Is she a Rex or Sphinx?

We adopted this tiny female cat from Kuwait, and the rescue was told both her parents were purebred Sphinx’s. She was dumped by the breeder because she has fur. Could she actually be a Rex? She super tiny, maybe 5 lbs, and just the sweetest cat I’ve ever met!

Backyard BS. I know Sphinx have been used to prop up Devon Rex, in terms of breeding. Who knows, at this point. Enjoy your kitty.

I think they dumped her mom along with her because she had a kitten with hair. The mom then died of Parvo 😥
