Meet the Sphynx
No coat, all character
The Sphynx is the world's most recognisable hairless breed, born from a natural genetic mutation in a 1966 Ontario litter. Today they're adored for their intelligence, warmth — literal and emotional — and boundless curiosity.
Here's the surprise: hairless doesn't mean low-maintenance. Sphynx cats need regular baths and dedicated skin care to keep their skin healthy — and plenty of enrichment to keep that busy brain out of trouble.
- Naturally hairless since a 1966 Canadian litter
- Exceptionally smart, curious and energetic
- Needs regular baths and warm spots to snuggle

Life with a naked extrovert
A Sphynx needs three things in abundance: warmth, skin care and stimulation.
Bath & skin routine
Regular gentle baths and skin care keep their coat-free skin clean and healthy.
Warm spots everywhere
Cosy beds, blankets and sunny windowsills — a hairless cat feels the cold.
