Advert Details
Through no fault of his own, we have made the heartbreaking decision to rehome our 2 year old Sphynx, Yuri.
The reason for rehoming is that he is not getting on with sharing his home with our 18 month old daughter and we believe this is further impacted by the loss of our dog several months ago.
Our daughter is very demanding of his attention and is not yet able to understand boundaries, so we feel it is fairer for him to go to a home where his personal space is respected and he is given the right attention.
We would like for him to go to owners who are very experienced with cats and/or Sphynx, but new time Sphynx owners will be considered!
Yuri is incredibly affectionate and cuddly with adults and older children (who understand and respect boundaries).
He is very playful and is happiest when snuggled up in your lap or basking in the sun.
Yuri can live with cat-friendly dogs as he has lived with dogs previously and we often have my parent’s dogs come to stay which has never been an issue and he is very friendly.
He has never lived with another cat but seemed to get on well with the cats local to us.
Yuri does also go out for walks (in warm weather) on a leash and enjoys spending time in the garden but this should be monitored so he doesn’t wonder off.
Sphynx cats require a lot of maintenance.
Yuri is currently bathed fortnightly, sometimes more if necessary.
He is well behaved in the bath and we’ve never had any issues with clipping his nails, wiping his face/ears/feet.
He is 2 years old and NOT neutered.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Be extra cautious with online transactions!
We encourage you to read these guidelines before buying or adopting a cat.
Have you done your research?
Carry out the research so you have the necessary knowledge of the pet you are getting. Since owning a cat is a big commitment, you should research about the breed fully to make sure it fits your current lifestyle and budget.
Have you seen the kitten?
Take time to visit the advertiser's home to confirm if they are genuine. Do not settle for online communications and photos. UK Pets does not verify the authenticity of all advertisers. The advertiser should allow you to personally see the kittens with their mother. If they keep on giving you excuses why you could not visit their home or the address stated in the advert is not the accurate and permanent location of the kitten, consider this a red flag.
Avoid online payment
Never pay anything online through money transfer companies especially if you have not personally visited the advertiser and seen the kitten, this includes deposit and delivery cost for the kitten. There is also no means to recover your money if issues arise. Before closing a deal, you must have signed a well-defined contract.
Documents & Vaccinations
Ask for all the necessary documents such as GCCF, TICA or FIFe certificate and veterinary card. The kitten should have up-to-date vaccinations, as well as deworming and flea treatments. Genuine advertisers would also agree to refunds if health checks on the kitten confirm poor results.
Responsible Advertiser
The advertiser should only release the kittens when they are 8 weeks old or older. They should be responsible enough to know that separating the kitten from the mother earlier results in medical and behavioural issues.
If you have reasons to believe that an Advertiser is not genuine, please report them to us immediately.

Special Cat with Special Needs: The Hairless Sphynx Cat
The Sphynx cat is definitely a head turner with its very unusual features. At first glance, the look like hairless cats, but the truths is that they have soft fuzzy hair on their body especially in particular areas such as ear tips, nose, and feet. While most Sphynx cats have fine hair, there are also some cats that are completely bald.
