Protect your pet with Waggel.
Owning a Sphynx cat can be a little unnerving at first. You might wonder if these hairless cats need extra warmth, whether they feel chilly at night, or how you’ll handle vet bills for a breed that can be prone to certain health conditions.
You love your pet's cuddly, downy skin and quirky personality, but there’s that voice in your head asking how to keep them safe without any fur in sight.
It can all feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to get the right cover. Waggel is here to put your mind at ease.
What makes Sphynx cat insurance important?
The Sphynx cat breed is famous for its distinct lack of fur, yet this breed isn’t just unique to look at.
Beneath that velvety skin, Sphynx cats are prone to specific medical challenges, including HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and heart disease, which can be costly to treat.
A supportive pet insurance company helps you cover the cost of unexpected treatments so you can focus on cuddling your cat rather than worrying about vet fees.
Unlike cat breeds with thick coats, a Sphynx cat might need extra skincare to prevent sunburns and dryness, and pet insurance can help take care of any mishaps, too.
If you’d like to see how we handle claims, stories, and more about pet insurance, our short read about the ins and outs of pet insurance can help. We want to guide you every step of the way.
Common health concerns.
Many folks buy Sphynx kittens for their curious, extroverted personalities. However, with so much energy and such sensitive skin, they can develop issues related to their lack of fur.
While these hairless cats are not drastically fragile, they do require a consistent skincare routine, high-quality cat food, and regular vet check-ups to screen for any common health problems. Here are some typical concerns you should keep in mind:
Note: Costs are approximate and can vary based on location and specific veterinary practices.
Balance potential vet fees with the average cost of pet insurance for Sphynx cats of £14.00/month (as of March 2025). You can see that cat insurance premiums can be a good option to help protect against unexpected events.

How to care for your Sphynx cat day to day.
Make time for gentle baths each week, especially on those big ears and in skin folds. Our guide on how to bathe a cat includes easy steps to protect your cat’s delicate skin.
Provide a balanced diet as their quicker metabolism demands quality cat food. Sphynx cats are prone to weight issues if not fed correctly.
Keep them warm with snuggly blankets, especially if your home gets cold. They love human company and do not like to be left alone for long periods.
Build a routine that minimises stress, as health problems can be worsened by anxiety and repeated disruptions.
When you weigh up these day-to-day needs, remember that cat insurance can help when accidents or illness creep up unexpectedly.
