We will be committed to you and open to sharing all our breed knowledge and we want to ensure there is a commitment in place.
Upon application approval, the deposit is $100.
$500 is due when your pick of the litter is identified
(when the kittens are about 2 months old.)
The $1000 balance is due at 12 weeks of age, which is about 2 weeks prior to sterilization,
micro-chipping, final vaccinations and registration.
Kitties usually go home at about 16 weeks old.
If you are currently researching the breed and would like to learn more about what to look for in a repsonsible breeder, please read below!
"Sphynx Breeders" are increasing in large numbers on daily basis. Many people uneducated in this unique breed take short cuts in order to make a quick buck. These is not what responsible breeding is about and if these kitten mills and backyard breeders are supported, they will negatively impact the future of the breed.
When considering adoption of a sphynx kitten, we beg you to please research the breed and breeders and that you only select a "Responsible Breeder." Many people interested in the novelty of a hairless cat will make a hasty adoption decision based on cute photos. There is much more to adopting a purebred sphynx kitty than meets the eye. We hope that you take your time and make a thoughtful, educated decision.
Selecting a responsbile breeder:
Before you make your decision on which cat to choose, screen many breeders. You will want to adopt your kitten from a responsible breeder. A responsible breeder is someone who is concerned with the betterment of the breed (health, type and temperament) and always put the life and future of all kittens before anything else. A responsbile breeder will also be screening you as they want the best home for their kittens. Screen breeders by asking many questions, asking for referrals from other pet owners and even their veterinarian.
Things to ask about when screening breeders:
1) HCM - All breeding adults should be scanned annually. Ask to see proof of scans as many breeders will say "yes, we scan for HCM" but when asked for proof, will not be able to provide it. The HCM scan will document the results, the heart measurements, and will come from a board certified cardiologist which can be contacted if there are any doubts.
2) REGISTRATION WITH TICA or CFA - All purebred sphynx should come with registration papers from one of these organizations. If the cats are not registered, you should run. Many sphynx are being sold as pets and then bad people starting breeding them and then try to sell the kittens. If you adopt an unregistered cat, you are supporting what I call a breed crime. Unregistered cats are the products of kitten mills and backyard breeders. If any future HCM issue arises in an unregistered cat, you will never be able to trace back to which lines should be eliminated from the breed. It's a disgrace to our breed that some people do this!
3) HEALTH OF KITTEN - What will your kitten be tested for prior to delivery? What vaccinations will be given? What will you have to do with your vet once the kitty arrives? What is the kitty gets sick? Ask the breeder these questions and get a feel for what they are offering.
4) GUARANTEE AND CONTRACT - Ask to see a copy of the contract. Review it throughly to see in which ways you will be protected if the cat gets sick and/or dies from a genetic or congential issue. Some issues or unavoidable and unpredicted. However, you will want to understand clearly in which way the breeder is going to support you. You will also need to know what the breeder expects of you too. If nothing is expected from you, you can be assured that you won't be able to go back to them if you have problems either!
5) SPAY/NEUTER - There is no reason why any breeder should sell an intact cat to a pet owner. It is not fair to the kitty, the pet owner, or the breed in so many ways. Make sure your breeder is very strict about having all pets fixed by their own vet prior to delivery. A responsible breeder is responsible for the surgery and for ensuring the kitty has recovered well afterwards. A responsible breeder does want the risk of any whole kitties being put out in the world.
A responsible breeder will be happy to answer all your questions fully and will take time to explain things to you. They may want to know about your family lifestyle also. If a breeders does not make you feel comfortable or warm and fuzzy then you may want to consider looking elsewhere. Your breeder should be the kind of person you would like to communicate with and have by your side as you take the journey into the sphynx world and to answer any questions you may have before, during and after your new family member enters your home.

Adoption Process
Beeblebrox Sphynx sells kittens for pets, show and occassionally to other breeders. Here is the process for purchasing a Beeblebrox Sphynx kitten or cat:
1. Browse our "Available Kittens" page to see when we are expecting kittens.
2. Fill out our "Online Adoption Application".
3. A non-refundable waiting list deposit of $100 is required to get on our waiting list. You are more likely to get a kitten sooner if you are flexible with the color and gender.
4. After a litter is born, we begin to evaluate them to determine which ones are likely to remain in our program and which ones may be placed as pets. The ones that we are confident can be placed as pets will be offered to those on our waiting list. The kitties designated as "Show/Breeding Evaluation" kitties will continue to be evaluated to determine if they will remain in our breeding program, be offered to other breeders that we know and trust, or placed as pets.
5. Once your kitten becomes available and has had at least 1 round of vaccinations, you can submit a deposit of $400 and sign/return your contract. We prefer Paypal but will accept other forms of payment as well.
6. We accept flexible payments and are happy to work within your budget as long as your kitty is paid for 2-3 weeks prior to the scheduled delivery or pick up date. We ask that your kitty be paid for in full before his/her neuter/spay appointment.
HCM In the Sphynx
Sphynx breeders of the world are aware of the risk of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) in the sphynx breed and should be annually testing breeding cats and breeding appropriately in order to prevent the disease from further reaching alarming proportions.
Because HCM is in pedigrees of virtually all sphynx, breeders should continue to breed cautiously while genetic research is being conducted on our breed. What is breeding cautiously? Well, here are some breeding guidelines published by Pawpeds.org for the breeding of MainCoons. I feel that these guidelines are AT A BARE MINIMUM, something to consider if one is to be cautious in breeding sphynx.
Normal Heart:
Cats with a normal heart status according to a test and without any close relatives* diagnosed with HCM can of course be used in breeding from a HCM point of view.
Diagnosed with HCM:
Cats diagnosed with HCM of any degree should not be used in breeding.
Equivocal:
If the cat was younger than 2 years of age when the test was done it is not recommended to use this cat for breeding. Instead another test should be done when the cats is older than 2 years.
*Close Relatives*
*Close relative has been diagnosed with HCM, the heart is normal on the cat itself when the cat is younger than 2 years:
These cats are not recommended to be used in a breeding programme until it has been approved for breeding after another test at the age of 2.
*Close relative has been diagnosed with HCM, the heart is normal on the cat itself at the age of 2-3 years:
If the cat still has shown no sign of HCM at the age of 3 the cat can be used in a breeding programme. It should however preferably be mated to a cat which is a risk free partner (not equivocal or cat with a close relative* diagnosed with HCM).
