Breeding Practices
Purradox Sphynxery stands out from other breeders due to a strong commitment to ethical breeding, health testing, and personalized care. Here are the key factors that set us apart:
1. Rigorous Health Screening
- All breeding cats are HCMDNA tested and screened annually for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy by a certified cardiologist. They are also tested for FIV/FeLV and undergo comprehensive genetic testing through Wisdom Optimal Selection to ensure they are free from genetic disorders.
- I prioritize the health of both breeding cats and kittens with regular veterinary checks and a focus on preventative care.
2. Early Spay/Neuter and Health Guarantees
- I practice early spay/neuter to prevent unwanted litters and promote healthier kittens. Each kitten goes home spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed.
- My kittens come with a health certificate, veterinary paperwork, and health guarantees, ensuring they are in peak condition before joining their new families.
3. Focus on Socialization and Temperament
- I put a strong emphasis on early socialization, handling kittens daily and exposing them to household sounds, other cats, and small dogs. This results in well-adjusted kittens with excellent temperaments.
- Each kitten is trained in a regular litterbox before transitioning to a Litter Robot, giving them the flexibility to adapt to any litter system in their new homes.
4. Ethical Breeding Practices
- I follow strict ethical breeding practices, limiting the number of litters per cat to once a year to ensure their health and well-being.
- My focus is on maintaining the integrity of the breed while prioritizing health, temperament, and socialization.
5. Comprehensive Kitten Care Package
- Kittens are sent home with a goody bag that includes a sample of food, an outfit, toys, and a cozy blanket. This helps them transition smoothly to their new homes with familiar scents and comforts.
- I provide training and behavior support after adoption, assisting with litter training, behavior correction, and socialization as needed.
6. Commitment to Rescue and Community
- For every Sphynx adoption, I donate $100 to my 501c3 cat rescue, Hearts To Homes, supporting cats in need with food, medical supplies, and spay/neuter expenses.
- If a Sphynx adopter chooses to adopt a companion cat from Hearts To Homes at the same time, I cover the rescue cat’s adoption fee. This reflects my dedication to the feline community and helping all cats find loving homes.
7. Transparent and Educational Approach
- I take pride in educating potential adopters, providing a wealth of information about Sphynx, Elf, Bambino, and Dwelf care. I aim to create a community of knowledgeable owners who understand the unique needs of hairless cats.
- My website features detailed blog posts, FAQs, and resources to support current and future owners.
This combination of rigorous health standards, ethical breeding, comprehensive support, and community involvement makes Purradox Sphynxery a trusted and unique choice for those seeking a Sphynx or related hairless breed.
