Sphynx cats may be hairless, but they are anything but plain. From inky black skin to vibrant tortoiseshells and rare odd-eyed beauties, Sphynx cats come in a stunning range of colors, patterns, and eye types. In this category, we explore the genetic artistry behind these eye-catching felines and what makes each one so special.
At Purradox Sphynxery, we breed a diverse palette of Sphynx cats in black, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, tortie, dilute tortie, chocolate tortie, calico, and tabby. You’ll also find patterns such as bicolor, solid, harlequin, and the occasional ghost tabby. We even work with DBE (Dominant Blue Eye) and odd-eyed cats—traits that make kittens in our Elite Program highly sought after.
In this section, you’ll find photo-filled guides, color-by-color explanations, and posts that help you understand the difference between a standard tortie and a chocolate tortie, or how eye color genetics work in hairless cats. If you’re trying to decide which Sphynx is right for your family—or you’re simply curious about the science behind their beauty—you’re in the right place.

Sphynx cats come in nearly every standard feline color and pattern, despite being hairless. At Purradox Sphynxery, we produce black, blue, lilac, chocolate, tortie, calico, red, and tabby, with patterns such as bicolor, harlequin, and solid.
A DBE Sphynx carries a gene that causes blue eyes regardless of coat color. It is different from the standard blue-eyed gene and can occur in non-white cats. DBE is often seen in our Elite Program kittens and is highly sought after.
Yes! Some Sphynx cats have one blue and one green, gold, or amber eye. This condition is called heterochromia and is often linked to white spotting or DBE genetics. It is completely safe and stunningly beautiful.
