The hairless cats are also known by the name of Canadian Sphynx. I am also having this breed with me. It is agreat breed but you have to look out for major health issues to which thisbreed is predisposed.
I bought my cat when she was 14 weeks old. Since you are about tobring the kitten so make sure that you get it from a reputable breeder and onlythat breeder of the kitten will be reputable who shall be willing to give youthe cat once it is 12 weeks old, so that they can cope up with the new environment.And make a note that if proper care is not taken in the early stages of thelife of the cat then it can also lead to some grave respiratory diseases.
The major health issue which is been faced by this breed is thesudden thickening of a muscle of heart which is named as myocardium, that resultsin sudden death of these kittens due to cardiac arrest. Other disease which is common to the hairless breed of cat is dueto lack of fur coat on their body they are predisposed to skin cancer andinfections if they are shown a huge amount of sunlight.
