Behind IconicSX
UK Approved Sphynx Breeder  | Ethical Sphynx Cattery | Rare Odd-Eyed Sphynx Kittens

At IconicSX Cattery, our mission is driven by a profound love for animals, a passion for genetics, and an unwavering commitment to ethical breeding practices. Our goal is to preserve rare traits, prioritise the health and well-being of our Sphynx cats, and contribute to the understanding and appreciation of the Sphynx breed.

 

A Passion Born from Experience

 

For years, I hesitated to embark on the path of breeding. Some aspects of the breeding world did not align with my personal values, particularly when it came to prioritising health and ethics. However, as a cat owner, I struggled to find ethically bred, healthy Sphynx cats—especially those free from genetic concerns like the ALMS1 gene linked to HCM.

 

This challenge became my inspiration to create something different: a cattery built on high health standards, respect for the breed, and a commitment to preserving rare and unique genetic traits. My journey is rooted in a profound love for animals and a desire to offer what I couldn’t easily find—a responsible, ethical and transparent approach to breeding.

 

Our Passion for Genetics and Rare Traits

 

At IconicSX, we are deeply passionate about feline genetics and the preservation of rare traits, particularly the Dominant Blue Eye (DBE) gene. Our fascination with genetics has led us to actively participate in groundbreaking studies, such as the one led by Prof. Marie Abitbol, which defined and distinguished the DBE Celestial gene.

 

We also collaborate with leading universities and research institutions, contributing to advancements in feline genetics and health. These opportunities allow us to further our knowledge, contribute to scientific understanding, and ensure that our practices align with the latest research and best standards.

 

Education: A Lifelong Commitment

 

I believe that education never ends, which is why I participate in numerous courses and training programs to continually improve my skills and knowledge. I have worked with some of the best breeders in Russia specialising in the DBE gene, as well as learning from world-renowned institutions like PawPeds and Campus Felinarium. These resources ensure that I stay informed, ethical, and at the forefront of responsible breeding practices.

 

Breeding Rarely, Breeding Responsibly

 

At IconicSX, we believe in quality over quantity. We breed rarely and selectively, ensuring that each litter receives the utmost care and attention. Our focus is on raising healthy, well-socialised kittens with unique traits, placing them in homes that share our values.

 

Every adoption is guided by mutual trust and ongoing support. We are selective in choosing families for our kittens, ensuring they are placed with those who appreciate the commitment and responsibility of owning such a remarkable breed.

 

Our Cats Are Family

 

Our cats are more than just pets—they are beloved family members. Their unique appearance and affectionate personalities inspire us daily, reminding us of the importance of preserving and caring for this extraordinary breed.

 

A Commitment to the Feline Community

Our commitment to the feline  community extends beyond breeding and care. As the exclusive UK distributor of VetIMMUNE® PI, we work to bring innovative, science-backed solutions to support the health and well-being of cats and dogs. Collaborating with researchers  from the University of Tennessee, we strive to contribute to advancements in feline health.
