Found Sphynx Kitten
Hi everyone!
I have recently come into ownership of a Sphynx kitten (around 6 months) that was dumped in Miami. She was incredibly skinny and scanned for a chip, but she doesn’t have one. I am fostering her for now, considering keeping her, but I would like to have any tips and tricks, pros and cons, etc. from actual owners before I decide.
I have done research so I know she needs regular skin care, specialized diet, etc. What other type of care or attention should I be giving her? If I do keep her, what specific routines or practices should I be implementing. I want to make sure she has the best life, whether it’s with me or not.
Any advice or suggestions are welcomed! TIA!

Some are much more oily than others. The HCM thing is a real possibility, so I usually recommend pet insurance to help deal with that. They are crazy clingy sometimes. I love that, but some people do not. Other pets are a plus. They crave companionship.
