The Sphynx Cat Club will endeavour to find the right home for a sphynx that is in need. The Club will take into it's care any Sphynx that is unable to stay in it's home. If a owner is no longer able to keep the cat in the conditions accustomed to it's needs, and the owner is aware this is the case, Please contact the Welfare Officers who can help and advise. If you have a sphynx with a problem we maybe able to help, or point you in the right direction..
Sometimes it is circumstances beyond anyone's control that a sphynx find it's self looking for a new home and owner. Most breed clubs have their own welfare section and a purebred cat is going to find the right home if it goes through a dedicated club welfare, then handed into a local rescue centre, that are extremely busy and have so much to deal with on a daily basic, where as the welfare within the breed clubs, have the time and understanding for this breed.
If a sphynx comes into our care. We will endeavour to find the breeder and as a curtsy call inform the breeder, that the cat is in the clubs care. If the breeders cannot be found and no micro chip is on the cat then the cat is chipped and veterinary check under the care of the Club. As from August 2007 one of our Welfare Officers will be able to chip for the club.
Once the cat has been vet checked and the Officer looking after the cat can see what sort of temperament and the best type of home that is needed, then a new suitable home will be found. We do not allow our re-home cats to be fostered short term, we rather they stay in the minimum amount of new homes as possible while the right home is being found...This may take several weeks, it maybe the cat is unwell and needs to be on medicine for a short period...
The Welfare Officers do hold a waiting list if you wish to join it. Please contact

Once the new owners have been found and house checks/references have been checked you will be be given full support from the Officers if you should feel you need it...
Our welfare is run as a non profit making support, for cats and their owners, in which case a donations will be asked for to help with the Veterinary Checks/medication and boarding.
