Sphynx kittens & cats in Hercules, California

My son is on the spectrum and lost his best friend, a cat named Neo. He wanted a hairless cat, so we got Timmy. Unfortunately, Timmy is stressed out in our home. He is being picked on by my Burmese cats and started urinating on our clothes sporadically also. I had a thorough evaluation by the vet and have determined that our home is too chaotic for Timmy. In lieu of a fee, I am willing to accept a $1,000 donation to the ASPCA. This is about finding the right home for Timmy. He is sweet, sensitive, intelligent, and loves to be with people. He has a typical sphynx personality except is more aloof, and I think he needs to be an only child. He is picky about his litter and needs someone who can baby him. He requires regular bathing. Applicants will be screened very thoroughly and must be able to afford the best care for this gentle animal. He is a little over two years old.

Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue is helping facilitate the adoption of this cat through our Owner Placement Program. We take no responsibility for the health and medical records of this cat. It is the responsibility of the owner and adopter to discuss this. Taco is NOT in a Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue foster home, but residing with my current owner in San Francisco. Adoption fee applies. Meet Taco: a breathtaking red bicolor Sphynx whose sleek, hairless body and striking markings turn heads everywhere. With an impressive purebred pedigree featuring Russian and Ukrainian Best in Show winners, he’s as regal as he is adorable. But what truly makes Taco unforgettable is his magnetic personality. This boy is pure sunshine wrapped in warm, velvety skin. He’s deeply affectionate, wildly playful, endlessly curious, and completely people-focused. Taco doesn’t just want your attention — he craves it. He thrives when he’s the center of your world, following you from room to room, “helping” with every task, and demanding cuddle sessions on his terms (which is basically all the time). He’s not a big meower; instead, he makes the most endearing little duck-like quacks — a charming “chatter” that Sphynx lovers adore. When Taco feels safe and adored, he blossoms. He bonds fiercely with his favorite person and wants to be part of everything — playtime, chores, movie nights, and especially lap time. He’s entertaining, mischievous in the best way, and incredibly loving. However, this comes with an important requirement: Taco must be the only pet in the home. No other cats. No dogs. No exceptions. In his current home, the difference is night and day. His owner shares: “When the other pets aren’t around, he’s amazing — playful, curious, and so happy. But when they’re present, he hides in his crate most of the day. It’s heartbreaking. He truly needs to be the only pet so he can get all the love and attention he deserves.” Taco does best in a home where someone is present for much of the day. Sphynx cats are highly social and can become anxious or depressed if left alone for long stretches. Special Care Routine Taco is strictly indoor-only, with outdoor time limited to short, fully supervised sun sessions (he loves them!). His pampered care includes: • SPF Bodhi lotion for safe sunbathing • Nightly dental support (Pet Wellbeing liquid + Oxyfresh in drinking water) • Weekly eye care with Vetericyn gel as needed His gourmet diet features Ziwi Peak wet and dry food (beef & blue whiting), with dehydrated quail for breakfast and minnows with dried egg yolk in the evening. In the right home, Taco will flourish into the most devoted, entertaining, and affectionate companion you could imagine. He’s waiting for that special person who understands his need to be the one and only — and is ready to give him the undivided love he craves. Adoption Requirement: No other pets. No exceptions.

If you believe you're my perfect adopter please explain why in the comments section of my Adoption Application, and contact Pamela at cheemers@gmail.com or (707) 498-6578. If you are unable to reach Pamela please email info@purebredsplus.org. NOTE: We prefer families with children bring them to the adoption appointment. Why? This allows interaction between the children and the cat. This helps ensure they will be a good fit for each other. A mismatch between a child and a cat is not in anyone's best interests!
