Buying a Sphynx Kitten in Canada: Cost, Deposit, and What's Included

Updated

Sphynx Canada Kittens (sphynx.ca) lists its kittens at $2,200.00 CAD, with a $200 deposit required to hold one. That price includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, a health and temperament contract, 4 weeks of Trupanion pet insurance, and registration. The breeder is based in Windsor, Ontario, and states it ships throughout North America. Before you reserve, confirm the deposit terms, read the Health Guarantee and FAQ pages, and verify the health-testing and registration claims directly with the breeder.

The site does not state whether the $2,200 is in CAD or USD, whether taxes apply, or whether shipping costs are separate. Ask these questions before sending a deposit.

The reservation process

  1. Review the terms first. The breeder asks buyers to read the Health Guarantee page and the FAQ page before purchasing. Do this before paying anything.
  2. Check availability. The site says litters are available throughout the year and directs buyers to an Available Kittens page for current and upcoming litters. One listing example is a 12-week-old chocolate point male described as ready to go.
  3. Contact the breeder. Reach out via the website contact form, email ([email protected] or [email protected]), or text at 519-791-7922 to confirm which kittens are available.
  4. Pay the $200 deposit to hold your kitten, after confirming the terms in writing.
  5. Arrange pickup or shipping. The breeder is in Windsor, Ontario and ships throughout North America. Confirm cost, method, and timing for your location.

What the breeder claims about health and breeding

The site lists these points under "Why Choose Sphynx Canada":

  • Over 30 years of breeding experience
  • CFA registered breeding program
  • HCM-aware and health-focused
  • Early spay/neuter program
  • Raised in a clean, loving home environment
  • Ongoing support after adoption

"HCM-aware" is a claim about awareness, not a guarantee that specific tests were performed on the parents. If HCM status matters to you, ask which cats were tested, by what method (for example echocardiogram), and when. Similarly, "CFA registered breeding program" should be verified by asking for registration details on the kitten and the parents.

Questions to ask before you commit

  • Is the $2,200 price in CAD or USD, and does it include tax?
  • Is shipping included, or is it an extra cost? What method is used?
  • What health tests have the parent cats had, and can you see the results?
  • What does the health guarantee actually cover, and for how long?
  • At what age do kittens leave (the site references 12 weeks for one kitten)?
  • What does "lifelong breeder support" include in practice?
  • What happens if the kitten has a health issue after pickup?

Who this fits

This breeder suits buyers who want a Sphynx kitten with spay/neuter, vaccinations, insurance, and registration bundled into one price, and who are comfortable with a non-refundable deposit. It may not suit buyers who want to visit and choose in person without a deposit, or who need fully documented HCM testing before committing. If either applies, ask for the documentation first and decide based on what the breeder provides.
