People often ask me what type of food and litter I recommend for Sphynx cats. In my opinion, it all comes down to personal preference and what works best for each individual cat. Over the years we have experimented with lots of food and litter and now have our “go-to” brands that we use exclusively. I have compiled a list of our favorite brands along with the pictures and information on where to find these products. I hope this is helpful! 🙂

 

FOOD

 

 

NULO Chicken cat and kitten kibble

 

This is our favorite kibble for our cats and kittens. The kibble is small enough for adults and kittens.

We purchase it at PetsMart.

Grain free products work best (in our experience) with Sphynx.

Nulo comes in a variety of flavors and package sizes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NULO Canned food

This is our “go-to” canned food to wean our kittens to. They like the taste and it is easily digestible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Applaws kitten canned food

Our older kittens enjoy the flavor and consistency of this canned food. It has chunks of chicken and tuna. This is especially good for picky eaters!

Found at PetsMart and available in multi-packs and single cans

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merrick Back Country grain free

 

These are little single serving pouches for our adults. They love them. The cats enjoy rabbit, duck, turkey and chicken

Found at PetsMart

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LITTER

 

 

Pellet Bedding/Litter

This is one of the newest products we have started using in place of traditional litter. It handles odor well and is cheap enough to just throw out after a couple of days. You can find it at most feed stores. We buy ours at Tractor Supply. PetsMart also makes a similar product

 

 

 

 

 

Blue Buffalo Naturally Fresh Walnut Litter Multi-Cat

 

There are advantages and disadvantages to using walnut litter. For the kittens it is a great “training” litter. It is non-toxic and will not harm the kittens should they decide to taste it. The litter does not produce a lot of dust which is nice, but it does not have a lot of odor control (in my experience). Once the kittens are older, and for my adult cats, I generally mix this litter with Fresh Step, to help with odor control. The walnut litter helps keep the dust down. I recommend this type of litter for allergy sufferers due to the low litter dust.

 

 

 

Ear cleaner 

This is found at PetsMart. Any generic ear cleaner will work.
