A frail, days-old sphynx kitten left at a shelter got the mother’s love she needed to survive when she was “adopted” by another cat at the shelter. Owing to the pair’s sweet bond, the Sphynx was soon thriving and looking for her forever home.
On March 10, a fragile sphynx/American curl-mix kitten, named Cleopatra, was dropped off at Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC) in Rancho Santa Fe, California. According to shelter staffers, the owner was desperate; the kitten’s mother had shown no interest in nursing her babies, and the rest of the litter had died.
