Grooming

No coat does not mean no maintenance. Skin oils that a coat would absorb sit on the skin instead, so a Sphynx needs bathing roughly every 2 weeks.

What that costs

We do not have enough priced salons yet to publish a figure for this size.

Vaccinations

The schedule is the same for every cat — it depends on age and vaccine, not on breed. Work out the exact dates for yours.

All breed guides

General guidance about the breed, not advice about your individual pet. Weight, coat and exercise needs vary, and your vet knows yours.
