This is in no way meant to be rude or degrading to anyone, but if you cannot afford to buy a Sphynx and are looking for a free one, you probably should not own one. This breed of cat is very expensive to own. As TICA Registered Breeders/Catteries, we put a lot of time and money into our cats/litters. We feed them high quality food, make sure they are vetted. We plan breeding to make sure we get specific colors or bloodlines. We scan our queens and kings for HCM. They are seen by board certified cardiologists. If they fail, we cannot breed them. We have taken a financial loss and they are now members of the family that live their days out, until the end. They still get quality care. They are spayed or neutered. We would not think of them going to anyone, and passing on that responsibility. All of our kittens are spayed and neutered before going to their new homes. This ensures our lines stay strong and hopefully, heart disease free. We get them their shots as required by age. We only give breeding rights to a select few, who are TICA Registered Catteries and understand the breed. I have seen numerous people looking for Sphynx cats or kittens under $500. If you find one, it’s either a scam or there is something wrong with it. Please do your research and then if you can financially afford one, look for a registered breeder, though they may not give you registration papers, to insure they stay pets only and not breeders. Ask to see a negative heart scan of the parents. Again, this is not meant to offend anyone.
