Good luck on your search…it’s definitely important to research. There are many backyard breeders and scammers these days. Hoping this info helps you.

Ways to help detect fraud & scammers when adopting/buying a cat

NEVER send money via Western Union. If possible - get a cat or kitten that is in driving distance of your home. Most breeders selling kittens or people re-homing or adopting out will communicate no problem via phone, emails or in person. If not - look somewhere else. Visit the breeder’s home if...

What to expect from a responsible sphynx breeder

We get this question quite a bit here on Sphynxlair so I figured we would compile some useful information, a check list if you will for a first time sphynx buyer or even an existing sphynx parent looking to get another sphynx cat or kitten. All of these items listed below aren't necessarily deal...

Hi all,

I’m unsure if this is the right area to post this, but I am devastated to say I need to re-home my 7 year old elf sphynx. she has been my best friend and my shadow from the moment I brought her home as a tiny kitten. I have not spent one night away from her since bringing her into my home from the time she was 2-3 months old. She is my first cat ever & I always wanted a sphynx. I am incredibly allergic to cats, but at the time I was under the impression sphynx cats were hypoallergenic. Over the years my allergies have progressed, I told myself my body would adjust and that I could take allergy medicine and also get allergy shots. Unfortunately, this has not been the case and despite my efforts it’s gotten to the point where I am now having trouble breathing as a result. This has been really really devastating for my partner and I. This cat is our entire world and I’m just at such a loss. I was hoping a family member or close friend could watch her for me until we got a larger place, but that didn’t end up panning out how I hoped it would. This has been a topic my partner and I have been agonizing and arguing about for months.

My cat will be 7 tomorrow (9/1/25) she was born on 9/1/2018. She is a huge love bug, but she does have some quirks. She constantly sucks her tail, as I’ve been told that is something sphynx cats in particular will do. It seems to be a self soothing mechanism she’s been doing since she was about 3 months old. She currently has a little wound on her tail that I’ve continually tried to treat, it starts to get a lot better— but as a result of her tail sucking it ends up prolonging the healing process quite a bit. She’s snuggly and very talkative when she’s comfortable with you. Overall in great health, but she does need to be with someone who will care for her, give her their time and treat her like the princess she is. She is fine with dogs, as long as they aren’t aggressive. She has not been around any cats so I can’t say how she will do there. She is sneaky and loves to steal food if given a chance, so she needs someone who will stay on top of making sure they aren’t leaving things out for her to get into.

i keep trying to upload photos but every photo from my library is apparently too large to share. Please feel free to message me or reply here. I can send my info & provide photos etc.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do after nearly 7 years together. If someone with experience and love to give can give my girl a good and comfortable life, please get in touch with me This is absolutely gut wrenching.

Have a great holiday weekend & thank you for reading ❤️

thank you so much. i am just seeing this now and just sobbing, i can’t thank you enough. this is gut wrenching and we’ve tried looking for family members or close friends to take her in for months so she can stay close. At this point, I just want her to be able thrive with someone that will love her and care for her as much as we do.

thank you so much your words of support brought tears to my eyes.
