In Canada crooks shave the usual kittens and sell them for $ 700, posing for sphinxes
In the canadian province of Alberta are crooks that give purebred kittens without fur for dear sphinxes.
At first the kittens really like the hairless Sphynx, but then the wool grows, and the new owners of animals realize that they were deceived.
Joanna dick, from the city of Red deer took home a kitten named Vlad, bought it for 700 dollars. "He looked like a little Sphinx, because it was very skinny and angular snout". Soon, Joanne noticed that Vlad behaves differently than the rest of her sphinxes, and is not able to live with them. She sold the kitten to another woman.
"The next few days, the new owner Vlad had said, because he couldn't calm down. She took the kitten to the vet and it turned out that the damage to his skin caused by the razor or hair removal cream".
It turned out that the attackers hurl kittens whiskers and remove their hair with razors or cream. "I thought he was crying because he misses his mother, and only then realized that he probably was hurt," says Joanne dick.
In addition, cuts on the tail Vlad was infected and could lead to amputation. Fortunately, now the kitten is healthy and safe. He left the woman who took him from Joanna.
Sheila Bastaras also became a victim of fraud: she bought a black kitten for $ 650, relying on the fact that it is the Sphinx.
