Special K Sphynx is an ethical breeding cattery. This means we only have as many cats as we can personally care for, and give one on one attention to each and every day. Our cats are not kept in cages, and have free range throughout our home. All of our babies are placed by contract, and all potential owners will be interviewed. We will not place one of our babies into a home we do not feel comfortable with.
