Frequently Asked Questions About Elf Cats

I have allergies… Will I be able to live with an Elf?

A majority of people with allergies are able to live with an Elf.  Approximately 50% of our kittens are placed in homes where allergies are an issue. It really depends on the individual, the severity of their allergies, and whether their environment is kept clean.  It is HIGHLY advisable to visit a breeder or Elf/Sphynx owner for a ‘test’ cuddle in order to give you some answers, but keep in mind some reactions take a period of time to occur.

What type of temperament do Elf’s have?

Elf’s are very intelligent breed of cat.  If they have bee properly socialized as kittens they are extremely friendly and people-oriented, to the point of following you around the house and waiting to be involved in everything that goes on.  They normally get along very well with other cats and dogs as long as the other animal is willing to accept them and proper introductions are made.  Children who have been taught to respect and appreciate animals are also quite compatible with Elf’s.  Many Elf’s are easily leashed trained and most of them love to ride in the car and to be included in your vacation travel.  They have an out-going personality and love attention, often times demanding it.

Do Elf’s need special circumstances to keep them from getting cold?

A general rule of thumb is to consider your comfort level.  If you are comfortable enough in your home to walk around naked then they are usually comfortable too.  If you are bundled up in a sweater or under the blankets to keep warm, an Elf’s would probably appreciate the same treatment.  If they do get chill an Elf will seek out a place to get warm such as on top of the TV or computer monitor, under the covers on a bed, in a sunbeam, or in a covered pet bed.  Many people keep (pet) heating blankets or pads, wrapped with a blanket, turned on low so their Elf can find a warm spot if needed. You can also find heated pet beds which most Elf’s love.

Why do Elf’s need a bath?

Elf’s must be bathed regularly because they do not have hair to absorb the natural oils on their skin.  Most breeders acclimate their kittens to bathing at an early age, so once you get the hang of it, bathing them is a simple process.  Some of the actually enjoy the warmth of the water and will join you in the tub….uninvited.

How do you bath an Elf?

There are many different ways to bath an Elf, from sponging them off in the kitchen sink , to wiping them with a warm washcloth, to soaping them up in the bathtub.  Over the years, we have found the best way is this–run enough warm water in the bathtub that would just touch the cat/kitten to their mid section of their body while standing (Usually 4 to 6 inches).  By using this amount of water, the Elf isn’t able to move around as easily as they would in shallow water, you can also throw in some little plastic cat toy that float and they will help keep the Elf distracted.  Always run the water before you bring your Elf into the bathroom as to avoid scaring it. You can also put a small hand towel in the bathtub to give the Elf a less slippery surface to stand on, but I don’t always find it necessary.  Place the Elf in the tub and wet its back with your hands.  Keep one hand on the Elf at all times to help steady it and to provide reassurance.  Place a towel over the toilet seat and remove your wet Elf and place on the toilet, Place a small amount of shampoo on a lufa wash cloth or bathing gloves  and begin to lather the cat all over, paying special attention to the armpits and between the toes….  I don’t lather past the base of the ears to keep soap from getting in it’s eyes, ears or mouth.  Wipe the Elf’s face with a warm washcloth making sure to clean the wrinkles on it’s head and around it’s mouth.  Once you feel you have thoroughly cleaned the cat’s body all over,place back in the tub and rinse.  Make sure you get all the soap off from under the cat’s neck and armpits or the residue that’s left will cause the Elf to itch.  Next pick up and wrap in a warm towel (they LOVE a warm one just out of the dryer!).  While still wrapped in the towel you can clean their ears, clip their nails, and clean the claw sheaths.  Once you are done give your Elf a treat and lots of love.

How often should I bathe an Elf?

This really depends on the individual cat.  Some Elf’s produce more oil than others and would need to be bathed more frequently, while others produce little to no oil and can go several weeks to months without a bath.  As a rule I would suggest a monthly bath as a starting point and you can alter the schedule to fit the needs of your particular Elf.

I thought cats hated water…  won’t my Elf be frightened of a bath?

Reputable breeders bathe their Elf/Sphynx kittens from an early age so they are accustomed to a bath once you bring them home.  Many Elf/Sphynx seem to like the water and will even sit on the side of the tub when their humans are bathing, or play in the water left in the shower when you are done.  If your Elf happens to be timid at bath time, you should be reassuring, while also making it clear to the kitty that he will have a bath…. then give lots of love and a treat when you’re done as a reward for putting up with this necessary part of Elf grooming.

How do you trim the nails of a Elf?

You can buy nail trimmers made especially for cats at most pet stores. Make sure they are sharp, as a dull trimmer will splinter the nail instead of making a clean cut.  To begin, hold the cat’s paw in your hand and press the top of the toe until the claw is extended.  If the claws are light colored you can see a ‘pink’ area inside, you can clip up to this ‘pink’ area, but not into it which will cause pain to the cat and bleeding.  If the claws are dark enough that you can’t see this ‘pink’ area, it’s best to only clip off the sharp tip at first, and with experience you will learn how far up you can cut with out hurting your Elf.

What is the black ‘gunk’ an Elf gets at the base of it’s claw and how do you clean it?

The black ‘gunk’ is created by a combination of the natural oils produced in the skin, dirt caught between the toes when walking around, litter, dust etc.  You can remove it by extending the cat’s claw and wiping the dirt away with a Baby Wipe purchased at Target or Walmart… This specific brand has lanolin in it.  For some reason lanolin removes the ‘gunk’ much easier than anything else I have tried.

How do you clean inside the ears of an Elf?

Put several drops of ear cleaner, I like Wax-O Sol you can find at www.entirelypets.com ,  into the cat’s ear and massage the base to work it down thoroughly.  You can place a piece of cotton in the ears so the cleaner doesn’t get all over everything when the cat shakes it’s head.  Take the cotton and wipe out as much wax as you can get with it.  Use cotton swabs to get what you can’t reach with the cotton ball, be very careful inserting the cotton swab in the ear, and keeping it at a vertical angle.  Only wipe what you can see, and do not try to make sweeps or jabs into crevices to avoid damaging the ear.  I always show my pet buyers how to do this, but if you are unsure please have a vet show you how to clean their ears.

What should you feed an Elf?

Elf’s, like all cats, should be fed a high quality diet, nutritionally complete diet made for felines. At Lluvatar Elf Cats, we feed raw appropriate food for obligate carnivores. this means that your cat was built by Mother Nature to get her nutritional needs met by the consumption of a large amount of animal-based proteins (meat/organs) and derives much less nutritional support from plant-based proteins (grains/vegetables). It means that cats lack specific metabolic (enzymatic) pathways and cannot utilize plant proteins as efficiently as animal proteins. If you choose not to feed raw I recommend Blue Buffalo WILDERNESS dry food found at Pet Smart.  We have tried other high cost foods but found them to be too rich, causing unpleasant gas, and runny stools.  For wet food we feed Authority.

What colors do Elf’s come in?

Elf’s come in all colors and patterns found in the cat world including pointed, mink sepia, tabby and bi-color.  A cat’s color isn’t just in ti’s fur but goes completely down to the pigmentation of its skin as a Sphynx/Elf easily demonstrates.

What is the lifespan of an Elf?

Elf/Sphynx have a normal lifespan and don’t suffer from any special health problems.  Although, as in any breed, there are unfortunate early deaths, many Sphynx have enjoyed a full lif into their late teenss or twenties.

What is the average size of an Elf/Sphynx cats?

Generally adult females weigh 6-8 pounds while males are 8-10 pounds, however this can vary to some extent either way.

What causes Elf’s to grow fuzz?

Much depends on the gentic background of the particular cat, no cat is truly hairless but hormone changes may sometimes cause your Elf to grow a small amount of fuzz as it matures (for whole cats). Early spay/neuter will lessen the chances of this happening.  It may come and go with the changing season or remain intact.  Mother Nature will often have the last word.

Why Are Kittens So Expensive
While BYB’s and pet shops may make money selling kittens, most legitimate breeders do not even cover their own costs. It’s a very expensive hobby. Most of us WISH we could just break even, but can’t. It may look like a gold mine to you, but let’s go through the expenses involved and you’ll see that turning a profit would be a rare event for a breeder. We do this for love of cats, not money (and most of us hide the REAL expenses from our spouses and friends!). Responsible breeders are looking to improve the breed and sells PET kittens from litters to offset the cost of helping with their practice in the betterment of the breed, improving their cattery and showing their cats!

As an example, buying a top show quality female, with breeding rights may cost $2000 to $3500. My breeder cats have excellent bloodlines, temperament, type and HEALTH. To produce beautiful and healthy babies it starts from their parents.

Maintenance, Supplies, HCM Heart Scans, Blood Tests and Veterinary Care generally cost sphynx breeders about $1000 per cat the 1st year. By the time a cat is first bred, at about a year old, the breeder will have invested several thousand dollars.Top Quality Food/Vitamins and kitty litter per month=$600 (just for adults)Food and milk replacement per litter ($400) (a month)Kitten shots cost breeders about $50 per kitten – and that’s if there are NO problems to be treated. The slightest illness can cost $200-$1000 (per kitten).Kittens stay with me for 3 months or so, and have to be fed top quality food, cuddled, and cleaned-up-after for all that time. I am also available 24/7 to anyone who has questions or concerns about their cat/kitten.

Separate, special areas of the house are customized for the cats to use as a playroom, stud room and nursery – (Pictures under playroom) cattery set-ups cost $23,000 to build. Heaters run in every room to keep our nurseries/playroom warm.. Electric bills have well exceeded $1000 a MONTH!! If all goes well, fat healthy kittens are born – but there are always the disasters, such as C-sections that run $1500 and up. And sometimes, after all the investment is made, a cat is found to be infertile:(

Good breeders make a huge investment into “doing it right”, by having the right breeding cats and facilities. Both pet shops and BYB’s reap profits, by cutting corners (not having quality cats as parents, not showing, not keeping kittens until the proper age or providing proper prenatal and kitten veterinary care) – and then they charge the same price as the reputable breeders. And those caring, professional breeders make huge sacrifices in their personal lives, and shed lots of tears, in trying to create succesful breeding programs. BYB’s are “one hit wonders” – they take your money and are gone. Most legitimate breeders are going to be pretty darn annoyed if you neglect to send photos and check in once in awhile!

True breeders deserve more credit than the general public gives them. The public, unfortunately, is only inspired by the negative side, the Back Yard Breeder and the horror stories on DateLine. Those situations are very accurate but the good and responsible breeders get caught up in all the myth and unpleasantries and therefore get looked down on. There is no real reward system set up for lifetime breeders, no gold watch and certainly no pension. The greatest reward we ever have is seeing a wonderful kitten, that is a credit to the breed and a wonderful pet, live a long and happy life with someone that also respects the breed and animals life in general. They also appreciate the decades of endless time that goes into consistently producing animals that breed true to type.
The costs associated with proper nutrition, vet care, health testing, outcrossing, and showing all are reflected in the price.  Don’t be fooled into a ‘bargain’ because really you end up with what you pay for. There are numerous ethical and wonderful Sphynx breeders available, but sadly there have also popped up some that care more about their own pocket-book than the welfare of the kittens/cats and their potential owners.

Be very careful and wary if you see bargain prices; these kittens usually cost hundreds more in vet bills, kittens come with no contracts or health guarantee/or the breeder falls off the face of the earth once the kitten is in your possession. As you read above there is a lot involved in producing healthy/quality sphynx kittens. All good breeders provide contracts which protect you and the cats welfare both and are happy to discuss with you the progress of the cat for years to come.

***FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR KITTENS PLEASE NO CHILDREN UNDER 10 yrs OLD VISITING THE BABIES. The kittens are still very tiny and fragile at this age***

*PURCHASING A NOCOATKITTY/Lluvatar SPHYNX or ELF KITTEN FOR BREEDING*
Nocoatkitty/Lluvater only sells babies with breeding rights to reputable breeders or persons wanting to become a reputable breeder who is willing to let us mentor them. Persons must be willing to show, HCM scan cats, provide areas in their home for stud, nursery, and quarantine, be financially stable and breed for the betterment of the sphynx breed:-D

We do not sell kittens for breeding to persons that….

Just want to breed once for fun. Because they think they can make their investment back on the kitten that they bought. (because you wont)

So their children can experience the miracle of birth. What most people fail to understand is that though the experience can be amazing at times don’t forget about the heartbreaking experiences when a baby dies in your arms after days and even weeks of trying your best to keep it alive. Mother nature can be very unpredictable. And lets also not forget you can take your children to the local pound so they can witness a healthy, adoptable animal being killed with a lethal injection or  gassed to death, so they’ll understand exactly how 50% of those ‘miracles’ end up:-(  We take our kittens back at any age if their family can no longer care for the cat/kitten…. ARE YOU WILLING TO DO THIS? Or just add to the overpopulation?

For their own financial gaining.

And all the other unethical reasons…so please do not even ask!  Most people cannot live with or tolerate the behavior associated with unsterilized cats. Males tend to get very aggressive and spray, and females will call 24/7. Please be sure this is one of the things that you consider before your decision to breed!

WE ALSO DO NOT SELL BREEDING RIGHTS TO PERSONS THAT HAVE NEVER OWNED A HAIRLESS CAT. I feel you should own an animal (of any breed) as a pet before you decide you want to breed that animal.There are to many Kittens/Cats in shelters that need homes and we will not participate in making the problem worse. We breed to better the sphynx breed and to strengthen the bloodlines of these amazing cats.
Kittens are sold under a strict spay/neuter contract and must be fixed by 6 months of age. Papers will not be released until proof from licensed vet that the kitten has been sterilized. Before then kitten is still registered to breeder. We also have the right to sterilize any pet kitten prior to he/she leaving our home.

THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY WE REQUIRE SPAY/NEUTER….FOR ONE, UNFIXED FEMALES CAN GET A DEADLY DISEASE CALLED PYOMETRA (PLEASE LOOK IT UP IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS). SPHYNX ARE VERY PRONE TO THIS!  AND MALES UNFIXED TEND TO SPRAY…UNFORTUNATELY MOST BOYS THAT SPRAY END UP IN SHELTERS ALL BECAUSE THEIR OWNER THOUGHT IT WASNT NECESSARY TO GET THEM FIXED:-( I ALSO DO NOT WANT ANY OF MY KITTENS IN THE WRONG HANDS WITH SOMEONE WHO BREEDS THEM BECAUSE THEY THINK IT IS CUTE TO HAVE KITTENS THEN REALIZES THEY ARE IN WAY OVER THEIR HEAD! UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TAKEN IN MANY KITTENS (OF ALL BREEDS) FOR THIS VERY REASON! TAKING CARE OF BABIES IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND FINANCIALLY EXHAUSTING. IF YOU THINK HAVING JUST ONE LITTER WOULD BE FUN…. I SUGGEST YOU VISIT YOUR LOCAL SHELTER AND VOLUNTEER FOR A FEW DAYS:-) NOT STERILIZING YOUR CAT ALTERS THEIR PERSONALITY DRAMATICALLY……MALES TEND TO BECOME AGGRESSIVE AND AGITATED  AND FEMALES  WILL START CALLING 24/7 AND CHARGING AT THE DOORS TO TRY AND GET OUT.   I MUST RECEIVE NOTICE FROM YOUR VET THAT KITTEN WAS STERILIZED… NO PAPERS WILL BE RELEASED AND BREACH OF CONTRACT WILL BE ENFORCED IF THIS IS NOT DONE.

Our Elf Breeding Program

There is a new meow in town …and it goes by the name Elf cat. The excitement over this new look of the Sphynx is international; as two of the most personable, distinct species of cat are married together creating a cat that is different from each contributing foundation breed.  When combined, there is no harm to the health or well-being of the resulting Elf cat.

Contributing foundation breeds include the Sphynx, known for its unique hairlessness and personality, and the American Curl, known for its signature curled ears.  Permissible out-crosses include Domestic Short Hair, which is any cat belonging to Felis Domesticus not registered as a recognized breed.  Elf cats have been researched, developed and founded by Karen Nelson from House of Falmari at www.elfcats.com .  A strong foundation has been built utilizing many bloodlines from numerous Elf Foundry Breeders located in Arizona, California, New Jersey, Idaho, Michigan, Illinois, and Georgia.

The Elf cats most distinctive features are it’s hairlessness and curled ears.  They are extremely intelligent, have a sturdy, athletic build, and are as loving and cuddly as lap dogs.  Sociable and highly inquisitive, they love to be the center of attention.

Cat enthusiasts throughout the world are lining up, awaiting the arrival and availability of these incredible Elf cats.  Currently being registered as an experimental New Trait with The International Cat Association (TICA), Elf cats are quickly catching the eyes of the Cat Fancy. Half Elfs resulting as non-standard kittens will be sold at prices in accordance to the respective out-crosses.  Please welcome the return of the Elf into mans world…

MY STORY

So the question comes up all the time… “How Did You get Into Breeding Sphynx”? So here is my story.

Growing up I had severe allergies to cats and dogs. I always LOVED cats… yes even my first word was cat! But, I had cats anyways. I grew up with a domestic shorthair named Whiskers (how original) who lived well up until she was 18. I also had a main coon named Zima and Big Leo another domestic shorthair. I remember going to school with eyes bulging out of my head itchy and red from sleeping with the cats even though I knew the end result. I loved all animals,  and I was always the first to bring home any animal that was sick, abandon, or hurt and nurse them back to health. Just a passion that was always there:-D

So when I finally moved out on my own I brought my maine coon with me. I felt bad while I was at work her being all alone but could not imagine bringing another hairy cat into my home as even as years passed my allergies never got any better. So after researching “hypoallergenic” breeds I stumbled on the sphynx. OMG I had to have one!!! After never really purchasing a cat from a breeder I had no idea what to look for so I just grabbed the first one I was able to get immediately! She was a blue and white bicolor and I had her name already picked out “Chloey”. She had to be shipped to me as the breeder lived on the West Coast… I was sooooo excited counting down the 7 days I had to wait for her arrival! 2 days before Chloey was to be shipped I got a call from the breeder and the woman explained my kitties mom was diagnosed with a horrible disease HCM. OMG what is HCM??? She said I could have the kitten or she would return my money as she couldnt guarantee the health of this baby as it is sometimes a genetic issue. I could not imagine giving up a kid because he/she may develop a disease so I took the girl anyways. I did my research and decided to have my kittens heart scanned for this HCM. I never imagined she would have it as she was a CRAZY playful kitty!! So we went to see the cardiologist as soon as she turned 8 months and to my surprise she was diagnosed with HCM. It felt like my world was falling apart:-( How can my baby have this?? Why wasnt she the lucky 50% of the litter?? So we put her on medication for her heart that the Doc prescribed and I took her home. Well that was 8 yrs ago and luckily my Chloey is still with us today.

If you have a sphynx then you know sphynx are addictive. So I went online and decided to purchase a little boy. He was a beautiful blue and white sphynx. Chloey needed a naked friend (well that was my excuse to get another). So Jakes arrival was finally here YIPEE!!! He came with a cute little sweater and had the sweetest expressions on his face. OMG we bonded immediately! Chloey and Jake also became friends immediately! After about a week I noticed Jake was not eating much and laying around quite a bit. I went to pick him up and I felt his heart beating out of his chest  and I knew something was wrong. I called my vet immediately and ran him right over. My vet said he had a level 4 heart murmur (most likely from a birth defect) and there was not much they can do for a kitten so young with such a high level, and he would most likely die:-( I burst into tears and held Jake tightly praying this not to be true. I brought him home and never left his side. Jake came to work with me everyday, he went grocery shopping, to the bank, to the movies, and he even came in the bathroom with me (Oh yes NEVER left my side). I called the breeder and she said heart murmurs were normal in kittens..even a level 4. Ok I am no expert but this cannot be true! As the days passed he became very skinny and I had to syringe feed him morning, afternoon, and night. Oh please dont leave me Jake… be strong we can beat this. He slept right next to me every night under the covers and on a peepee pad as he lost all control of his bladder. But, I didnt care:-( I took him to University Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital to run some tests as I would do anything… just dont let this baby die. I was told the same…”There is nothing to do for him”. My world was falling apart again but this time no meds or love could help this poor baby. Unfortunately Jake’s body had enough and he crossed the rainbow at the age of 5 months. And to this day I will never forget that poor little guy. Why did he have to go so soon?  But in the time he was here with me he learned what it was to be loved and he is now in a place where he can be a happy healthy kitten forever.

So a few months after Jakes passing I decided it was time to get poor Chloey a friend again. My Maine Coon was old and didnt want to be bothered. But, am I setting myself up for heartbreak again? Well after a ton of thought I decided to get Jasmine. She was a beautiful solid black little sphyxn girl. So the day came to pick her up from the airport. I couldnt wait for the airlines to hand her over to me!!! I finally get the carrier and run out to my car with her to let her stretch a bit from the long flight. I open the kennel and I smell this awful smell… what the heck is that I ask myself? So I pull her out and her poor eyes were glued shut with pus and the tips of her ears looked scabbed. She also had scars all over her body….and OMG the sweater on her was filthy along with the blanket she was laying on. I rush her home and get her cleaned up as best as possible and run her to the vet. She is VERY sick and had to be put on eye drops and antibiotics. I bring her home and do everything the vet says but she is still so sick. Oh please not again…I give up. What is wrong with this breed??? Or is it my bad luck? Well after $4000 in vet bills and 24/7 care 8 months later my Jasmine finally got better. And Jasmine is still here with us today healthy and happy!

Well after my horrible experiences one would ask “Why the heck would you breed”. Well I wanted to be better than the breeders that sold me those cats and make this breed better. I wanted to learn everything I could about sphynx, and unlike the many breeders I contacted and asked questions to with no reply when I was so desperate for help… I want to answer everyones questions… even the questions asked by people who didnt even purchase a kitten from me. If someone has a question about their cat I will give the best advise I can. I do not care whether their cat came from me or not.  I want to give back to the breed I fell so in love with and the breed who gives me so much happiness. I researched everything about sphynx down to their toenails. Oh yes I was crazy, I read entire veterinary textbooks from cover to cover. I was determine to do this right and produce the healthiest cats I could. Well things were uphill from there….I found an amazing breeder in Europe that agreed to import a sphynx female here to use in my breeding program. When I got my girl she was big and healthy and had the biggest blue eyes you ever seen. That is my Vanessa. I then imported another female here to the US and named her China. Another beautiful healthy girl. I was so excited and grateful to finally find breeders who actually did right for our breed!! Well it was time for my stud…. and Jax came along not long after. He was a big muscular blue mink male. I love them all and everyone was healthy and happy.  I continued to do my research and text book reading for the next few months and now it was time for my China to be bred. OMG I am so excited and scared at the same time. Well China gave birth 64 days after she was bred and I welcomed 7 healthy beautiful kittens in the world as the first Nocoatkitty generation:-)

So this is my story. Everyone starts their breeding programs for one reason or another. Mine was to make better of our amazing breed we call sphynx for Chloey, Jake, and Jasmine. Though I know I cannot play God (even though I try my hardest) I am 100% devoted to the sphynx/Elfs and have a passion that drives me to produce the best sphynx kittens I can!
