Does this breed require special care?

Yes, in addition to nail trimming, they will need a bath and frequent ear cleaning. With this breed there is not enough hair to absorb the normal oil secretions from the skin making bathing a must. We recommend bathing your Sphynx 1 -2 times per month.

I am allergic to cats. Will this breed be right for me?

It is really hard to say; everyone reacts differently. Personally, I am allergic to cats but this breed does not cause an allergic reaction in me. I highly suggest that you take a "snuggle test" to be sure before purchasing a Sphynx. There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic cat. If you are in the area, please call and make an appointment to visit to check your personal reaction.

What can you tell me about their personality?

To know one is to love one. Sphynx are human seeking cats. By this I mean, they love to interact with humans by "talking," playing and always wanting to be by your side. Chances are, they will even sleep with you, snuggling down under the blankets, content and happy. If you are looking for a cat that requires little attention, this breed is not for you.

What does this type of cat feel like?

To the touch, this cat feels similar to a warm peach or soft suede.
