iADORE SPHYNX CATS
KITTENS -- SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILS
WE ARE HAVING A BREAK FROM BREEDING AT THE MOMENT.
Welcome to iadore Sphynx Cattery, located in the Central West of New South Wales.
We are a small, home based cattery registered with ANCATS (Australian National Cat Society) and as such we are bound by their rules regarding the breeding and housing of our cats. Our Sphynx live inside our home and our kittens are raised with lots of love and attention. Our queens are limited in the number of litters they have per year to ensure their, and their kittens optimum health and welfare. We have been breeding Sphynx for over 20 years and pride ourselves on breeding the best Sphynx we can.
Sphynx are the most wonderful, playful cats and make fantastic active family members, wanting to be involved in everything you are doing. A Sphynx is quite likely to be found under your doona, behind a cushion or on top of a nice warm human or dog. They are highly intelligent and highly inquisitive. They interact well with other cats as well as dogs and other pets. They are not high maintenance cats, needing only a wipe with a damp cloth or a bath once a week. Being almost hairless, they are prone to sunburn and therefore are indoor cats only. They do enjoy access to an secure outdoor run, but is needs to have shade cloth or similar over it to protect the Sphynx skin. In winter, a warm coat, heater or heat source is a must. (See below on how to make your own cat coat.)
Purchasing a kitten
All kittens are sold with a non-negotiable sales contract. A deposit is required if you would like to hold a kitten.
Kittens are sold vaccinated, vet checked, microchipped, registered with ANCATS, regularly wormed, well socialised and desexed. Kittens leave here with a 6 week pet insurance policy with Pet Plan and we recommend all Sphynx babies continue with pet insurance for your own peace of mind.
We are happy to send our babies interstate, if that is possible at the time. If a kitten is going interstate, a new airline approved travel crate (which you keep) will be supplied for around $50.00. Our prefix is Iadore and this means your kittens registered name will be iadore -------- . If you buy your kitten before he or she is named, you can work with me to choose your kitten's name.
We do not export, we do not sell to pet shops and we do not sell kittens or cats until they are desexed.
We do not sell entire cats for breeding so please don't ask.
Sphynx Health
Our Sphynx are, to the best of our knowledge, clear of common cat illnesses and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) - BUT current testing only tells you if your cat is clear at the time of assessment, not whether your cat or kitten may develop HCM in the future.
Cardiomyopathy may be genetic but as current researchers and vets cannot find a gene or specific cause for it in the majority of cats of any breed, we cannot be expected to predict where HCM might turn up.
EXCITING NEWS- a gene has been located which may detect 60% of HCM in Spynx. A test being developed 🎉🎉🎉
It is also believed that HCM may be the result of an illness such as a viral infection setting off the problem in a cat which is genetically predisposed.
Until they find the genes responsible, No breeder or vet can guarantee that any cat or kitten will not develop a cardiomyopathy or other illness in the future. Breeders may do annual or more frequent tests on their cats but this does not mean your kitten will not develop this disorder in the future. Breeders who claim otherwise are wrong.
All our breeding stock have very specific medical examinations and all kittens have thorough veterinary health checks. Issues such as inheritable disorders or potential HCM are covered in our contract.

HOW TO MAKE Cat coats for your kittens and older cats.
As a breeder of hairless cats I need to keep the babies warm, especially when they are travelling and flying interstate.
I have worked out a way to make very inexpensive and great fitting cat coats without sewing, and I have put the video on you tube so you can learn how - (see the link at right).
These coats are also great for smaller dogs, and especially dachshunds which require the longer length in coats.
