Sphynx General Information

Our kittens are raised as part of our family.  They are loved and socialized from the moment they are born.  Our queens and studs are members of our family.  They live and play in our home and are not caged.  We use cat trees, wicker baskets with heating pads or electric warming blankets, and sisal rope scratching posts.  The cat litter we use and recommend is Swheat Scoop natural litter.  Our cats are current on vaccinations and receive regular veterinary care.  Our Sphynx also share our home with our Great Dane and Chihuahua.

 

SHIPPING
We will ship a kitten to your local airport.  Shipping usually costs between $175 - $200 and includes airfare, carrier, bedding, health certificate and veterinary examination.  The shipping fee must be paid by the buyer.  Shipping is weather permitting according to the airlines.  Kittens are shipped clean, having had a fresh bath, nails trimmed and ears cleaned.  They are shipped in a brand new carrier with brand new bedding.
 

 

CONTRACTS
We do require that you sign a contract when you adopt a kitten from us.  This contract protects both us (the seller) and you (the buyer), but most importantly it protects the kitten.  It states what we have done and our commitment to the kitten, and what we would expect you to do for the continuation of his/her care.  A loving home is what we want for our kittens.  We are more than willing to e-mail or "snail" mail a contract to you for review.  You may also view and print this contract on-line.

RESERVING A KITTEN
When you choose which kitten you want to make part of your family, we require that a $300 non-refundable deposit be sent to reserve your kitten.  The deposit is then subtracted from the balance of the cost of the kitten.

 

PRICE
Our kitten prices range from $800 to $1200 for pet kittens.  Our show kittens are $1500.  Our prices include up to date vaccinations and deworming.  We test all our cats for FELV/FIV and guarantee your kitten to arrive negative for those diseases.  They also receive a thorough examination from our veterinarian.  We also give a one year health guarantee for congenital disease/defect.
 

WAITING LISTS
Kittens are reserved on a first come, first reserve basis.

 

LEAVING HOME
We allow our kittens to go to their new homes from 14 to 16 weeks of age.

CARE
Although Sphynx have no hair that requires grooming, they are not maintenance free.  They require bathing, on the average about once a week, with ear cleaning and nail clipping.  We are happy to answer any questions regarding cleaning and caring for your Sphynx.

ALLERGIES
We have found that most individuals with cat allergies can interact with Sphynx very well.  However, Sphynx are not "hypoallergenic".  If you have allergies, we recommend that you check out the Sphynx for yourself before you adopt to insure that you will be able to tolerate them.

BREEDING KITTENS
We are often asked about selling a "breeder" kitten.  We generally do not sell intact or "breeder" kittens.  On occasion, we will sell an intact kitten, but have a few rules about this because we have goals for the betterment of the sphynx breed.  We will consider selling an intact kitten if you are already registered with CFA or TICA and will be showing the kitten with at least one of those associations.
