Senza Capelli Sphynx Cattery is owned by Dr. Susan M., B.Com., Holistic Animal Practitioner.
Susan has been breeding cats since 1996 and devoted much time and attention to the healthy development of the Sphynx breed. This is a hobby and a joy, since Susan does have a  career which she conducts from an office in her home after semi retiring in 2002.   Susan  started breeding Devon Rex cats in the early 1990's and after many cat shows, fell in love with the Sphynx cat, which at the time was a cat in miscellaneous class.  She was one of the first Sphynx breeders in  Canada and devoted much time and attention to getting the Sphynx cat recognized in CFA.   She showed in miscellaneous class for years to help judges with the Sphynx standard.   Senza Capelli is Italian for "without hair".

 I only have a few kittens a year and they are all hand raised.   I am semi retired and  my grandchildren are in my home regularly playing with the kittens.  I also have a Chinese Crested dog named Fonzie who enjoys the company of the kittens and will run and play with them regularly. 

My cattery has been inspected by local authorities and have been given an "A" for our quality and care that all our cats and kittens receive.     

A cattery's environment has a profound effect of the future health, personality and  temperament of a kitten.  And a new pet is a long term commitment.

We therefore encourage you to visit our cattery at any time so that you can personally observe the high standards that we enforce.

If it is not possible to visit us due to your geographical location, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have about our cattery.

Senza Capelli ( Italian for: "without hair") kittens are with human companionship from the day they are born, litter boxes are changed several times a day and we are meticulous about water and food dishes.

Our kittens are well socialized: they are handled constantly and run the house freely.  Friends and visitors are encouraged to handle and play with them. This is very important for the proper development of a kitten's personality.

Our kittens are bathed, their ears cleaned and nails clipped on a regular basis from a very young age.  We do this so that they are accustomed to these practices when they go to their new homes.   

Sphynx cats are rare and we normally have a waiting list for our kittens. Pricing for our Sphynx cats depends upon type, markings and bloodlines. Usually, we make our kittens available between 12 and 16 weeks of age. After 12 weeks, our kittens have had their inoculations, are litter trained and have developed the physical and social stability needed for a new environment.  At 12 weeks they have also developed their personality and social skills and their immune system has had time to mature. All of our kittens are spayed/neutered before going to their new homes.

Keeping such a rare treasure indoors, neutering or spaying and providing acceptable surfaces (e.g. scratching posts) for the natural behaviour of scratching (CFA disapproves of declawing or tendonectomy surgery) are essential elements for maintaining the long,  healthy and joyful life of your Sphynx cat.
