"The Sweetest Part of each day . . ."
Placed with Care, in Homes prepared to Love & Shelter
"For A Lifetime ---"
Our Sphynx kittens are raised in our home with all the attention, love and affection that a little baby needs... When they leave our home for yours they are prepared to be a loved part of your life.
"We spend time with our kittens from the moment they are born."
They are well socialized to a family environment. They are loved and played with by us, kids and grandkids so they will adapt to whatever family members they might live with in your home.
****************** ****************
# "Please Remember" --- "Your Home Is Brand New To Them..." #
Remember that they are little Sphynx babies who have made a long trip, and a transition from the only family they have ever known, to be with you.
They will need a couple of days of "Quiet-Time" to acclimate themselves to their new home.
We suggest that you start them in a secure room, with food, water, a new litter box, a scratching post, a few toys, their bed, & "YOU" of course.
Allow them to meet the other family members, a few at a time, in a calm, non-threatening manner.
Before introducing other household pets, allow your new baby to get to know and trust you, and to let your other pets discover that they are still loved.
Tempting though it may be, it can be a big mistake to rush this process...!!!
Allow your current pets plenty of time for sniffing under the door to the new pet's room. Try switching rooms for awhile, letting your new kitten explore your home while your current pet
spends some time checking out the room.
You can even switch food and water dishes so they get used to each others smells etc.
Later let them check out each other through a screen door or sliding glass door... If this goes well, carry your new kitten around with you in the same room with your current pet, then reverse roles carrying your current pet.
Let them sniff each other while holding one or both... And Finally... When you feel comfortable, let them both free to get to know one another.
All this effort can prevent an unpleasant reaction that could be physically and/or emotionally hard to recover from.
If you will allow your new Sphynx kitten this introductory period we feel that they will more easily adapt to many years of family life with you.
*******************************
# " No Table Scraps Please...!!!" #
Terrible for the kitten's health, Plus there are many seemingly innocent foods that are "Poisonious To Cats"... (Examples: chocolate, onions, etc. etc)
We ask that you provide your kitten with the premium cat food that they have always been provided... It is best for their health & nutritional needs.
Your Sphynx has always been "Free-Fed" "Iams Ocean Fish & Rice" dry food . Making any quick changes in you baby's diet could result in sickness and/or malnutrition.
If you must switch your kitten to a different "premium" food we ask that you "Do It Slowly", by mixing their current brand with the new a little at a time, until the switch is made.
*******************************
NOTE:
By the way, many household plants are also poisonious to your new baby...!!!
(Check Yours Out With Your Vet).
Also, take a few minutes to check out our "Cat Poisons & Hazards " page listed on the left side of this page... It is loaded with helpful information that could save the life of a cherished pet...
It is surprising how many household items can pose a danger!!!
***********************************
# "Litter Boxes:" #
Your kitten is also accustomed to having several litter boxes throughout the house.
Please provide for your baby's needs with boxes placed in inconspicuous places, "Always Keeping The Litter Scooped" to allow for your kitten's comfort and odor control for you.
We use "Tidy Cat" scoop, a clumping litter available throughout the United States.
*******************************
# "Scratching:" #
In addition your Sphynx kitten will need places that it is allowed to "scratch". Scratching is natural to a cat and "They Are Going To Do It..."
"If you do not provide them with an appropriate place to work their claws & stretch their muscles, they will choose a place for themselves."
Unfortunately they may choose an inapropriate object if you have not provided posts for them.
It is best to be prepared & have their scratching places chosen "BEFORE" they are taken to your home, thus preventing bad habits before they start.
*****************************
# "Contract:" #
We require a contract, both for your protection & the kitten's.
The contract is specific in what is required of you, and in what you can expect of your kitten and from us... "Please Read It In Its ENTIRETY, And Refer To It OFTEN"
We will not sell a kitten without a signed contract under any circumstances.
***************************
HAPPY DAYS...!!!!!!!!!!
Here's to many happy days, weeks, months and years together with your brand new
"Naked Little Sphynx Baby" !!!
