Caring for a Sphynx cat is a truly unique experience. These extraordinary hairless cats require a little more hands-on care than their furry cousins—but the reward is a deeper bond and a healthier, happier feline companion. Whether you’re a first-time Sphynx owner or a returning adopter, this section offers expert advice on every aspect of Sphynx care.
At Purradox Sphynxery, we raise every kitten with care routines that support long-term health and ease the transition into your home. Our blog posts in this category cover all the essentials, including how often to bathe your Sphynx, best ear-cleaning techniques, recommended diet, litter training methods, and how to keep your cat warm and clean without overdoing it.
You’ll also find product recommendations, step-by-step how-tos, and answers to common questions like, “Do Sphynx cats need sweaters?” and “How do I clean their skin safely?”

A high-quality diet is essential. Our kittens are weaned onto Hill’s Science Diet and are offered both wet and dry food. Look for food rich in protein, omega-3s, and low in fillers. Visit our Nutrition Guide for more details.
Yes, especially as kittens. We start with non-clumping litter to avoid ingestion, then transition to clumping litter and eventually the Litter-Robot once they’re big enough. Learn more in our Litter Training Guide.
