The scammers only make money because idiots create a market by purchasing over priced merchandise, in this case cats, and the scammers take advantage of it. guess what? If no one was interested in $1000 (or whatever) cat no one would be able to sell it..

Adopt a mutt cat from the shelter... there are so many wonderful cats that need homes.

Whoever did this should be arrested and put in prison

Poor furbabies. :(

This is horrible! Animal abuse is nothing new, but this is a new low. I adopted two sphynx cats from a rescue, hoping my allergic sister could tolerate them. Nope! But they're still awesome cats! Great personalities! However, they're more work than furred cats, and often have more expensive medical needs. Don't get one because you think they're cool -- they're an expensive pet.

That is very sad and awful that people would do that to regular little kittens and That's so cruel and I would definitely call that animal abuse

Those poor sphinxes!

This is so awful. Those poor little creatures. And even legit breeding of Sphynx cats has serious ethical issues, to be honest. 34% have genetic heart abnormalities. Please just adopt a kitten from the pound, people!

Evil scum

Adopt and don't buy!!!

Then don't buy cats there are so many out there looking for a warm house

Something is wrong with people nowadays

Interesting that the ears,on these cats look the same shape as the sphinx cats. They seem taller than most breeds of cats. I wonder if they are mixed with the sphinx, just not hairless. Of course, they aren't as valuable, as in dollar wise, but they are priceless to their owners.

cruel to breed away a cats fur. In my eyes those poor creatures don't even count as proper cats and some others already told, that they have health problems. And all that just because people.either find it beautiful (how can they) or hope this is the solution for their cat allergy ( in which case they should just try and live a life without cats. I know this is hard, I am allergic myself, so I know what I am talking about. But it is still a better option than breeding cats to a completely unnatural and unhealthy

you guys dont have in US some feline organizations that authorize animal breeding and confirm their genealogy?

Animal cruelty is shameful. I don’t believe that responsible breeding is. I also don’t believe it’s wrong. However, everyone is entitled to their personal opinion. I would argue that if someone says breeding cats is cruel, then they should consider domesticating any animal cruel. Perhaps they themselves shouldn’t own pets at all since that would be supporting the domestication of animals period. If pets were no longer in demand then all animals could be free to live in the wild.

I would be tempted to trick the breeder into meeting me under a different name, so I could pluck out his eyelashes and shave off his eyebrows. Scum!

She should take better care of her cats, that real sphinx has so much ear mite, it is disgusting! And people shouldn't buy a special bred cat if they don't know anything about the breed. This is karma for those attention seeking dummies who want a special breed for a very low price. If people would have me pay 700 dollars for a 1200 dollar cat, I wouldn't want it.

Why would you buy a cat?

Lesson: Don't buy pets, adopt homeless pets :)

It upsets me to know that person wants to gain money by hurting innocent kittens all animals are a blessing and precious would never hurt any animall i have wonderful cats i love so much

Share this so these f*****s get caught!!

An exotic cat is only for exotic cat enthusiastst the breeding should only ever be done by certified breeders if people stopped trying to buy cheap exotic cats this wouldn't happen, if you have done your research and still want to own an exotic cat you should find a reputable breeder who will give you plenty of information if you meet their standards they may sell u a kitten but you won't be spending 700 dollars it will be thousands, in the U.K. We have tica which is a bit like the kennel club where u can find good quality kittens and cats but your not gonna get a cheap one, however u will get a real one that has been loved and cared for properly

How is it cruel to shave a cat but not cruel to intentionally selectively breed harmful genetic mutations into animals and charge top dollar

WTF!!! I would be hella mad and not cause I spent that much money, it's cause these poor cats been through so much pain. I hope these muthafucka get caught and got what they deserved.

That's horrible I wish I could punch them in the face for suck cruel acts

Next time, just go to your local animal shelter. Adopt a homeless kitty from there.

This is why people have to stop "buying" pets. So many are waiting for love in shelters even if you 're looking for a special breed. Pets sellers have to be arrested and buyers have to learn. I have a real Siamese cat in my backyard since last august. He is so scared of humans, cats, dogs birds... I feed him and I built a shelter for him in my garden ( he doesnt want to come in my house so...). Look around you, you'll find a little beautiful creature that can love you as much as one you can buy from any seller.

If they have 700$ for that, they are fine.

I hope they catch them. There is nothing wrong with people that purchase these animals. You are attacking the wrong people. Let's put our energy into ending the abuse.

What the f*ck world ??!

Stupid cat owners

No cat should be sold for that much money. It seems strangely wrong to me.

It's always the poor animals that end up suffering. Some people are so greedy and cruel

Stop hating the people who buy sphinx. A lot of such owners are allergic to cat fur, but love cats in general and that's the only way they can have one. Besides throwing filth on such people is ridduculous. Caitlyn McCracken - it's none of your business what people spend their money on. The fact someone pulls a scam is in question here - if you were the victim of any scam, you would also whine and shout out. Sheesh, people, be more empathic!
