The first cat of this breed was born in 1987 in Rostov-on-Don (hence the name: sphinx above the Don River).

Cats of this breed have highly placed ears, which are slightly transparent to the light and curly whiskers. They can be found in many varieties of color. Cats are born with fine hair, which disappears before the cat is one year old. What is distinctive in sphinxes from other cats is their increased body temperature. They are very calm, friendly and people-oriented.
