Our 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee
Our 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee
Each of our Sphynx kittens comes with a 1-year genetic health guarantee.
Our kittens are guaranteed against the genetic conditions of HCM and PKD for their first year of life, which are two of the most prevalent health conditions in the Sphynx breed. We take precautions to decrease the odds of producing Sphynx kittens with genetic disorders by testing every cat in our breeding program prior to breeding. While this genetic testing does not guarantee that your kitten will never develop HCM or PKD, it significantly decreases the risk.
Our 72-Hour Health Guarantee
Fully outlined in our Sphynx Adoption Contract
Each of our Sphynx kittens comes with a 72-hour health guarantee.
Our kittens are guaranteed for 72 hours against FIV, FeLV, and serious, life-threatening health issues. If a licensed veterinarian finds that your kitten has FIV, FeLV, or another serious, life-threatening health condition, a refund will be given upon the return of the kitten. Your kitten must remain quarantined from all other pets and animals during this 72-hour period, or else you forfeit the ability to use this guarantee.
