I got my kitty, Yudjin from Russia by courier as well. A very smooth transition. Couldn't ask for a better experience.King Kenzo Bare was purchased locally from a wonderful, ethical breeder only 20 minutes away! She’s lovely, and she organizes HCM screening events here in ATX for a discounted rate!
My chocolate girl is flying in from Russia, via courier. The breeder is very well-known and respected in the sphynx community! So thankful to bring one of her babies home! I will follow up with my importing experience in a few weeks to help those who are considering doing the same.
@Yoda mom I don’t think they’re from the same cattery... I’m pretty positive I know where your Claire Bare is from bc I recognize the blue background in her kitten photos!!
HAHAHAHAHHA!! Funny you should mention that! I was laughing at @Monica recognition of @Yoda breeder's kitchen walls, too. That was cute. I can't think of what color walls Yudjin's breeder had, but I'll check in all his baby photos.
Cleo is extremely unique, starting with the Las Vegas beginning. She is also the smartest cat we’ve ever had. She was so attached to me that during her first summer, she went everywhere with me. One day about three weeks after she arrived, I went to lunch with some colleagues, and Cleo stayed home with her Daddieo. She was so angry that she pushed a china jewelry box off my armoir and smashed it. Did I say it was no longer made? That was the start of Life with Cleopatra.@Cleopatra Beers That’s def the most unique sphynx Gotcha story I’ve ever heard! What a gangsta! lol
She's beautiful!!! ♥ Where did you get her collar? Love it!Okay. Importing update!
It was wonderful. Minka arrived via courier around 5 am last Tuesday. The interaction with the courier upon pick up was brief. He had contacted me where to meet via text. He had me look over Minka for approval, scanned her microchip for verification, and handed over her passport/papers. The breeder also had sent some of Minka’s kibbles and some DIVINE Russian chocolate bars as a gift.
Minka looked even more stunning than her photos/videos I had seen of her. She was the picture of health, no runny nose nor goopy eyes. She was also impeccably clean and groomed!! I had read many horror stories of imported cats from other Catteries arriving filthy with a URI, or worse!
Minka ate, drank, and used the litter box upon arriving home without any issues. She had her vet wellness check in the afternoon and was given the all clear to meet the boys! Her personality is everything I could have wanted. Very affectionate and attentive. She took to all the Stinky Boys almost at once. The breeder was in contact with me many times throughout the week to check in on her graduate! You can really tell she truly loves her cats and really works with them before they leave for their forever homes. She even told me that her secret ingredient for producing outstanding cats was LOVE!!!
In summary, I would 100% import another sphynx from this breeder. Some may find that crazy, but our experience was nothing short of a dream!
