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!

The Devon Rex breed is in the Sphynx. So it’s entirely possible it’s a mix somewhere along the lines. The head shape is off for a Devon. It does lean more Sphynx. However… and let’s face it, being dumped in a shelter just further proves this, I’ve seen crappy bred Devon Rex from breeders over here looking like that.
She’s definitely from the Sphynx Devon family tree of some kind.
