This is our brand new pal, Zarina, who is a super friendly Sphynx cat. In my nearly 23 years volunteering with PAWS, Zarina is the first Sphynx I've have the opportunity to photograph. As you can see from her awesome Sunday selfies, she made my job pretty dang easy.
Zarina is so new to the shelter that we don't yet have a ton of information about her. What we DO know is that she's outgoing and curious, and that she loves people. More to come!
It's Sunday, which means we're hopping along in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our pals at The Cat On My Head. Be sure to check it out to see who else is hopping along (or to join in on the fun)!
Wow! It is so rare to see a Sphynx kitty at a shelter! I know lots of humans will be interested in Zarina... but few of them will probably understand how much upkeep she will need.
ReplyDeleteYou are a pretty girl, but why the raspberries, Zarina?
ReplyDeleteZarina has beautiful eyes and I love the tongue sticking out. :)
ReplyDeleteI am busting to know all about her...please. And Summer has a point..she needs upkeep for keeping her sweet self healthy and gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis got mom and I wondering what the Sphinx does for measurement gauging with no whiskers at all.
ReplyDeleteHow did beautiful Zafina end up in a shelter? Such an interesting cat!
ReplyDeleteWe love Zarina with the tongue out :)
ReplyDeleteWe purr a loving home will come her way soon :)

ReplyDeleteWe never met a Sphynx cat before! Are you from Egypt, Land of the Sphynx?
We hope your fur-ever family will fibd you soon!
We meant find, of course. Not fibd (mol).
ReplyDeleteZarina is very striking looking with her big eyes and black nose and what seems to be a permanent raspberry. We did not know that Sphinx cats do not have whiskers. We look forward to learning more about Zarina in the future. Please thank her for hopping.

ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful. I wish I could adopt her. I Know she will get a home quickly. XO
ReplyDeleteZarina is striking and beautiful in her own ways. So Sphinx Cats don't have whiskers now that is interesting. Didn't know that. She takes a purrfect Sunday Selfie but then she's the purrfect model.
ReplyDeleteZarina, you sure are one gorgeous cat. We so hope you find a really good home.
ReplyDeleteMom says Sphynx cats are warm and cuddly and very loving.

My goodness Zarina, you are a strikingly beautiful girl. We're send our purrs that you find your furever home soon.
ReplyDeleteZarina is so beautiful! I love those blue eyes and that little tongue. She looks like she has a ton of personality. I hope that she finds the purrfect forever home soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beauty!! How special to be able to photograph her.
ReplyDeleteZarina has been adopted! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that cats like Zarina cost so much that few end-up in shelters, and that there would be rescue groups devoted just to them. If I were to ever have a pedigree cat, it would probably be a Turkish Angora.
ReplyDeleteI live in Oregon, and my wife and I adopted five rescue cats. The shelter insisted that they be kept indoors, but we feel so strongly about the matter that we wouldn't consider doing otherwise. For at least ten years, I've had a phenomenal friend/blog buddy who lives a mere 45-miles from me, yet we've never met, although I always assume that we someday will. Because, as the saying goes, "she doesn't play well with others," she is her own rescue group, and has her own tax-deductable one-woman charity. Because I am so incredibly impressed by her, I share her blog address with any and everyone who even might be marginally interested, so I will share it with you. Her name is Jody: https://catwomanflix.blogspot.com/2020/06/gray-fluff.html
