History and Origins

The Sphynx cat, known for its striking appearance devoid of fur, traces its origins back to the 1960s in Canada, resulting from a natural genetic mutation. This breed's history is a testament to the diversity within the feline world, offering insights into the evolution of domestic cats. Sphynx cats have captivated hearts with their distinct looks and have become a symbol of unique beauty in the pet world, appealing to cat enthusiasts seeking an extraordinary companion.

Personality

Sphynx cats are renowned for their extroverted and affectionate nature, making them perfect companions for families and individuals alike. Their curious demeanor and intelligence lead to playful interactions, and they thrive on human attention. The warmth of their skin and their tendency to seek out coziness reflect their sociable and loving personality, making them not just pets but integral family members who share a deep bond with their owners.

Nutrition and Feeding

Proper nutrition is crucial for maintaining the health and energy of a Sphynx cat. Their diet should be rich in high-quality proteins to support their metabolism and overall well-being. Given their lack of fur, Sphynx cats may require more calories than their furry counterparts to regulate body temperature. Consulting with a veterinarian to tailor a feeding plan ensures that your Sphynx cat receives all the necessary nutrients for a balanced di

Grooming and Care

Despite their lack of fur, Sphynx cats require meticulous grooming to manage their skin health. Regular bathing is essential to remove oil buildup and prevent skin issues. Careful attention to their ears and nails ensures that these sensitive areas remain clean and healthy. Establishing a grooming routine not only keeps your Sphynx cat in top condition but also strengthens your bond through these intimate care moments.

Specific Needs

Sphynx cats' unique physiology necessitates special care considerations. Their exposed skin makes them susceptible to temperature extremes, requiring a warm environment or clothing to maintain body heat. Sun exposure poses risks of sunburn, emphasizing the need for protective measures when enjoying sunlight. Awareness and accommodation of these specific needs are key to ensuring a healthy and comfortable life for your Sphynx cat.

Training

Sphynx cats are highly intelligent and trainable, capable of learning a variety of commands and tricks. Positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats and praise, effectively encourage good behavior and facilitate bonding. Their keenness to interact and please their owners makes training sessions not only possible but also enjoyable and rewarding for both the cat and the trainer

Need to Know

Before welcoming a Sphynx cat into your home, it's crucial to understand their unique health and environmental needs. Due to their lack of fur, Sphynx cats are prone to skin issues and sensitivity to cold and sun. They require a warm, indoor environment, and their skin needs regular cleaning to prevent oil buildup. Additionally, consider their sociable nature; they thrive on interaction and may not suit a home where they'll be left alone for long periods. Preparing for these aspects ensures a happy, healthy life for your Sphynx.

Purebred Kitties made the adoption process so easy. I never felt like I was in the dark at any point, which I found so helpful. Alona was genuine, kind, and answered all of my questions in a timely manor. I really appreciate everyone's help in bringing our new baby home, he's loved so much already!

I am so impressed! Instant clarification, communication, compassion. Video calls offered to assure that this company is not a scam. Caring consultants connect breeder with buyers making the middle person a fast facilitator of the transaction and steps.

Purebredkitties is a class outfit. They made the transaction easy and worry free. Adoption specialst Kim A worked tirelessly to address issues on my behalf. Even responded to me in an e- mail at 3 am her time. :o) This interaction has been an exceptionally rewarding experience

Communication is great. We were able to FaceTime with our baby pay by credit card, and when we want to pick her up, she was exactly as we expected. Only in our house two days and she’s already doing wonderfully with the family! It would be nice if for the cost the pedigree papers were included as many breeders do this the additional cost for these was hundreds of dollars and since she was arriving spayed we didn’t feel the need to pay the additional money. As my title says it’s expensive, but it was worth it the quality And size of this kitten is amazing.

The entire adoption process between myself and this wonderful team was amazing. I am being a loving new pet mom to a beautiful kitten that I named Princess. I intend to adopt another one in the future with Maria again. I am over the moon happy. Thank you guys so much

Sphynx mom of 4. I have 4 Sphynx kittys from Maria at purebredkitties.com love them all - she's amazing to work with

The entire process to get our fluffy bundle of joy was stellar. Maria is super sweet and was so helpful in answering any and all of our questions. I love how the health of the cat is taken seriously throughout the process, ours just came in with some minor sniffles (but were pretty sure that's from traveling through the airport and it was quickly/easily cured). On top of all that, the video call we had to meet our little guy before we bought him was a great way to get an small sneak peak at his personality and reinforce that we were making the right choice. I'm recommending Purebred Kitties to any of my friends looking to get their own Maine Coon.

Just got my second Sphynx from purebred kitties, as my first experience was perfect and without issue. My second experience was just as good as the first. I love both of my cats to death, they have the best personalities, both are healthy, and absolutely adorable.
