I’m Jelena, the breeder behind JENAKS, a TICA- and GCCF-registered Canadian Sphynx cattery in East London, UK. My love for the breed began in 2010 when I got my first Sphynx, Apola. Today I actively show my cats with TICA and breed for health, affectionate temperaments and the classic Sphynx type.

All my breeding cats are screened annually for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist. My kittens are raised in my home and are typically ready to join their new families at 12 to 14 weeks, once they are fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered. Each kitten goes home with TICA registration, five weeks of insurance and a written contract that includes a two-year health guarantee covering genetic conditions, including HCM.

I offer lifelong support to my kitten families. If you’re considering a Sphynx, you’re welcome to meet me and my cats by appointment or come and say hello at a show.
