That's the pack! Also part of the family are my 6 cats, I'll post pictures of them if someone wants me to.
- 19 year old Sophie, a purebred Ragdoll I rescued when I was in vet tech school, sadly she was going to be taken into a field and shot because she was "to evil" to live. Ok, so she's a grouch old coot, but she'd been so horribly abused! It took me over a year to gain her trust, and at least 2 more before she really started showing me her true colors - Now affectionately known as the monster under the bed/desk/recliner or wherever else she chooses to "guard", she really can be one of the sweetest cats ever!
- 5 year old Haley, one of my 5 Sphynx, rescued from a BYB here in Vegas with her sister, Cali. Sadly, I lost Cali only a week after I rescued them to HCM, a tragic yet all to common heart disease in Sphynx cats. She's queen of Catdome, and such a lady!
- 5 year old Osiris, my miracle cat. He was an "outdoor cat", also rescued from someone here in Vegas. A year ago we nearly lost him to a mystery illness we never could figure out - Thankfully he beat the odds and after 3 weeks of ICU care he came home and slowly recovered. Even the vets didn't think he had a chance - But he never gave up, and neither did I! Sadly, he's also HCM positive, but with a good cardiologist I hope to have many more happy years with this very special boy!
- 3 1/2 year old Athena, my 1 eyed wonder cat. She lost one of her eyes and has limited vision in the other due to years of untreated herpes infections and neglect. Sassy as can be - She doesn't let her limited vision get in her way!
- 2 year old Isis, the smallest of the Nekkids (my affectionate name for my Sphynx), barely 5 1/2 lbs, and such a monster HAHAHA She's Casper's best buddy, and there's no trouble the 2 of them can't think up! Also HCM positive, I managed to get my hands on her through word of mouth - She was to be sold as a breeder cat
It made me cringe - And knowing she has HCM as well, her size alone would make her a very poor canidate for breeding - So glad I managed to get my hands on her instead of her passing on bad genes to countless other sphynx that would have suffered!
- 2 year old Casper, NAUGHTY NAUGHTY NAUGHTY! He came to me about a year ago shortly after the death of my beloved first sphynx, Oogie. He's a bad boy - But only because of neglect. He went from home to home because he was bad about using the box - When he got to me a vet visit quickly showed a horrible UTI - NO WONDER! Even with UTI gone, he can be naughty about using his box, and after months of looking when I couldn't find the right home that'd put up with his bathroom habits, I decided that he'd stay. He's a darling boy despite his naughtiness, he's always into some sort of mischief!
