Do Las Vegas pet stores sell Sphynx (hairless cats)?

And if so, which ones and where are they located. I'd really appreciate the help, thanks!
Okay and please no more shit about how I need to get one from a breeder, I've tried and they all want over 1,000 for a cat that will be a pet! Not only that their are none in the area and I don't want to ship the poor cat. I know a lot about the breed and I've taken care of them before so please don't assume i'm stupid, I'm not. Thank you.
*sigh* No more pet mill crap okay? I get it, but I've seen pet stores in Mississippi that sell them, so obviously not all shop are like that. Just answer if you know, and if you don't, then don't give me crap. It's as easy as that.

Immortal,

Please do not purchase any cat from a pet shop.While it may be "convenient" it is not the safest or best way to get a cat. Most of their stock comes from kitten mills where "breeders" breed to make money. Often these cats are not as healthy as kittens purchased from a reputable breeder. Additionally you will not know who the breeder is, so if any health problems arise, you will not be able to contact the breeder for suggestions or any information about the genetic lines.

If the Sphynx is your cup of tea, take the time to find a reputable breeder in your area, or one who will be able to transport one to you. That way you have direct contact with the breeder who should be able to help you with any questions.

Additionally this breed requires extra care. One may think that because they are "hairless" they will not require grooming but due to the fact that they don't have "fur" but only have a cover of fuzz, there is no way for the excess oils in the coat to be absorbed, so they need to be bathed weekly. Their dispositions are particularly sweet, and fun to cuddle with on cold nights, as their body temperature of 101.5 is right on the surface so they are warm to the touch. They do require protection from drafts and the cold, however.

You might want to check the petfinder breed list for adoptions available in your area, and check the purebred Sphynx rescue groups.
