Bathing
A gentle bath every 1-2 weeks with fragrance-free pet shampoo. Warm water, quick rinse, straight into a towel. Full walkthrough in our bath time guide.
Ears & nails
Weekly ear wipe with a vet-approved cleaner and a nail trim every couple of weeks. Takes five minutes with treats on standby.
Warmth & sun
Sphynx love Florida warmth but can sunburn through windows. Cozy beds, blankets and shade options keep them happy.
Feeding
High-protein quality food, slightly bigger portions than furred cats. We send our exact feeding plan with every kitten.
Vet care
Yearly checkups with attention to heart health. Choosing a kitten from health-tested parents is 90% of the battle.
Company
Sphynx hate being alone. If your home is empty all day, consider two. They entertain each other and double the fun.
Questions families ask us 💬
Are Sphynx cats hypoallergenic?
No cat is 100% hypoallergenic. Sphynx cats produce the same Fel d 1 protein, but many allergy-sensitive families report milder reactions. We recommend a visit first: spend 30 minutes with our cats and see how you feel.
How often do Sphynx cats need a bath?
Every 1-2 weeks is plenty for most Sphynx cats. Bathing too often dries the skin and makes oil build-up worse.
Do Sphynx cats get cold in air conditioning?
They love warmth. In Florida AC they will find sunny windowsills, blankets and your lap. A soft sweater helps in colder rooms, and most Sphynx sleep under the covers.
What do Sphynx cats eat?
A high-quality, protein-rich diet. Sphynx have fast metabolisms and eat a bit more than furred cats. We send our exact feeding plan home with every kitten.
Why is Sphynx life expectancy sometimes listed as low?
A well-bred Sphynx from health-tested parents typically lives 12-16 years. Poor breeding, especially around heart health (HCM), is what drags averages down. That is exactly why choosing a responsible cattery matters.
