Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is the most common heart disease in cats, in Sphynx cats it is common and the cause is unknown at this point, in some breeds a familial link has been established so just in case it is found to be familial in Sphynx cats too we will test our parent cats.
There could be a nutrition link so we will feed our cats a low carb diet, we feed Big Country raw. And keep them at a healthy weight.
It is very hard for a breeder to prevent HCM in the kittens when a cause is unknown but we do everything in our power to minimize the risk.
All pets should have their hearts checked at the vet annually. Early detection could save your cat’s life.
We offer a 5 year HCM guarantee , if your pet is fed a raw diet and kept at a healthy weight, vet checked annually and dies from HCM in the first 5 years we will replace your kitten.
