Pics are more then welcome!

For shopping:
- blankets (so your kitten can crawl under the blanket when it wants to sleep or if it feels a bit cold)
- da bird or other feather toys. Most sphynx love it and it’s fun to play with your kitten

But most important: buy what you can afford and what you think your kitten will like:)

My friend gave me a rod-and-string cat toy, shaped like a fish skeleton with a grumpy cat head lol

I already have lots of blankies for my kitty! Can’t wait to meet them!

How did I miss this?!? Congrats!!!

I'd personally hold up on the bed lol see what your kitty is like. Astrid refuses to use hers. She'd rather chill in her blankets and "her" queen size bed lol

I have the same scoop! I've had it forever & think it's the easiest to use, because it's a little larger. I use clumping litter as well, & it works very well for that. My two girls will sometimes go in the same spot in the litterbox, and that scoop easily handles the double-sized peeballs!

~~~edit: Also, Scooter is darling, trying to fit in that bitty cat bed!!~~~

What a spoiled little kitten your kitten will be:). You’re well prepaired! Scooter is a cutie. No better bed then a cat bed when you’re a dog:)

@sphynkles , s00000 excited for you! What a sphynx stash!

Be extra careful with your baby out on a harnesses-
Some kitties get frightened and can back out of a harness and get loose !
So make sure it fits really good! There are many great harnesses used by members who can chime on the catit brand harness to review :)

I can't imagine how your heart is going pitter patter with excitement !
Look forward to lots of pics and tales!
You did it! Woo Hoo!

Oh, ps: does the breeder microchip the kitties ?
Is that something you are considering ?
If so, a good time to do it is when they are having their spay/ neuter surgery -
Then you just separately pay a registration fee

Great batch of supplies. I laughed at Scooter squeezing him in the cat bed.

My bestie has a Portie dog whose bed is inhabited by the two resident Siberian cats. Another friend of mine has a dog and cat... the cat takes over the huge dog bed and the dog does his best to fit on the smaller cat bed. Things never go as planned. LOL

I wouldn't suggest letting your Sphynx baby outside until all shots given -- usually about 6 months of age. That's my suggestion any way.

Again, congrats!

I just found this thread! Congrats on meeting your maybe new sphynx! Love how scooter thinks that bed is his/her

You must be so excited!!!! Can’t wait for pictures!!!

Also remember to slowly introduce your new kitty to your pup! It can take time for them to become friends. We have 2 standard poodles and it took a few weeks for them to be ok with our new kitty!
