired breeder or rehomers?
