Sphynx Cats & Kittens for Adoption in and around Edinburgh

As of 8 November 2026, no Sphynx cats are listed for adoption in and around Edinburgh on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

Yes, they need regular washing. The GCCF rates the Sphynx high maintenance, including regular bathing, because oils build up on the bare skin. Cats Protection says a vet can advise how often, as overbathing dries the skin. Ask the rescue what routine this cat is used to.

Only with care. The GCCF says Sphynx are indoor cats because they burn easily in the sun, and can go out under supervision in good weather, ideally on a harness or in an enclosed garden or run.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee, and Cats Protection says you can expect to pay £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, varying between its branches. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Sphynx on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "sphynx kittens for sale Edinburgh", the Sphynx cats here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In Scotland, Lucy's Law has banned the third-party sale of kittens under six months since 1 September 2021.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. At the large cat charities, fees for one cat are under £200: Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue.

Not right now: no Sphynx cats are listed in and around Edinburgh today, so there are no kittens either. Kittens do get listed, and rescues can tell you much more about an adult's character, so check back.
