Skin & Hygiene Essentials
Sphynx cats need frequent ear care due to wax buildup. These wipes make it fast, gentle, and stress-free.
Cat Ear Wipes
Not every Sphynx tolerates baths—and some don’t need them as often. This waterless foam is my go-to for my female Sphynx who despises water and isn’t nearly as oily as my male. It keeps her skin clean without the trauma (for either of us).
