Sphynx cats are generally considered one of the pricier cat breeds due to their rarity, health testing, spaying/neutering, pedigrees, and initial vaccinations. Adopting a Sphynx cat involves not only the initial cost but also ongoing expenses for grooming, veterinary care, and premium cat food.
The easiest way to adopt a Sphynx is through a rescue that specializes in Sphynx cats. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Sphynx cats in your area.
