About this Sphynx
Sphynx is a medium cat with a hairless coat. There is little fur to cut. Skin care takes the place of a standing groomer appointment. Day-to-day care sits in the middle: regular walks or play, not a specialist sport. A Sphynx price for adoption or a breeder is the widest line: this sketch uses $2,600 inside a $1,800–$4,000 band.
