cat with HCM and tritrichomonas
I'm having serious health issues with my Sphynx from Susan. I appreciate how "supportive" she has tried to be with me through emails but what it boils down to. I paid a lot of money for a cat that was sick when we picked him up at the airport. There is no excuses for this. I never really had an issue with shipping, she did however cancel it and delay it because she thought the cat was still a bit too small to fly, then she gave us another excuse about the weather being too cold to ship a Sphynx, I asked her if the plane was heated, she said yes.. then what does the weather have anything to do with the Sphynx being shipped (I have spoke to other breeders, they ship their cats when it's in the winter with snow on the ground. However, I'm sure not all breeders have the same opinion)... now I sometimes wonder maybe it was because he was sick so she kept delaying to ship him out until he got better... and she's always spoke to me so she hasn't ignored me ... that is probably the only thing I have nice to say about this breeder but I am having a nightmare of an experience that has made me so upset and sick to my stomach. I feel so guilty because I have 2 other cats before I bought a Sphynx. Now all of my babies are very sick, on and off for months. A year is around the corner. The idea of a breeder and paying A LOT OF money, you hope to buy a cat that is healthy. I'm very aware that not every cat is going to be healthy until the day the cat drops dead of old age, I know this. But the day you pick up your cat at the AIRPORT and it's sick, I don't expect that with the kind of money I paid for the cat. This breeder told me there is no problems in shipping cats, nothing goes wrong, doesn't cause health problems, it is very safe. The day I picked up my Sphynx from the airport, he was coughing, sneezing and wheezing with very very runny eyes that had discharge which he couldn't even open his eyes. The breeder had the nerve to tell me shipping cats can cause uri's... why couldn't she of mentioned this before instead of saying there is no problems in shipping cats? Her lying is probably what has caused my Sphynx to get sick in the first place (Unless he was sick all this time). I did some research, it can be true, flying a cat can cause it to get sick, however, I don't appreciate Susan telling me it's ok to ship a cat, don't worry, there is no health issues... then when my cat arrives sick, she tells me flying can cause uri's. Nightmare. I hate people that lie like that. Then 2 weeks later, my other 2 cats which I have owned for over 9 years without any issues with them, all come down with the same sneezing, coughing and wheezing symptoms, my vet told me not to bring them in unless they get discharge from the nose. I asked about about my Sphynx's eyes having discharge, very runny and he can't open his eyes.. he told me to bring him in, my vet said it's very doubtful flying him in a airplane caused such a bad eye infection like within a hour or so. He has most likely had the herpes virus for a while. I'm not a vet but I see what he's saying. The state my Sphynx's eyes were in, that did not happen within a hour on the plane. He had really bad eyes when we picked him up at the airport. Another week goes by, all my cats come down with eye infections. Another vet visit. I have been paying for eye drops on and off for months ever since I have picked up my Sphynx. My vet has his doubts about this breeder. It's all very suspicious. She even promised me "scans" of the parents and said they'd be in the crate, which they weren't. This breeder is playing the innocent card, the sugarcoating and lying is annoying. The only person she is fooling is herself. She had the nerve to tell me it's a big mystery how my Sphynx got sick. Oh, it's not rocket science. AT THE AIRPORT THE CAT WAS SICK, therefore, you have given me a sick cat. My other 2 cats have NEVER been sick for MANY MANY years. Now they're sick on and off since the Sphynx arrived, same with the Sphynx, he's always got discharge in his eyes, this poor cat lives with eye drops and no matter how much Lysine, these cats are still sick on and off. All my cats get eye infections on and off now. Not to mention because of the herpes virus my Sphynx came with, he has ulcers all over his tongue and lips (Trust me, it's not pretty), all his teeth are growing in crooked. He has to have two teeth extracted (The fangs are the worst, they are crooked and very abnormal/extra long). How terribly sick this Sphynx is and has been, my vet has doubts about the the shipping/flying causing herpes/health issues. Susan says she's going to help me get through this hard time with me.. really? Are you going to wave your magic wand and pay for my vet bills or refund me my money? No. I don't need support. All I wanted was a healthy cat which I should of got with the amount of money I paid. There is no point in getting this Sphynx replaced so I've never pushed for it.. whats the point.. he's passed the herpes virus on to my other cats anyway. I would only be bringing another Sphynx in to basically get sick wow disaster at it's finest. It's a shame. I really love this breed/Sphynx, I was hoping to get one more Sphynx but I just can't do it now because he/she will most likely get sick too. It's just wrong what this breeder has done. I feel sorry for Maggie up above and myself. She has been victimized and treated like she's a crazy person for only speaking the truth about how deeply hurt she is for getting a cat with health issues. Some people just need to pull their head out of their behind and have some respect. I'm not arguing with this breeder like Maggie did. Waste of my time. I know Susan is only going to lie and sugarcoat to protect her business and make it seem like I'm some crazy person thats out to get her for no reason or to portray me as some stupid person and her cat was 100% healthy until it arrived at my house so it's out of her hands and alllll my fault and I'm just looking for someone to blame it on LOL ok right... I guess the cat being sick at the airport was just my imagination, lets blame it on the flying and the airport shall we, meanwhile she told me shipping doesn't cause any health issues... shame on her for lying. I have my doubts also. I just have this feeling this Sphynx was sick before he was even shipped. Just be very careful, especially if you have other cats in your home. I feel so guilty, my poor babies are sick because of me. I didn't do my homework, I figured I could trust Susan and now look. Maggie and I are not making up these stories for no reason. We have had a very bad experience with our cats. Susan's excuse for Maggie's disaster of experience is that her connection she had with another breeder and Maggie's cat wasn't even hers... which makes me wonder if it's just yet again, another sugarcoat, maybe? That however, is none of my business... all I know is that what is done is done. I will be paying out a lot on vet bills for a very long time now.
Protect, sugarcoat. Blame it on me, I must not know what I'm talking about or the flying caused the sickness or Victor arriving sick is a big mystery, he must of caught it from my other two cats which haven't been sick for many years until Victor arrived. I guess it's just one big mystery... lol...
I'm not arguing with Susan or anyone.

2 sick sphynx
We bought two sphynx from susan when we got the first one she showed up with ring worm and upper resp. and to our suprize when we got her pink slip to send in to reg her it came with some other breeders name and cattery on it.. I specifically bought from susan because i had belived she was a very reputable breeder we bought our sphynx with breeding rights but it wasnt even a cat from her cattery or even the kitten we had picked out. Our other sphynx from susan showed up with ring worm,tritrichomonas and had been actually shaved ,it was supose to be show quality but was more like a f2 or f3 thats why they shaved it lol. and was also not the kitten we picked out and again it came even shipped from a different breeder and cattery.. sending unhealthy animals to people is just wrong to begin with but to trick people into thinking they are getting a cat from your cattery but sending them someone elses kittens is beyond wrong.. Also when i couldnt find the pink slip i had asked susan for the paper work so i could send it in and she sent me some other cats papers with a different breeder and birthdate .. (I found the originals thank god)
When i went to susan to tell her how upset i was for being sent unhealthy cats she got extremly rude , wouldnt except responsibility and said she'd sue me because her husband is a lawyer.. sue me for telling you that you send me sick kittens and it went against your own contract? Umm that makes no sense..lol stay far far away from this rotten breeder and her afiliates trust me you dont want to go through the excitement for getting your new cat and then bam the horror of having a extremly ill kitten that is shaved and not from the persons cattery.. ohh i belive she eventually offered me a free breeding .. wow thanks susan your so great!!

Susan Capelli is Not Senza Capelli
Susan Capelli is a breeder in Saskatchewan, not to be confused with Dr. Susan of Senza Capelli. Sometimes things get very confusing on the internet.

Truth about Snowbald Sphynx
Isn't Carrie Hallem going under Valhalla SPhynx. She did this because she sold a whole cat to someone without the permission of the breeder who I think was Diane Hoover. That was why she was threatened to be sued. So then she got all bent out of shape and started trashing other breeders and especially Diane and her friend Susan. All breeders out there should be aware that if they ever send her a cat, she will sell it whole. She also tried to sell it under a different name, used someone elses name and put it on Hoobly. But the person who got the cat contacted the breeder and told them what she had done. So Carrie Hallum who is pretending to be Sma Van has a lot to hide.
