Sphynx Cats in Los Angeles: Choosing Between Canadian, Elf and Bambino
The Canadian Sphynx is the recognized breed: wrinkled, muscular and long-legged with large, open ears. The Elf adds curled-back ears from the American Curl, and the Bambino adds short legs from the Munchkin; both are newer crosses not yet championship breeds with the major registries. All three share the same warm, people-loving temperament and the same skin-care routine.

FAQs
The Canadian Sphynx is the original recognized breed. Elf types have curled ears from the American Curl, and Bambinos have short legs from the Munchkin.
Is LA sunshine safe for a hairless cat?
Short periods are fine, but long exposure can burn. Do not use human sunscreen; ask your vet about safe options.
Can I meet the kitten before adopting?
Yes. You can schedule a live video call to see your kitten's personality before you commit.
How does delivery to Los Angeles work?
You can pick up in person, choose air cargo, or book a flight nanny who travels in the cabin with your kitten to LAX, Burbank or another airport you prefer.
Are hairless cats good for allergies?
Not reliably. They still produce the Fel d 1 allergen in saliva and skin, so spend time with one first.

Adopting our new kitten from Purebred Kitties was a wonderful experience. The process was smooth and clear, leaving no room for confusion. Alona's kindness and genuine care shone through as she promptly answered all my questions. Thanks to the whole team, our new furry family member is now home and already cherished beyond words!

Purebredkitties has been absolutely wonderful. They made everything so easy and stress-free. Adoption specialist Kim A was fantastic, always going the extra mile to help me. She even responded to my email at 3 am her time! 😊 This whole experience has been truly heartwarming and rewarding.

Our experience with Purebredkitties was wonderful! Communication was great, and we even got to FaceTime with our kitten before bringing her home. She was exactly as we expected and is already doing great with our family after just two days. One small note is that pedigree papers weren't included and cost extra, which was a bit pricey since she arrived spayed. Overall, even though it was expensive, it was worth it. The quality and size of our kitten are amazing!

The whole experience of adopting a pet with this fantastic team has been nothing short of wonderful. Now, I have the joy of being a devoted pet mom to a gorgeous kitten I named Princess. I'm already looking forward to adopting another fur baby with Maria's help in the future. I'm absolutely thrilled and can't thank you all enough!

The whole journey to bring our fluffy bundle of joy home was fantastic. Maria is incredibly kind and always ready to answer all our questions. I really appreciate how seriously they take the health of the cats. Our kitten arrived with a minor case of the sniffles, likely from the airport travel, but it was easily and quickly resolved. Plus, the video call we had to meet our little guy beforehand was a wonderful way to get a glimpse of his personality and feel confident in our decision. I'm definitely recommending Purebred Kitties to all my friends who are looking to get their own Maine Coon.
