🐈 Sphynx

Meet the Sphynx

Sphynx cats are affectionate, social, and famously fond of warmth. Without a coat to soak up oils, their skin needs regular gentle bathing, and they love to snuggle under blankets. In return you get a devoted, playful companion.

Outgoing, loving, and a little mischievous. Sphynx cats crave warmth and closeness with their people.

Your first 30 days together

These breed aware tips sit on top of the core plan. Follow them alongside your day by day guide for the smoothest possible start.

• Keep the home warm and offer cosy blankets
• Start a gentle weekly bath routine early
• Wipe the skin folds and ears to manage oils
• Provide plenty of play and lap time
• Protect that bare skin from direct sun and cold

Grooming and coat care

A weekly warm bath keeps the skin healthy, since there is no coat to absorb natural oils. Clean ears and nails regularly.

Health notes to keep in mind

Share these with your vet at the first visit. They are common points for the breed, not a diagnosis, and your vet is always the best guide for your individual pet.

• Keep your Sphynx warm, as they chill easily
• Bathe gently each week to care for the skin
• Ask your vet about heart screening for the breed
