Indoors with a secure enclosure
Indoors with supervised outdoor time
Allowed outdoors freely
Sphynx Breed Knowledge & Care
Sphynx cats produce heavy skin oils and ear wax. How often are you prepared to bathe them and clean their ears/claws?
Weekly to fortnightly
Only when they look visibly dirty
I was unaware they required regular bathing
Due to having no fur, Sphynx cats are highly vulnerable to harsh Australian winters and summer sunburn. Does your home have adequate climate control?

Yes, heating only
Yes, cooling only
No climate control
If required, are you able to accommodate potential future specialist care or cardiac scan costs?
Yes, I am financially prepared to self-fund future specialist care
Yes, I intend to secure Pet Insurance

  • While many Sphynx cats live happy, healthy lives, the breed can have an increased risk of conditions like Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), allergies or food sensitivities.
