Hairlessness itself is not a health problem, but the Sphynx and Donskoy breeds do carry risks worth understanding before and after you buy. These guides explain hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) — why annual echocardiograms by a cardiologist matter, what a scan does and does not prove, and what to ask a breeder for — along with the skin, ear, dental and digestive issues hairless cats see more often, respiratory and temperature sensitivities, realistic lifespan, and the routine vaccinations and preventative treatments to keep budgeted for. We write about what we test, screen and repeat in our own cattery, and about how to read a health guarantee. None of it replaces your own veterinarian: it is here so you can ask better questions when you are in the consulting room.
