CFA'S Best of Breed (GLOBAL AWARD) for 2006-2007

 

Welcome to Skinzin Sphynx Cattery.  I hope you enjoy looking at my pictures, and reading a little about my cats and me, and my contributions to the health and welfare of this wonderful breed.

I have been actively breeding Sphynx since 2001, and show my cats in The Cat Fanciers Association.  I am proud to say that I have bred 16 Grand Champions and 2 National Winners.  My cattery foundation queen has received the title of Distinguished Merit based on the number of grand champions she has produced.  She is the 2nd Sphynx in The Cat Fanciers Association to receive this title.  Please look at my cattery Awards page to see this, and other, awards. 

I began in the cat fancy the same way many do.  I have always had cats prior to breeding them.  Becoming a breeder, and having a sphynx cattery was not something I planned to do though.  But I was captivated by the sweet personality and look of the Sphynx.  Their inquisitive personalities, and stunning beauty charmed me from the beginning.   

The goal of Skinzin Cattery is to produce happy, healthy Sphynx cats that closely meet my interpretation of the CFA Sphynx Breed Standard.  All my breeding, and retired cats receive annual cardiac ultrasounds.  These ultrasounds are given by a board-certified, licensed veterinary cardiologist, to ensure the best accuracy possible for diagnoses of any problem, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a degenerative heart condition inherent in some Sphynx lines.  This is a practice that I encourage all breeders to invest in if they are to raise healthy lines.  All we can do is our very best by the breed so that you, the pet owner, receive a pet that will live a long and healthy life and provide you with the companionship you desire.

My concern with heart-health in the Sphynx resulted in my becoming the Key Coordinator for Sphynx HCM Research.  We now have a grant for DNA research, and The Winn Feline Foundation is working hard to find the genetic marker for this condition on the DNA of the Sphynx.  We are hopeful that this research will contribute to the elimination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the Sphynx Breed through a simple blood test.  For more information about this research, please go to http://www.sphynxbc.org/affairs.htm.  If you have any questions for Skinzin Cattery, please do not hesitate to email me or give me a call. 

I hope you will enjoy visiting the Skinzin Cattery website!

WARNING KITTEN SEEKERS!!!!!

There are sphynx catteries in our area that are breeding high volumes of kittens, not in keeping with humane standards of health and quality.  The Sphynx cat is a highly exploited breed.  Please do your research before committing to a kitten purchase from any Sphynx cattery! 

Here at Skinzin Sphynx Cattery, we feel that Health, Type and Temperament are the key issues to good catteries – not producing large quantities of kittens to make quick, easy sales.  Health, being the number ONE issue, includes not only good feline husbandry on the part of the individual Sphynx cattery, but also acquiring knowledge of the genetics which make up each individual cat used in the breeding program.

Please feel free to contact me for more information with regards to good Sphynx cattery husbandry, which includes inoculations against Feline Rhinotracheitis (feline herpes), Panleukopenia, and Calici, and microchipping.

Skinzin Sphynx Cattery is a CFA CATTERY OF EXCELLENCE.  Click below to see what it means to be a CFA CATTERY OF EXCELLENCE.  Do your research... and see how many Sphynx Catteries bear this badge of excellence.
