4) At IconicSX, we prioritise the well-being of our beloved Sphynx kittens and we are committed to ethical breeding practices. Due to this, all of our kittens go spayed/neutered to their new owners. Kittens rely on the environment they are exposed to in order to build their immunity and get adapted to their surroundings. This can cause stress and break down their immune systems, leaving them vulnerable to disease, if spayed or neutered in their new owner's home. You can read more here here
5) Our kittens leave for their forever homes from the age of 16 weeks old. This allows them to have the much-needed socialization, vaccination, and nurturing from mum and littermates before going to their various homes. The wait until this age enables us to ensure that our kittens are very well adjusted, confident, and emotionally ready for their new environments.
