Welcome to Barebabies Sphynx Cattery and thank you for visiting! 

We are Dr. Brian and Cynthia Bailey and are thoroughly devoted to our hobby of breeding, showing and loving Sphynx cats. We are a small cattery located in Northeastern Kentucky, Boyd County, directly across the Ashland Bridge from Ironton, Ohio.  Being located in the Tri-State area (Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia), we are 1.5 hours from Lexington, Kentucky; only 20 minutes from Huntington, West Virginia; 1.5 hours from Charleston, West Virginia; and 2.5 hours from Columbus, Ohio. Our cats are raised in our home with us; they are not in a separate house, building or facility. They are truly a part of our family.

We breed and show all colors of Sphynx. Why do we show our cats? First, because we enjoy the cat shows (we are addicted!) and the camaraderie of fellow exhibitors (it’s not just about cats after all). Secondly, it provides us an opportunity to see what the competition is like. And third, it gives us an unbiased critical assessment of our cats by judges who see many Sphynx in the course of their careers. This along with our own "look" will enable us to continually improve the breed. 

In our short existence, we have exhibited and received the status of a Quad Grand Champion Queen, "Gigi", and a Supreme Grand Champion, Stud, "Lambskin".  We would like to thank Ed Manning of Wizardgate for  these absolutely wonderful cats: Gigi, Didi, Lambskin and Annie.  

We currently have a brand new litter of five very cute Sphynx babies that are available for adoption.  There are four boys and one girl. Please visit our Available Kittens Page to view recent photos.

What is the difference between a pet quality or show quality cat/kitten? Usually, no difference. We breed every litter for show quality kittens. Our goal is the next litter is better than the last. If you desire a pet most likely you will also be getting a cat that is show quality. Not to say there are occasionally cats and kittens with flaws that make them truly pet quality and they are priced accordingly. If you are interested in showing one of our cats in the kitten/champion/alter classes, we will do our best to mentor your success. Please ask when you inquire.

We do not sell "whole" cats, that is cats with registrations that allow them to be used as breeders to pet homes.  All cats/kittens sold are eligible for registration with The International Cat Association, (TICA) & Cat Fanciers Association (CFA). However, we do sell breeder and or show kittens/cats to reputable established catteries in good standing with three references along with contact information from fellow Sphynx breeders who are actively involved in the Cat Fancy showing their cats.  We will assist in a mentoring program with folks interested in breeding and showing pedigree cats.

Kittens receive their basic inoculations before leaving our cattery for their new homes. We recommend you take your new Barebabies Sphynx kitten ASAP (within 72-hours) to your veterinarian for a well-kitten exam.  We do not let our Barebabies Sphynx kittens go until they are between 14 and 16 weeks of age and are spay/neutered.  A written health guarantee and contract is provided with each sale and available on our website for you to preview/print. We accept deposits through Paypal and major credit cards ($300 non-refundable for pets and $500 non-refundable for breeder and/or show kittens/cats) and will do our best to match you with a cat/kitten of your choice. 

Your contract may be faxed to (606) 324-0668. If you wish to make a payment by credit card, call our office at (606) 324-3668. We cannot reserve a kitten on "word only." A signed and dated contract along with a $300 deposit for pets and $500 for breeder and/or show kittens/cats will hold a kitten/cat. Shipping is available depending on the destination and more importantly the time of year. Our small regional airport in Huntington, West Virginia is an option.  However, we prefer, if possible, that you pick up your kitten/cat from us in person. Shipping costs and related risks are the responsibility of the buyer.

We do have a few requirements of future owners of our cats. We ask that the cat/kitten never be de-clawed, always receive excellent medical attention, the cat will be indoors only, the home environment is friendly and accepting of a feline (no threatening animals) and the home will be permanent and the cat will never be given or sold to a research facility or animal shelter. We will accept a kitten/cat back if the home is unable to maintain a healthy living environment. There are no refunds given in that event. Sphynx are very loyal devoted kittens/cats, looking for a lifelong relationship. We do reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone we feel would violate our contract and the above documentation.

If we have peeked your interest in our handsome and lovely Sphynx kittens/cats, then we encourage you to call (606) 329-9284 or E-mail nudecat@aol.com with your inquiries and we will get in touch as soon as possible.  We invite you to visit our web site further, "What is a Sphynx Page" to learn about the Sphynx breed.

We thank you for allowing us to assist in adopting a special Barebabies Sphynx kitten for you to love.
