Hairless Cat Site – Information on breeds and helpful tips. How to choose, get, and raise a hairless cat. Useful care tips & common mistakes to avoid.

HairlessCat.org extensively covers the full scoop on all 7 major breeds of hairless cats – the Sphynx, Bambino, Peterbald, Levkoy, Donskoy, Dwelf, and Kohana.

You’ll benefit from the collective wisdom of many vets and from our experience of owning being owned by hairless cats so that you can become the best hairless cat parent on the third rock from the sun.

This site is for you if:
