Category: Buying a kitten

Buying a Sphynx kitten is a slower process than most first-time buyers expect, and that is a good sign. These guides cover how to find a registered breeder, what health testing to insist on (annual hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) echocardiograms of the parents above all), what a sound contract and health guarantee include, what desexing and registration paperwork should be provided, and the red flags that mark a kitten mill or a scam — no cattery visit, no video call, payment by gift card, a kitten “available today”. We also cover the questions good breeders like being asked, why waiting lists exist, and how to budget for routine vaccinations and preventative care so the fun part is not derailed. Written from the breeder side of the table.
