Female Born Bald Peterbald Spayed Adult Cat Available

We have a pretty female Peterbald 2 year old cat available to a quiet home where she will be the only pet and where there are no young children.

She is a tortie point with white. She has blue eyes and her skin is white with large dark spots.  Her red spots have mostly faded away.

She wants to spend most of the day with her owner. She is a clingy, velcro cat who loves to sit in your lap for affection and will follow you all around the house.

Cowboy Troy is a 1 year old black male neutered Peterbald.  He is a rare born bald which means he was born with no hair and has never had hair at any point in time during his life.  He is also a little more high maintenance than normally furry domestic shorthair cats.

He will need his ears and eyes cleaned at least weekly because he has no hair protecting them.  He will need his nails clipped weekly to prevent him from cutting his skin with a sharp untrimned nail. He will probably need a bath or spot cleaning with pet wipes from time to time.

He will need to wear a tshirt or sweatshirt, close-fitting, not too long, allowing freedom of leg movement.  If  your house is too cool or drafty for you to run around naked all day and night, then it's the same for him. He will spend all his time sleeping under blankets if it's too cool or drafty in your house and he has nothing to wear for warmth.

He is a gentle, super sweet, sensitive, loving cat who wants to sit in your lap and spend time with you. He is also playful and talkative.  He is more calm and less active by comparison to some of the more hairy cats.  He will do best in a calmer, more quiet home where he gets lots of individual attention and affection.  He is an indoor only cat.

Features a rare colored, blue eyed pointed chocolate tabby.  3 kittens were born with hair and have lost down to suede very quickly. 1 kitten is a born bald- not in this  video. This mating was a very good combination for early hair losing. Some combinations produce kittens with such a slow hair losing effect that it can take up to 3 years to finally complete the action.

Photos of 7 Month Old, Rare Born Bald, Peterbald Kitten Available

Scout is a beautiful, rare Born Bald Peterbald kitten born on September 28, 2014.  A Born Bald is a kitten or cat, born with no hair at all and never grow any hair at any point of time in life.  His skin is very warm, soft and supple. Some Born Bald kittens can be smaller than others in their litter and need supplemental feedings to survive.  Scout is just as big and strong as all of the other kittens in his litter and he was able to nurse normally. He has not had any illnesses or problems ever since he was born.

Scout is just now released for a warm, loving, permanent home.  He was under review for breeding/show potential but was released when another kitten developed the specific attributes being looked for to proceed with in the future.  The Peterbald is still in a developmental stage because it has not been in existence for that long and it is not a naturally occurring type.  The type has been created by outcrossing to Oriental Shorthair so that desired features are added.  At the same time, features not wanted are also acquired, so generations of work may be required to develop the look that you are interested in.  Then the cat association may change the interpretation of the Standard without notification while you have been actively attempting to meet the interpretation that was in effect. This further complicates the work to develop the breed.

 

 

 

The Born Bald is exceptionally important in a breeding program because the super baldness will usually result in all the kittens being born as brush coat the very least.  This has been my personal experience with many various lines over the past 15 years. I have never had a straight coat kitten born when one of the parents was a Born Bald.  The only way you know for sure you are working with a Born Bald cat and not a cat that had hair at some point in time in it's life, is if you have possessed the Born Bald since birth.  Often an adult cat can be as hairless as a Born Bald but a hairless adult cat is not a Born Bald unless it has always been bald since birth.  Over time many cats that had hair at one time can become completely hairless- these are not Born Balds.

 

When working with a Born Bald, the one thing you don't know is how fast of a hair losing genetic effect it possesses or even if it possess the hair losing genetic effect.  The most important quality of the Peterbald is the hair losing genetic quality.  Sometimes a Born Bald might actually have no ability to produce kittens that are born with hair and lose it.  This particular type of Born Bald will only give heavy brush coats.  In that case, if a kitten is being kept from that particular Born Bald, it is really important to pick a mate for that kitten in the future who has a very strong and early hair losing effect.  Otherwise, you may just produce Brush Coat Cats forever.  Brush Coat Cats are not really Peterbald because they do not have the unique feature that identifies the Peterbald as a breed, ie the hair losing genetic effect.  Brush Coat Cats are cats born with a heavy brush coat or who grow a heavy brush coat and keep it for their life.  Well, that's a generality of course.

 

So basically, the Born Bald distinction from a cat that becomes hairless as an adult, is only important when you are a breeder and want to outcross and more quickly move down through the generations to obtain the features you are trying to develop in a future early hair losing kitten.

 

Born Bald kittens who are weak, underdeveloped at birth or need additional personalized assistance and care to live, are not the kind of Born Bald we would be looking for to use in our lines. We are interested in strong, healthy kittens to move forward with, whether they are Born Bald or not.

 

Scout has been neutered, litter box trained, vaccinated 3 times with a series of virus vaccines, dewormed, vaccinated for rabies, checked by a veterinarian, blood tested for FelV/FIV/HW and PCR tested for common Feline Upper Respiratory illnesses.  He will be delivered with written Health Record, written details of the FIP/Genetic Defect guarantees and the Form to Complete for 2 months of Free Insurance.  Because of how super expensive the medical procedures are to assure the health and condition of Scout prior to going home, his price is $900.  However, the risk of a buyer getting a kitten somewhere else that has not been properly and reputably readied for his new home, is the possibility of a sick kitten that can cost you thousands and lots of heartache.  

 

Scout is a very gentle, loving, sweet boy with a laid back, easy going personality.  He is a people loving, lap cat who will bond closely with his owner.  He will want a very special relationship with his owner and will not enjoy being just another cat in a large group of animals.  He is an indoor only kitten who was born and raised underfoot in our home.  His color is chocolate tabby but he looks more of a tan brown (not as light colored as the photos appear)

 

Because we have been in existence for 15 years, we have learned how to work with this breed, which is more complicated than most breeds due to the wide variety of coat types and the closeness to the breed origin created by inbreeding.  Many catteries work with the breed for a few years and then move on to something else. They may not have worked with their lines long enough to know if they have defects they should weed out. 

 

Email if you are interested in Scout. There is an Application Form to complete prior to meeting him.

Texann's 3 White Peterbald with Different Coat Types

Texann had 3 white Peterbald kittens that show some of the different coat types that this breed can have.  Since they are all the same color and from the same litter, it's easier to make comparisons without the distracting color or age difference interference.

The kitten on the far right as you look at the photo is a blue eyed straight coat Peterbald about 12 weeks old. This kitten does not carry the Peterbald gene and if mated to another straight coat Peterbald, would only produce straight coat kittens.  This kitten will never lose her coat and her coat will always stay this same consistency. 

If the Peterbald lines being used are pure for only Oriental Shorthair outcrosses, then this kitten would end up looking similar to a pet quality Oriental Shorthair.  However, most Peterbald have so many different breeds of cats as well as domestic shorthair in their pedigree from when the breed was first begun, that many straight coats may not be that close in texture and type to the Oriental Shorthair. 

The Peterbald kitten in the middle is an odd eyed brush coat.  He was born with a heavy wirey brush coat but has since lost enough fur to be a thiner short brush where the skin beneath is showing.  He may grow more fur or he may lose the fur he has now.  You never know exactly what coat a brush coat kitten will have as an adult until they are two and often three years of age. 

The peterbald kitten on the left as you look at the photo was born without fur.  However, since his birth, he's grown some fur points.  Fur points are soft velvety coat on head and legs/feet.  The tail could also have velvety fur, brush fur or no fur in that situation.  Then he has some slight soft downy hairs on his body if you look at him up close.

In this second picture, the brush coat is far left, straight coat is middle, and fur point is on the right.  It's much easier to see the differences in person than it is in a picture.  The pinkish color on the body is the skin tone showing through.  Often if a kitten is born hairless, the skin will be pink even though the kitten's fur would have been some other color.  The fur color may not be the same as the skin color.

If they move all around like this can you tell which one is which when they get through?

 

 

 

 

Brush Coat Red White Peterbald - Dimitri

Dimitri is a 7 month old brush coat red /white Peterbald kitten.  He's laid back and calm, with a relaxed personality.  He's very affectionate, loving and gentle.  He gets along well with all of my cats with his easy going ways.  He loves to sleep with you, to sit in your lap, and to be petted.  He loves to be by your side as much as possible. He probably weighs about 6 pounds right now so he may weigh 8 pounds as an adult.
