Sphynx Cat wanted

Magic my Sphynx cat passed away just before Christmas. I had named her Magic. We all miss her terribly.

I don`t know if you can help me with this or not, but I thought that I would ask. I am looking for another Sphynx cat; I would like to find a Sphynx that needs to be rehomed. Any age, gender, size, color preferably that gets along with other animals. Also in good health, I don`t have it in me both emotionally and financially to through health issues with another pet. I would love to get a kitten, but that is not in my budget and giving a good forever home to a cat that needs to be rehomed is my way of doing something for a Sphynx that is in need.

I have a painting that I did of Magic my Sphynx cat in my art gallery if you would like to see it.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration, please feel free to forward this post to anyone who may have a Sphynx that’s needs a forever home.

This is one of my two work tables. My work tables are all on adjustable height legs. This one is set at counter height to allow me to stand while I work.

The black and white art work on the wall is a limited print (1 of 1) by Casey Cunningham. You can see more of his work on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=100001733711100

If you have an artist block or are between subjects, this is a good place to go for more ideas.

Art studio content - pet friendly

This page will be only for what happens/about inside by studio. From client visits, to open studio tours and artist meetings (Like Minded Artist group and Art Biz Salon).

I will be including photographs to show how clean/messy my studio gets during and between projects. Lets not forget those eventful days of tax return preparation and all the stacks of paperwork that running a business entails.

My studio being animal friendly will have photographs showing my dog's and my clients dog's too if they want to bring them along in the studio. I'll even show you where I hide the doggy treats for those on their best behavior!
