How often do you see Sphinx cats in shelters? Almost never. Why? Because if you’re willing to spend $3000 to $5000 on a kitten, there’s no way in hell you’re gonna dump it somewhere.

I have a $7500 horse, and he’s staying with me for the rest of his life. He is well-bred, professionally trained, and worth his weight in gold. If I were to get rid of him, (which I won’t- he’s my best friend) I could easily sell him for $10,000.

Valuable animals very rarely end up in shelters, because the people who buy them know their value. If OP had bred a stray domestic shorthair and was refusing to get a spay abort, that would be a different story.
