One of the most unusual and recognizable cat breeds. These hairless beauties win hearts with their exotic appearance and friendly nature. The breed became popular due to its uniqueness and low maintenance requirements.

Donskoy Sphynx —

The Donskoy Sphynx originates from Russia, specifically from Rostov-on-Don. The breed’s history began in 1987 when a local resident found a hairless cat named Varvara on the street. It was later discovered that the lack of fur was due to a natural genetic mutation. Varvara became the foundation of the breed, and her descendants started the development of the Donskoy Sphynx. The breed was officially recognized in 1996.

The Donskoy Sphynx is a medium-sized cat with a strong, muscular body. Their skin is soft and velvety, which can be completely hairless or covered with a light fuzz. The Donskoy Sphynx has large, almond-shaped eyes and large, widely set ears. Coat colors vary widely, from solid to spotted and marbled patterns.

Donskoy Sphynxes are known for their friendliness and sociability. They are very attached to their owners and enjoy spending time in their company. These cats are playful, curious, and easily get along with children and other animals. Despite their activity, they also appreciate warmth and comfort, often settling on laps or under blankets.

Caring for a Donskoy Sphynx has its own specifics. Their skin requires regular cleaning because it tends to produce natural oils. The cat should be wiped with a damp cloth or bathed once a week using a mild shampoo. Due to the lack of fur, Donskoy Sphynxes are sensitive to cold, so it is important to monitor the indoor temperature and provide them with warm beds or clothing. Their diet should be balanced, considering their active lifestyle.
