HCM Scanning Cattery

Our breeding cats undergo annual HCM scans administered by board-certified cardiologists to uphold their health standards. All kittens are accompanied by a comprehensive health guarantee, including an HCM guarantee.

Before kittens leave our care and enter your heart, each kitten is attentively examined by a board-certified veterinarian and issued a signed letter of good health. Sphynx cats are generally healthy, but they can be at higher risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common heart disease in cats. Responsible breeders screen for this genetic condition because it may not develop until later in life.
