Food

Since sphynx cats lack fur, they burn extra energy to keep their body temperature steady at 103°F. To support this metabolic demand, they require a protein-rich diet with real meat as the first ingredient. A good wet food option is Holistic, which lists turkey and chicken liver upfront. For dry food, Canidae and Wild Cat fit the bill, and Purina Beyond checks the “real meat first” box in both wet and dry varieties.

Kittens and nursing moms need specialized nutrition, so Royal Canin’s Babycat formula is a trusted go-to for those growing babies. All our cats have round-the-clock access to dry kibble, and we top off their nutrition with wet food twice daily.

Cats thrive on routine, especially when it comes to food. Abrupt dietary changes can upset their digestion, sometimes with messy results. To ease the transition to a new food, start by mixing a small amount into the old one, gradually increasing the ratio over several days. Done slowly, your cat won’t even notice the switch—and their tummy will thank you for it.
