I actually came across her when she came into the Cat rescue group I am part of. Imagine that, a Peterbald abandoned outside in terribly cold wet weather!! As soon as I heard we had a "sphynx" dropped off at the center I was on the phone to the president of the group telling her I wanted the kitty. It was a day later that someone saw her picture that we were corrected and told she was a Peterbald. She is estimated to be around 8 years old.

We did track down the "breeder" or someone that claims it was her cat at one time and she said that the cats teeth were that bad cuz she had some kind of medical condition that made it so she couldn't eat dry food so she was being fed Friskies, AD and Goat's Milk.....Uh the medical condition was BAD TEETH!! She was observed today happily crunching away on dry food. :Surprise: I am hoping to get a birth date on her, but it doesn't matter to me. Right now I say she was born on 11/25/2003.....2003 to represent the 8 years and 11/25 to represent her "birth" of getting to me. :Smile:

That sounds like a wonderful birthdate to me! :ThumbsUp: :BigSmile: It's absolutely horrible that the previous owner never treated her teeth! :Angry: Squeaks could only eat wet food when we got her because of the pain, but now eats it all! It sounds like Neytiri is feeling sooooo much better now with your care. :BigSmile::ThumbsUp::BigSmile:

Took Neytiri to the vet for her 3 day follow up. She is healing well and the swelling is going down. So that means that they won't need to send the biopsy off of her gum tissue. :BigSmile:

I bought her a sweater and coat today. I am not sure how pleased she is with it. I will post her picture a different thread. :BigSmile:
