2010 SPHYNX CALENDAR - SPHYNX KALENDER 2010 - CALENDARIO SPHYNX 2010 - LE CALENDRIER SPHYNX 2010
Italiano (translation by Marina Nunzi)
Update on March 3rd, 2010: A large sum has already been donated to the foundation (see letter below) and more will follow when all the proceeds from America have been gathered. A part of the already donated money (60 Euros) comes from a different project than the calendar: the HCM lose-weight-race ;) A couple of ladies on a forum
who wanted to lose weight found some sponsors who donated 2 Euros for every kilo lost. The ladies themselves put in 2 Euros for every kilo gained...
Just like before all proceeds will be donated to the Winn Feline Foundation. They support HCM research
in different cat breeds, and also a specific research in Sphynxes. As soon as a DNA test can be developed, breeders and owners will not have to
have their cats scanned annually. One single test in a life time will be sufficient then. And there will be more knowledge about the breeding stock
and their offspring. But before that day arrives, a lot of work has to be done. Blood samples of positively scanned animals are also very welcome,
they will help chart the problem: Article in the Sphynx Newsletter For more information, please click here: Winn Feline Foundation
On the calendar pages of 2008 and 2009, you can read up on the amounts that were collected. You can also see the pictures of the past calendars.
