I have come to the decision that I would like to adopt a Sphynx, and I have a few questions for the breeders on this board about what I should be looking for. Some of these questions may be really stupid, but I really want to know.
When I look for a cattery is there an organization that certifies them, or should I be judging it simply on how clean they are, that the cats aren't kept in cages unless giving birth, or for a supervised "time out"?
If the kitten is fixed when I buy it, should I offer to reimburse the breeder? I'm asking this question because I know that spay/neuter can be expensive for an entire litter.
Do most breeders breed full time? Is breeding and showing their full time job, or do some have a career outside of it?
Do most breeders ship their cats?
Thank you SO much for your time...
