Before you reserve a Sphynx kitten, slow down and ask the questions that protect you, the breeder, and the kitten. A good breeder will welcome serious questions because educated buyers make better homes.
Can I Speak With the Breeder?
A real breeder should be willing to communicate clearly. Phone or video communication helps buyers confirm that the person, the kitten, and the adoption process are real. Be cautious if every answer is rushed, vague, or text-only.
Can I See Current Photos or Video?
Ask for current photos or video of the kitten, not only old social media posts. The kitten should match the photos, color, age, sex, and description you are being given.
What Health Care Has Been Done?
Ask about veterinary exams, vaccines, deworming, health guarantees, HCM guarantee information, microchip details, and any care instructions. Sphynx kittens need special attention to warmth, skin care, diet, and stress during transition.
What Does the Contract Say?
A written agreement should explain payment, reservation terms, pickup or delivery timing, health guarantee details, buyer responsibilities, and breeder support. Do not rely only on verbal promises.
What Happens After I Reserve?
Ask what updates you will receive, when the kitten can go home, what supplies are recommended, how pickup or delivery works, and who to contact if questions come up after adoption.
