Meow Acres Sphynx - Sphynx Care

WARMTH
Sphynx really are normal cats even though they lack hair, they are not a small cat but actually average-sized. You may be fooled because they do not have that extra inch or two of fur. Sphynx feel as though they have a higher body temperature but they don't, their temperature is 100-102 F same as other cats. Do Sphynx need to be kept warmer, I use the rule if I need a sweater so do my Sphynx. They like to sleep in blankets or with you.

FOOD
I feed Chicken Soup for the Soul of the Cat which I will give you some in case you can't find it, then you can mix it with what you want to feed him to change him over. Just make sure you feed a high quality food. Also I do feed about a tablespoon or so of Friskies, Fancy Feast or 9-Lives meat at night for a treat. (Any variety will work). You can easily spot your cat's personal favorite in a few weeks of trial if you pay close attention! They all seem to have a favorite and some don't seem to like meat at all.

LITTER
I also use a Tidy Cat as litter. No clumping, as this can get into cat paws and then they clean themselves and could block intestinal tract causing them trauma. Any good clay litter is fine.

SHOT RECORDS
1st shot is Felocell CVR by Pfizer which includes Feline Rhino, Calici, Panleukopenia Modified Live Vaccine, given Sub-Q at 9 wks of age.

Wormed with Pancur by mouth.

2nd shot was Felocell CVR (same as above) Sub-Q at 12 wks of age.

3rd shot - ask your vet, every vet has his own vaccination program.

Wormed with Strongid-T.

Ears treated with Mitox as preventive.

It is our hope that you have fun with your new friend,
because the love they return will be great!!!
If you have any questions, please contact me.





			Sphynx Care CLEANING Sphynx do need regular baths, since they do not have hair they pick up dust and dirt. I bathe my Sphynx in the kitchen sink, they usually get their first bath at 6 weeks I start by clipping their nails, then wash and while they are wrapped in their towel clean their ears.
