Once I convinced my husband we wanted a sphynx, I started looking around at catteries to see what they were about. NoCoatKitty stood out right away because of the undeniable beauty of the cats they produce. The kittens are raised in-home, never caged, come with a health guarantee, and if you can't come pick up your baby, someone will fly out with him/her so they're never alone! NoCoatKitty cares SO much about their sphynxes going to good homes that are a good fit for the sphynx breed.
Before you can purchase one of their hairless bundles of love, you need to fill out an application and be approved. A lot of people complain that their application hasn't been seen or that their messages haven't been responded to. They are eager to be sphynx parents, which is understandable. NoCoatKitty DOES receive the applications. (I sent mine in 3 different times in 3 different ways, just to make sure. It was overkill, but I'm one of those people.) The best thing to know is that NoCoatKitty does most of their stuff on Instagram. Once you have your application in, watch their Instagram stories for alerts on available kittens and comment that you want one.
After this connection has been made, NoCoatKitty is absolutely amazing on communication. I could text them with questions I had, or any concerns. I'd never owned a cat before so I knew nothing, but Tracy and Anne were so great to give me tips and text pictures of our girl, Leona. There were some issues with getting her shipped out here to the northwest last winter because of all the snowstorms, but in no way was that the fault of the breeder. She even called me several times to make sure the courier made it here okay and that Leona was adjusting alright.
After having Leona as a part of our family, it's clear that NoCoatKitty breeds not only for beauty and health, but also for temperament. She is the most loveable creature on the planet! She's playful and funny and she makes the cutest chirps and meows all the time. I've never met an animal with more energy, but she's also cuddly and demands the use of my husband's almost-beard to rub her face on. She has converted even anti-cat people, if not into pro-cat people, at least into pro-Leona people. NoCoatKitty was exceptional to work with. Whenever we're ready for our next hairless funball, we will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend them to anyone considering purchasing a sphynx. read more
