Guide before buying a kitten / cat
Before you decide to bring a Sphynx kitten or adult cat into your home, it’s important to be fully prepared. Owning a cat is a commitment that can last up to 20 years, so think about if you are really ready for this responsibility.
When looking for a Sphynx kitten, you might see many pictures online that do not really show the breed. Be careful with these listings, as many of these kittens do not have proper backgrounds, and their parents may not have had important health checks. To make sure your future kitten is healthy and well-bred, it’s best to look for breeders who can give proof of their cats’ backgrounds. Find out how to spot bad or backyard breeders here.
Important documents include health certifications, such as DNA and health test results for the parents, along with a sale contract. When buying a Sphynx kitten, watch for signs of good health: a healthy kitten should not have sticky eyes or a runny nose and should be clean under the tail. You might also ask for the transfer slip or registration documents for the kitten, as this verifies that you’re purchasing a pedigree kitten.
Reputable breeders raise kittens in comfortable conditions, providing high-quality food and excellent veterinary care. They also allow kittens to stay with their mother and siblings until they are at least 16 weeks of age. Reputable breeders also neuter/spay their kitten before they are ready to go the their forever homes ( read why here). This period is very crucial for kittens in terms of learning social skills, developing a sound personality, and improving their immunity status before going to new owners, particularly those who will be leaving the kitten alone during the day.
Before bringing home a Sphynx kitten, you should be aware that good breeders will not rush to send kittens to new homes; instead, they will thoughtfully screen potential adopters and place their kittens only with families who will provide love and care. And it is also important that you make a careful decision without rushing.
Bringing home a Sphynx kitten may require some preparation and adjustment. Discussion among family members may be in the best interest, as bringing a kitten into one's life is usually a long-term commitment. On the arrival of this new companion, he/she may feel anxious or lost, so secure him/her to the best of your ability.
