Sphynx cats are known for their affectionate nature and unique appearance—but just like any breed, their health depends on responsible breeding and proactive care. At Purradox Sphynxery, we don’t just talk about health—we live it. Every one of our breeding cats is screened for HCM annually, FIV/FeLV tested, and genetically screened for inheritable diseases to ensure healthier kittens and peace of mind for their future families.
In this section, you’ll find in-depth content about Sphynx health challenges, how to interpret test results, the truth about HCM DNA testing, and our full health protocol from kittenhood to adulthood. Whether you’re looking to adopt, already own a Sphynx, or are thinking about breeding, this category offers evidence-based insight and actionable tips.
We also bust myths—like the one that says all Sphynx cats are sickly. With the right breeding choices and veterinary oversight, Sphynx cats can live long, joyful lives. Our commitment doesn’t stop at adoption—Purradox kittens go home fully vetted and come from ethically managed lines backed by health history.

The most exotic hairless cat breeds include the Sphynx, Elf, Dwelf, and Donskoy. Each has distinct traits—like the Elf’s curled ears, the Dwelf’s short legs, and the Donskoy’s more rubbery skin. These breeds are known for their affectionate nature, low-shedding skin, and striking looks.
Not necessarily! While breeds like the Dwelf or Elf may have additional grooming or temperature needs, their care routine is manageable with proper education. Regular bathing, skin checks, ear cleaning, and warmth are key. Read our Sphynx Cat Care Guide for detailed info.
The Canadian Sphynx is a top choice for families due to its playful, affectionate, and social personality. Always choose a breeder who socializes kittens early, like we do at Purradox Sphynxery.
