Hello! I am new to the forum and am looking for advice about where I can rescue/adopt a Sphinx cat in the Georgia area. It has always been a dream of mine to own a Sphinx cat for so many reasons. 1.) because they are adorable of course and 2.) because they are hypoallergenic and I am pretty allergic to cats (yes I know Sphinx cats are not completely off the hook for allergies but a friend of mine has one and it has never bothered me!). I never wanted to get one when living in apartments and dorms because I wanted my cat to have a spacious home where it could thrive. I have also struggled with anxiety and depression in the past, and, in that state of mind, never felt fit to provide the accountability the is required to care for an animal. It’s taken a lot of time and effort but I finally bought my first house and am in the best mental health I have ever been in! After years of researching and preparing, I believe I am finally fit to care for a cat, even one as high maintenance as a Sphinx. I have been looking for about 2 months, scouring every website and adoption center and can not find a single Sphinx cat looking to be rescued or adopted in the Georgia area. I have even considered some surrounding states around Georgia but still have found none. I’m not sure if I’m looking in the wrong places or am ignorant as to where I can find Sphinx cats to adopt. I know Sphinx cats are very valuable and are sold for thousands of dollars online, but it has always been a dream of mine to rescue one. I would appreciate if anyone has any advice at all for me as to how I can go about rescuing/adopting a Sphinx cat in the Georgia area (or surrounding states). Thank you!
