They are really hairless cats. They are not TRULY hypoallergenic to all people tho, most people are allergic to an enzyme in cat spit, or cat dander, which sphynx cats can still have, so people with very severe allergies might still be bothered by them. Myself and my live in boyfriend both have cat allergies and don't have a problem with them at all tho. Sphynx have to be bathed semi regularly anyways, so I imagine that probably washes away any residual cat spit or dander before it has a chance to get concentrated enough to affect us. wiping them down with a baby wipe or damp cloth more often would likely eliminate any possibilities of problems. But if you're interested, You would probably just wanna do a search for breeders in your area and go visit some to make sure they don't bother your allergies before buying one if you were interested.
As a breed they are VERY lovable and bond closely to their owners, but can be wary around strangers. They love to be held or swaddled in a blanket like a baby and will follow you like puppies around the house, and insist on sleeping with you. Mine will both walk on a leash as well
They ARE pricey tho, but many catteries will sell retired breeders (usually only a year or so old) for lower prices to good homes. I got one of mine this way (the white one) for only $450 and she is an absolute sweetheart, even if she DOES look like a chupacabra.
