I picked her up and will post pics tonight. She is getting used to the others here (shih-tzus and 1 sphynx). I have only had one cat in my life, my current Sphynx, so I am new to introducing 2 cats to each other. They are avoiding each other, and a lot of "growling" and hissing, but they don't fight. I am thinking they will quickly love each other. She slept on her blankie the whole 2 hour drive home, she is so precious! She is scary thin and "sneezes" a lot and breathes a little heavy, so a trip to the vet is in order tomorrow. She is so loving though, always purring and wanting to cuddle! I will keep you guys posted and put up some pics.
Congratulations! A very strong word of advice, you should keep her separated from your other kitty for a few days and at the very least until you've had her seen by your vet - and tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV. Especially if she's sneezing - she could be sick and pass it to your other sphynx. Not only for the health benefit, but it will be a much easier transition if she gets comfortable in the new home in her own "sanctuary space" first and then is very slowly introduced to the rest of the family. Do you have a spare bedroom you could keep her in for the next week? If she is sick, the added stress of a new family will very likely make it worse.
Best of luck!!
