    Hairless cats do have certain health risks and need to be bathed regularly (once a week) In general I would advise you to not buy a specific breed, as they are more expensive and have more health problems than a general “house car” from the shelter

      Yeah, but a lot of people with a hairless cat have one because they want a cat but are allergic. For them a rescue isn’t really an option.

      For anyone who doesn’t have a good reason to need a particular breed of dog/cat, get a rescue instead.
