Kittens will only go to approved homes.

 

Fuzzoff Sphynx currently have 2 litters however they are allocated to people already on the waiting list.

All kittens will be DNA tested if both parents are not negative for the Sphynx HCM gene.

 

We do not have kittens sitting here waiting on homes.

The only way to obtain a kitten from us is to apply to be on the waiting list.

Sphynx are a special breed and are not suited for everyone/everyone does not suit a Sphynx.

We want our kittens to go to the very best forever homes.

To be considered for a kitten, please email with detailed information on what kind of home situation you can offer one of our treasured kittens, what human and furred family members you already have, etc.

Potential new slaves for our kittens will be very carefully screened!

 

Dr Kate Meurs of North Carolina State University, USA,  has recently (September 2020)  discovered one gene responsible for increasing a Sphynx’s risk for developing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy

The identified gene is responsible for 60% of the genetic cause of HCM in Sphynx.

A DNA test has been available since January 2021 worldwide to all Sphynx breeders and owners, with the samples being processed in the USA.

I have received results for my cats, as mentioned on the Breeding Cats page.

Please be certain to purchase any potential Sphynx kitten from a reputable breeder who annually scans their Sphynx cats (breeding/retired/pet) for HCM (through a specialist veterinary hospital) and who is also testing with the new DNA test through North Carolina University, USA.

This is our best chance to help the heart health of this breed.

Save yourself the heartache of purchasing a Sphynx at high risk of developing HCM, and support those of us who are striving to make a difference to increase the health of this amazing breed.
