Perm home sought for alien-like Sphynx Sanya Borodach
Look at those eyes: Sanya Borodach is searching for a caring, permanent family through Murkot.
In July, we reported on a pack of feral Sphynx cats that lived in an abandoned building in Perm (Russia). Their former owners had left them there; the cats bred, and for lack of food were slowly dying. The hairless gang was rescued and brought to the Murkot shelter. Now one of the rescued Sphynx cats, Sanya Borodach — who looks like an alien — is being offered a new home.
Six emaciated Sphynx cats were trapped from the unsafe three‑story building over more than a week. The half‑rotted house had long since been vacated; the starving Sphynx cats lived there for several months and looked like walking skeletons. At the Murkot shelter, each hairless stray was nursed back to health and examined.
In recent months, four from the Sphynx pack have left the shelter for new owners.
A Sphynx mix, Sanya Borodach, is still living at Murkot. He, too, is seeking a new home. At the shelter they say this is a cat that looks like an alien.
«This unusual beauty isn’t just a cat — he’s an entire cosmos, — they said at the shelter. — Sanya Borodach is an incredibly charming cat with big ears and eyes full of mysteries! It’s as if he’s saying: “Take me home, Earthling, and reveal to me the secret of true happiness and tasty pâtés.”»

Borodach is a slightly timid cat, but like all Sphynx cats he is very drawn to people. He will love his person immeasurably. Sanya Borodach has a funny natural “haircut”: a fuzzy belly and paws, with a hairless back and head.
«Maybe Sanya just had a bad scan at the station, — the shelter jokes. — He has hilarious little ears and boundless love for you if you decide to give him a chance. He’ll be your personal alien — funny, kind, smart, and very much waiting for his person. And maybe you will become his favorite Earthling? Sanya will never grow into a big, burly cat; he’ll always be a mama’s little cuddle‑bug.»
The shelter adds that Sanya needs a home where individuality, laughter, and heartfelt warmth are valued.
Alien‑like Sanya is about three years old; he is neutered, vaccinated, uses a litter box with mineral filler, and eats only high‑quality dry and wet food.

Earlier, we reported that a very expensive Sphynx cat frightened its owner, who brought him from Lipetsk to the Perm shelter. Hector suffers from a short temper; the shelter believes the cat simply wasn’t fully treated.
