Ask about the breeder’s experience, health testing protocols, socialization practices, and what’s included in the adoption package. Ensure they follow ethical breeding guidelines.
Here’s a list of essential questions to ask a Sphynx breeder:
Topic | Questions |
---|---|
Health & Genetics | “Have the parents been screened for genetic conditions like HCM?” “What vaccinations and health tests will my kitten receive before adoption?” |
Breeding Practices | “How long have you been breeding Sphynx cats?” “Do you follow a specific breeding standard to ensure health and temperament?” |
Kitten Care | “What type of food do you feed the kittens?” “How are the kittens socialized before going to new homes?” |
Contracts & Guarantees | “Do you offer a health guarantee, and what does it cover?” “Is there a spay/neuter agreement, and at what age do you recommend this?” |
Support After Adoption | “What kind of support do you offer after adoption?” “Are you available to answer questions or provide guidance if needed?” |
Kitten Selection | “How do you match kittens to families?” “Can I meet the parents of the kitten I’m interested in?” |
Pricing & Payment | “What is included in the cost of the kitten?” “Do you offer payment plans or financing options?” |
