All of our cats in the cattery are taken care of like family, we do not have cages or isolation for any of our cats (with the exception of birthing/newborn condos). The adult Sphynx cats in our care are imported directly from Europe, and trained as therapeutic service animals who volunteer in a mental health clinic. The bloodlines of our Sphynx cats are of exceptional quality, and all of our cats are health tested, DNA tested, and 100% guaranteed to be purebred Canadian Sphynx and healthy.
Our line of Sphynx kittens are known to be fun with kids, adorable snugglers, and exceptional companions. Your new Sphynx kitten will be handled by a qualified therapy support animal trainer, and will go home with excellent manners and a lovely personality!

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes! We offer lifetime support, our pet parents can reach out and our network of professionals will answer your questions quickly and efficiently. We also guarantee your new kitten will be healthy and of exceptional bloodlines and quality. All of our breeding cats go through a full panel of medical and psychological testing. Sphynx cats can be genetically prone to certain diseases such as HCM (heart failure) there is no known cure or cause but it is important for pet parents to be aware of the risks of owning this breed. Sphynx cats can also be sensitive to cold and stress causing a temporary case of the sniffles or shivering.
Our kittens are an investment of $2300 CDN, however, this can also depend on the unique qualities of the kitten, and if they have additional training as an emotional support animal. We do offer flexible payment plans and will try to fit within the budget of approved homes. Our application process involves an in depth (in person or virtual) interview and educational session to ensure the potential new parents are a good fit for this special breed.
The kittens will be 12-14 weeks old when they are ready to leave the cattery, this gives us ample time to have all of the medical and emotional needs of the kittens met. All of our kittens will be registered with TICA or CFA, and hold purebred pedigrees.
Yes, the kittens will have had a wellness exam (including heart and respiratory check), vaccines, and dewormer before they come home. Your kitten will come with a record of all of the visits they have had to the veterinarian, and we are here to make sure the babies are sound and healthy before they are delivered to their new homes!
Sphynx cats do require different care than a haired cat. Because of their naked skin, Sphynx cats produce a protective layer of body oils. The amount of oil depends on the cat, if they are sterilized, and if they are happy or stressed. Typically a sphynx from our lineage requires a monthly bath (unless visibly dirty) and we recommend weekly nail and ear care. We bathe our Sphynx cats in CeraVe foaming facial cleanser, clean the inside of the ears with cotton balls moistened with cat safe ear cleaning solution, and qtips (getting the visible ear wax, not digging in the ear). Lastly, extending the claws and wiping the nail bed of oils and dirt with a baby wipe and if needed a nail trim. Sphynx cats also require a warm home, heating pads and clothing to keep them warm and fuzzy and to avoid getting the sniffles from getting to cold.
Sphynx cats from our line are accustomed to wearing clothes on cold days, if they go out of the house, on a grand adventure, or if they have visitors coming over. We let them roam completely naked around the house any of the other days. It is the owners preference if they have little nudists or 50/50 like we do, however it is important not to let them sleep overnight or unattended in their clothes.
Be the first to hear about new litters, availability, and helpful pet advice.
I am a member in good standing of The International Cat Association, Inc. (TICA) and have a TICA-registered cattery. I will breed discriminately, and only if I can find appropriate homes for my kittens. I will place kittens only in homes that I believe will provide a life-long commitment of love, appreciation, and responsible care. Any kitten or cat sold as a pet/companion will be sold under the following conditions:
1. I will guarantee that the kitten/cat is in good health at the time of sale.
2. I will urge the purchaser to have the kitten/cat examined by the purchaser's own veterinarian within a few days of purchase to confirm its good health.
3. I will explain to the purchaser the dangers of an outdoor environment.
4. I will provide a written sales agreement that describes all the terms of the sale. I will abide by my own sales agreement.
5. I will spay/neuter every kitten/cat prior to leaving the cattery. If this should not be possible, I will require that the kitten be spayed or neutered no later than 12 months of age and not be allowed to produce any offspring. I will provide the TICA registration certificate and/or pedigree for the kitten/cat only after I have received written evidence from a licensed veterinarian that the kitten/cat has been altered.
6. I will not release a kitten until it has been inoculated at least once against the following: Panleukopenia, Feline Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus. I also may choose to give other vaccinations.
