Care Tips

While it may appear that Sphynxes require no care at all- they actually require more care then the typical domestic cat!

Due to their lack of fur, their skin tends to pick up every piece of dust and dirt found in your home- even in the cleanliest of environments! Therefore, we recommend you either familiarize your kitten with the bathtub immediately upon bringing him/her home (within the first week or two of your new life together) or you invest in pet wipes found at Petsmart/Petco.

Also, you will want to clean your Sphynx's ears out on a regular basis. Otherwise, the waxy build-up will become rather unattractive.

While some breeders feel strongly in regard to declawing, we believe that the new owners must do what is best for their family, on a case-by-case basis. We do ask that our new owners approach their new kitten with an opened mind and attempt using scratching posts and other appropriate methods of curtailing destructive clawing (such as Soft Paws- link on the 'links' page) before deciding to permanently declaw their kitten.

99.9 percent of our kittens are sold under a spay/neuter contract. If your baby is one of the majority, you will need to have him/her fixed by the time they are 6 months of age. Not only will this prevent the chance of unwanted offspring being born, it also will prevent your cat from developing ovarian or testicular cancer as he/she ages. Typically, vets will spay/neuter kittens when they are 3 pounds- ask your vet when he/she recommends fixing your baby and please remember to get this important surgery done!
