SPHYNX?

   At first sight the Sphynx cat or Sphynx kitten might look like a child’s experiment with a bottle of Nair, but the fact is Sphynx kittens are just born that way. The Sphynx is a hairless cat, a natural mutation, going back as early as the 1830’s. (check out our Sphynx History page).

   The fact that the Sphynx is a hairless cat is only a small part of why we are Sphynx breeders. Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens have very unique personalities. I really do not consider myself an owner of Sphynx cats, because really, my Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens own me! Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens love their owners unconditionally.

   At Barecats, we have been Sphynx breeders for over seven years now. We do not breed any other cat only the Sphynx, also referred to as the hairless cat or hairless kitten. As Sphynx breeders we breed for health, first and foremost. Our Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens have been delightful addition to our home.

We have Sphynx kittens that are red, blue, black, cream, bi-color, tortoiseshell, calico’s, color points, minks, and also sepia’s.  Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens can also have a variety of eye colors including, gold, green, amber, blue and aqua. I personally like all colors of Sphynx kittens. I can say that pictures do not always give them the justice they deserve. The Sphynx cat and Sphynx kittens are very unique and intriguing and really beautiful in person. Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens usually feel very different than one would expect. Most Sphynx cats are very soft, and some have more of a ‘squeaky clean’ feeling. Most people expect a really oily feel, but when you have a clean Sphynx cat or Sphynx kitten this is not the case. The Sphynx cat is not maintenance free. Since the Sphynx is a hairless cat, they need a bath about once a week. Here at our house bath day is usually on the weekend. Although most cats do not like water at all, these hairless cats tend to do very well with a bath. (see our Sphynx Care page).

   As Sphynx breeders we feel it is important to raise our Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens in our home as our pets first. At Barecats Sphynx, our Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens are all a part of our family and are very well socialized and are pretty much pre-spoiled before going to their new homes.

Because the Sphynx are hairless cats, they must also be raised in a fairly warm environment, especially as young Sphynx kittens. We have plenty of nice warm beds for all of our Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens.
