Sphynx are extroverted, warm-seeking and very people-focused — they tend to follow you around, sleep under the covers and do poorly when left alone for long stretches. They are energetic and playful well into adulthood.
Health testing. HCM is a significant concern in the breed. Ask for recent echocardiograms on both parents performed by a veterinary cardiologist (ideally repeated yearly), not just a stethoscope check, and for a DNA test for congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS).
Coat care. No coat does not mean no grooming: skin oils build up, so most need a bath or wipe-down every week or two, plus regular ear and nail-bed cleaning. They chill easily and can sunburn, so plan for a warm home and indoor living.
Typical price. Pet-home Sphynx kittens from registered US breeders usually cost about $1,800–$4,000; breeding rights, show prospects and rare colors cost more. A price far below that range is a common scam signal.

Before you pay a deposit: Ask for the parents' cardiologist echo reports with dates, and be wary of very low prices or 'rescue fees' for Sphynx kittens: they are a frequent scam target. On PurrTrust every cattery's identity and TICA/CFA registration is checked before it can list, you meet the kitten on a live video check-in first, and deposits are paid through the platform — never by Zelle, gift card, wire or crypto. Our scam guide covers the warning signs.
