FAQ

Do you have a waiting list?

We do not have a waiting list. We tried using one briefly and did not feel it made things better for us, our customers or our kittens. Filling out our Kitten Application is the first step to purchasing a kitten from us. Once your application is accepted, we reply quickly and keep you updated on upcoming kitten availability. We will always send an email to notify you of kitten availability. When kittens are posted with pictures and prices, this means they are either available to reserve or ready to adopt and go home right away! Kittens are posted typically after 8 weeks of age or older! Kittens cannot leave until they are between 12 to 16 weeks old, sometimes older for various reasons and all kittens will be Spayed / Neutered before being able to go home! Choosing from kittens is on a first come, first serve basis, once we accept your application!

How do I reserve a kitten?

What is an imported kitten?

We have our own cattery and breed our cats here at Luna Kats. We have established trusted relationships with catteries in Europe. Imported kittens that are here at Luna Kats, come from a caring and loving home environment which meet our expectations. We make these kittens available to you here at Luna Kats to give you additional availability.

What about the Health Guarantee?

All kittens sold from Luna Kats come with the same contract/genetic/health guarantee.

You also receive free 30 day pet insurance for your kitten.

Can I come visit the kittens?

For a multitude of reasons, We limit visits scheduled strictly for customers who have filled out our kitten application, signed our contract and placed a deposit. Visits will be limited to customers who are coming to pick up their kitten. This means kitten will be 12 weeks or older! Yes, we run a strict cattery! It does not mean we have anything to hide, it means we take the utmost precautions for our own safety of our home and the health and safety of our cats and kittens which is our #1 priority! You will be sent updates and pictures on your kitten. You can contact me anytime for any questions you may have.

-We do not allow visits to pick out a kitten or just to come look at a sphynx because you have never seen one in person or to play/pet them, visit with them.

-We do Not provide allergy visits, you can still be allergic to Sphynx and since our home has several cats as opposed to having one cat in the home, That alone can make a huge difference. You are responsible for having your own testing done by your method of choosing, talking with your doctor, possibly taking allergy meds daily, many things you need to consider before moving forward with purchasing a sphynx kitten.

When can kittens leave?

At 12 to 16 weeks old kittens can be picked up or shipped.

Kittens may appear much larger to you in pictures than they actually are in person!

Should I get 2 kittens?

We think its ideal to have at least 2 pets in the house. This gives them a companion to interact with to play, when your not home etc.

Do you have a contract & health guarantee?

Yes! We have both.

Why do I have to go to the Vet within 48 hours of picking up my kitten?

Our kittens have been examined by a Veterinarian before leaving our house as proof that our kittens are healthy before going home. It is your responsibility as the new owner to make sure that your kitten is healthy as well and to cover the first part of your health guarantee.

What does my kitten need at my Vet appointment?

We recommend scheduling a regular physical exam. Your kitten is up to date with vaccines at pick up and has been dewormed. Please do not over vaccinate your kitten! Follow our vaccine schedule we give you! Please, understand that the rehoming process is a stressful time for your kitten. Giving vaccines at the Veterinarian that is not needed at the time or too soon as changing an environment, could make your kitten feel lethargic and sick. Please be aware of your kittens vaccination schedule!

What about a collar? & clothes for my cat?

Things to keep in mind! Sphynx are indoor cats only! My cats and kittens do not wear collars as it can be uncomfortable for them, also it can cause irritation to their skin because they do not have hair. They are not outside! A collar can be dangerous for kittens, it can become caught or hung up on something, this can severely injure or even cause them death! It would be best, if you choose to keep a collar on your kitty, for purposes of the bell to know where they are, that you use the collar while you're at home only! As for clothes and sweaters, some sphynx don't mind at all and others just hate it! If your cat is fine with clothes, give them breaks in between clean clothes for a few days at least! And of course clothing on your sphynx is optional! They should always have a warm place somewhere in your home. Sphynx do not have to have clothes on! Clothing is optional, Not a necessity.

Are your kittens litterbox trained?

Yes! Our kittens are completely litterbox trained here in our home before leaving.

Keep in mind when bringing your new kitten home to keep them in a bedroom size area so they are not overwhelmed or lost in your new home depending on the size. They can have an accident in this case. let them get used to there new home and surroundings for at least a few days, this way they can adjust and also easily find their box! We also recommend keeping them on the same litter they are using here with an open box for at least 1 week until they have adjusted to their new environment!

Adult Sphynx male to weigh 8 - 10 pounds. This can vary give or take.

Lifespan of a Sphynx?

Are Sphynx Truly Hairless?

No Sphynx is truly 100% hairless, they do have fine hair on the bridge of the nose and backs of the ears. Some have a fine down or fuzz that makes them feel like velvet to the touch. Some have can have fuzz on the tail or other areas of the body. It does also depend on genetic background, hormonal changes, and seasonal changes, all play a role. This is hair you may see come and go or stay. Some Sphynx are more "hairless" than others. No guarantee can be made that your kitten may not grow some fuzz at some point in its life. Some remain very "naked".

Are Sphynx Hypoallergenic?

No. While many people think that a cat's fur is the primary allergen, this is actually a widespread misconception. According to the American Collage of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the allergic potential of cats is not driven by fur, but rather by the presence of a protein (Fel d 1) in the animal's saliva, dander and urine. Although the fur itself is not an allergen, it can collect saliva, dander and urine in addition to other allergens like dust, which means that cats with less fur may be less likely to collect allergens. Many frequently consider the Sphynx cat less allergenic because it does not have any fur to trap allergens. Many people tolerate Sphynx very well with less or no allergies.

-We do Not provide allergy visits, you can still be allergic to Sphynx and since our home has several cats as oppose to having one cat in the home, That alone can make a huge difference.
