Truly Royal Treatment and the Perfect Cat!


We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Royal Velvet Cattery. We recently welcomed a gorgeous Sphynx kitten into our family, and the entire process was flawless—a true 5-star experience from start to finish.


Communication & Care: The team at Royal Velvet Cattery was incredible. Their communication was above and beyond, providing timely updates, photos, and detailed answers to all our questions. It's immediately clear that they prioritize the health and temperament of their animals. Our kitten is wonderfully socialized, affectionate, and arrived happy and healthy—proof of being extremely well-kept. Their dedication to breeding unique and specialized cats, including Lykoi and Devon Rex, speaks volumes about their expertise and passion.


Immaculate Transportation: The logistics of getting our kitten home were immaculate. The transportation was handled professionally, seamlessly, and with the utmost care for the kitten's comfort and safety. It was a completely stress-free experience for us.

We are extremely happy with Adra and Royal Velvet Sphynx where we acquired our male Sphynx, Max, about a month ago. We looked for quite a while around the country for the right cat, from a reputable and honest breeder, and he is absolutely wonderful. Not only is he beautiful and cute, but he is well socialized, brave, and full of personality. A pleasure from day one. Adra was wonderful throughout the process and was/and is always available to answer all of our questions. We are very very happy with Max and would recommend Velvet Sphynx and Adra highly!

Amazing breeder! She cares about the health of her babies (kittens/cats) above all else. She was always willing to answer a phone call, text messages or FB messages. My baby is perfect! I was afraid of scams, but she responded to all of my questions and welcomed me into her home when picking up my baby. She is the real deal!

We had an absolutely incredible experience adopting our chocolate Sphynx kitten! The entire process was seamless from start to finish, and they went above and beyond with their communication every step of the way. They kept us informed and answered all our questions, making us feel completely confident throughout the adoption. Even after bringing our kitten home, they continued to provide support, which we truly appreciated. Our new kitten is not only adorable but also so well-socialized and healthy. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to adopt!

Ive had 4 Devon Rex over many years and loved them all ( still rare in Ky) but Jolene is the best and easiest adoption ever. An absolute delightful monkey- loves my 2 older cats and is a constant source of entertainment. LOVE this little whirling dervish.

We just got our second kitten from Royal Velvet and have had the best experience twice now. I got my first sphynx over a decade ago and spent years trying to find a reputable breeder to get another and had no luck until I found Royal Velvet. We got our first kitten in February 2023 and just got our second a few days ago. Adra takes a lot of pride in her cattery! She’s so knowledgeable and helpful, always keeps you informed, and is very accessible if you ever have any questions. She regularly sends updates, photos, and even videos of your kitten, which I always loved and looked forward to. She also has a friends & family group for everyone who has one of her kittens, which I’ve found really helpful and also just enjoy seeing all the other cats! As a bonus, each of our kittens also came home with a really nice goodie bag! I can’t recommend this cattery enough—both of our babies are healthy and so beautiful! ♥️

Adra and her family were more than exceptional. Quick response times for any and all questions! It took an incredibly long time to find a reputable sphynx breeder as there are so many scammers out there. We are so happy to have found our perfect furless fur baby!

I cannot tell you enough how awesome Adra is with her kitties! I adopted my sphynx from her in December ‘23 and she has been so amazing every step of the way before and after the adoption. She is so caring with the kitties and she answers all your questions!!! I was so scared of scams but she is 100% the best breeder I’ve ever been in contact with. She’s always there to ask questions and to send update pictures to. She cares about the cats even months, and years later! I 10/10 recommend her if you’re looking! I can’t wait to get another one very very soon.

Royal Velvet Sphynx is the real deal! We were honored to bring home two Sphynx kittens and the process couldn’t have gone better!

December 2022

We lost our cat baby of 12 years in July 2022. A friend of ours had two Sphynx cats and told us about their wonderful temperament. Around Oct 2022 we started looking for our own Sphynx kittens. We were extremely concerned about scams Re: sphynx catteries so we were extremely cautious. I came across Royal Velvet and immediately reached out. Adra was super responsive and helpful. She eased all my concerns about it being a scam by providing everything I asked for. We put down a deposit pretty quickly for two little boys; received frequent updates, pictures and videos. Adra responded to any and all questions we had about our boys and their care (we had a lot since these are our first Sphynx cats). We picked them up on Dec 11 and they have been absolutely wonderful. They have wonderful temperaments- extremely social and affectionate. Very intelligent. Playful. We couldn’t have asked for two better kittens or a better experience with a cattery. I HIGHLY recommend Adra and Royal velvets. I wouldn’t look any further. Since we’ve had them, Adra has checked on them and continues to provide advice and answers any and all questions. So happy with our decision and our two new boys, Mars and Memphis.

My family is so thankful to have found Adra at Royal Velvet! From the beginning when we got in contact to after we got our sweet girl, she was so helpful, communicative, kind and truly cares. We are so in love with our sweet, Gaga and I couldn't recommend Adra and her business more! She not only breeds the cutest Sphynx's ever, they are genuinely the sweetest animals who you can tell have been loved on their entire life! One of our favorite things about this entire experience is how our kitty will reach over to kiss you and wants you to do it back and it shows how she is used to this, this speaks volumes to us as it's just proof of how much love these sweet kitties are all getting before they go their forever home- that means the world! As well as, she checks in on them too and we appreciate that so much. We can not recommend or thank Adra and her cattery more, you are guaranteed not only a sweet, beautiful kitten but a responsible breeder who will love on your kitty until they come home! Thank you so much! Trust us, you won't regret bringing one of these precious animals into your home from Royal Velvet!

Nadia Bennett

We have gotten two Sphynx cats from her and they are the best cats ever! She is such a great breeder and person! She will personally message you updates on the kitten you have chosen and sends pictures as they grow. She is also available to message if there is any questions and sends home a care package when you get a kitten. We definitely recommend her and are planning to get more in the future!

Phenomenal Breeder! Can't say enough good things about Adra! She is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. She provided me all the testing from the parents of my kitten. And even let us come to her home to see where our baby was coming from. Her home is very nice and her cats are beautiful and healthy. You can definitely see the love and passion behind what she does. You cannot go wrong by choosing her to get your baby sphynx from!

We purchased a kitten from Adra this past Fall and she has been the most purrrfect addition to our family! Luna has a great, fun-loving Sphynx personality and loves to cuddle and play with us. She even gets along with our little doggie. She everything we wanted in our new nakid. 

I was nervous to buy online (as we live In Louisiana and had to have Luna flown to us) but Adra was extremely helpful during the process and made me feel very comfortable with our purchase. You can tell she cares a lot about all of her cats.

Royal Velvets is an amazing cattery!!! Highly recommend! We adopted our Dobby and will be adopting our little Elliot in March! We have always received many pictures videos and updates! I love that she takes such amazing care of her babies... they are not just any breeder they truly love and care for their babies. I’m so glad they test for HCM each year as well. All kittens come spayed and neutered too with most of their vaccines as well. We could not be happier! Our little handsome Dobby has settled in so nicely and is such a love muffin!

What a dream! We made a very last minute decision to surprise our son with a kitten of his own this Christmas, and Adra was nothing short of accommodating. Her processes, pricing, and information on available kittens were extremely detailed and easy to find, which was much appreciated during our frantic last minute Christmas quest. As we awaited pickup, Adra remained communicative, texting details about vet visits, neuter, and lots of precious photos! The cherry on top was pick up day when she told me she had bathed him and had his bag packed 🥹


Adra provided all vet records, labs, and pertinent new kitty information upon pickup, as well as a goodie bag with toys, treats, collar, nail clippers, gloves for bath time, and a comfy blanket; the thoughtfulness and care she puts into her kittens and process is truly top tier.



Our family, especially our son, is totally obsessed with our newest little family member. He is completely gorgeous, well mannered, silly, playful, patient, and a cuddle bug. The love that went into him is totally evident. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to come to Adra and I can’t help but feel that we will be back!!

Purchasing our Devon Rex kitten from Royal Velvet was an amazing experience. I needed a hypoallergenic breed that was easy to take care of. The Devon Rex breed was perfect for us. I am allergic to cats in general, but I haven't had one allergic reaction since getting him. From the selection process to the pick up everything was so convenient. Everything was handled with his care so all we had to do was pick him up and bond with him. There is a lot of information on the website and she answered all of my additional questions. This was perfect for my busy life and transition into pet parenthood. I definitely recommend Royal Velvet for purchasing your kitten.

I Love this little cattery so much! I just adopted a sweet Lykoi baby from Adra and I could not be more in love!! You can absolutely tell that this baby was raised socialized and so so loved. Adra was so great, responded to all of my texts, answered all of my questions, and was incredibly informational. I will forever be a customer, and will be returning to get a sphynx baby in the future!

Renata Dalton

April 2025

We were very skeptical in purchasing a kitten online but from the initial contact, Adra reassured us at all times until the kitten pick up. We saw the kitten for the first time on a FaceTime call and Adra sent weekly photos and updates. Our kitten Miko arrived clean, with all injections, nutted, microchipped, and litter trained. Adra fulfilled all clauses of her agreement with us. I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for a sphinx. Her kittens are the best!

Alexis Seibers

I had an amazing experience with Adra. I was to scared of scammers and she reassured me she was not. I was added to her private page on Facebook with previous clients. They all were amazing and reassured me she was best. I’ve had my little Binx now for 2 weeks and I love him so much. He’s super healthy and my best friend.

James Adams

I recently had the pleasure of adopting a delightful Devon Rex kitty through Royal Velvet, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Adra was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly informative, guiding me through the entire adoption process with patience and expertise.


Adra took the time to answer all my questions and provided valuable insights into the unique characteristics of the Devon Rex breed. Her passion for these cats was evident, and it made me feel confident and excited about my decision to adopt.


The environment at Royal Velvet was warm and welcoming, making it clear that the well-being of the animals is their top priority. I felt supported throughout the entire process, which made bringing my new fur less friend home all the more special.


I highly recommend Royal Velvet to anyone considering adopting a pet. Thank you, Adra, for making this experience so memorable and for helping me find my new best friend!

The absolute best breeder on the planet. My beautiful girls walked into my house and heart like they’d been there all their lives. They are the sweetest and most loving kitties I have ever had and that reflects on how well they were raised from birth. I 100% recommend this wonderful Cattery to find your new best friend(s)!!

Thank you Royal Velvet, I'm in love with my new baby!!! Adra kept me informed through the whole process and answered any questions I had immediately, and I received photos which I really appreciated!

I would give this business a hundred stars if I could. This was the first experience I’ve had purchasing a devon rex cat, and I wouldn’t do business with anyone else. For the price you pay for the cat it is 100% worth it, the owner is extremely generous with everything you receive along with your cat and takes such good care of them. We love our Ziggy.

Megan West

I am beyond happy with Royal Velvet. I adopted a beautiful female Devon Rex kitty. Adra was so easy to work with, sent me updated pictures throughout, and made sure I had everything I needed before I brought my new baby home. I was impressed with how well socialized she was; really not having any adjustment period once she was home. It was very evident how well she had been taken care of and loved on. 😻

Crystal Nicole Long

I had an amazing experience getting my Sphynx kitten from Royal Velvet. He came extremely well socialized, loving, litter trained, and happy. I was updated along the way and my questions always answered. Adra was super responsive from the beginning until the end. I appreciate the health scans that are necessary for this breed and all of the vet records that came with the kitten made my first appointment super breezy. Thanks Royal!

After losing my Maine Coon, Lion-o, Lord of the Thundercats, last fall I began looking for a different type of breed for my next kitten. While researching I stumbled upon the “werewolf cat” Lykoi. Their unique look and personality were perfect. When I was ready, I got into contact with Pantheon Sphynx, Cornish Rex & Lykoi and they were wonderful! However, their current litter did not have the color of the kitten I was interested in. Graciously, they contacted Royal Velvet who had the ideal little wolf! I am thankful and it has been a fantastic experience. Royal Velvet provided answers to my questions in quick order, provided updates, and helped bus him to me (8-hour travel time). He came healthy and within a day he was already feeling at home and craving attention. I would recommend Royal Velvet for the breed.

Kristen Thomas

March 2023

I have always wanted a sphynx, but the timing had to be right. While searching for a breeder and finding Adra’s website I knew she was who I was going to go with. She was quick to respond from the very beginning. The entire process was flawless, personal, and simple. She goes out of her way to make you feel like you already know your baby before you even bring him/her home. My baby boy could not be sweeter or more affectionate. In my opinion, there is not a more Purrfect cat. He makes the best addition to our family which includes 4 kids and 2 dogs. He gets along with everyone. This is all Adra and how she cares for her cats and their litters. I promise you will not regret choosing Royal Velvet. Best decision ever!

After losing our little bambino baby last year to HCM, we were looking for a quality breeder. With a recommendation from our vet did lots of research and vetting breeders, Luckily, we found “Royal Sphynx” by researching on TICA. Adra, was very responsive and shares latest scans and genetic results with all her clients. We are so happy to welcome this sweet little Ginger into our family. He’s healthy, happy and has the most loving disposition. If you’re looking for a quality breeder, that cares for all her babies, even those who have gone to their 4-ever home, Royal Sphynx is for you.

I can’t say enough as to just how phenomenal of a cattery Royal Velvet Sphynx is. The love and passion Adra has for her cattery truly shows! She produces the most adorable most beautiful kittens with the best personalities. She handles them daily giving them so much love and attention. All her queens and kings are HCM and DNA tested. She goes above and beyond to produce healthy kittens! All her kitties are so spoiled with everything they need and beyond! She keeps her cattery super cleaned and disinfected daily to insure no diseases or sicknesses can effect the babies. She is so knowledgeable about the breeds. She always stays in touch with you andwering any questions you may have and steps you through the entire process. She always updates you by sending you pics and videos of your kittens as they grow! Adra is more then just a breeder, bc of her love, dedication and communication, she becomes apart of your family! We absolutely love our babies we got from Adra and feel so blessed to have several from her now! (You can’t just get one!) I would highly recommend Royal velvet sphynx to anyone!

Randy Gabrel

July 2022

I was looking for a Sphynx a little over a year ago. I was almost caught in a scam. Luckily, I was able to find Royal Velvet Sphynx and Devon Rex! Adra gave me references to call and check her out. Turns out, the veterinarian she uses is in my town! Everyone kept telling me about how much Adra loves her cats and how well she cares for them. Fast forward a few months, and I was blessed with my first ever Sphynx, Ivy! Fast forward a little more, and we now have our second Sphynx, Cosmo! Long story short, if you’re in the market for a Sphynx, call Adra. She is 100% legit. Not only that, but she is amazing as well. Very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions.

We’ve gotten 2 beautiful baby’s from Royal Velvet and the experience has been great both times. Both boys came to us happy, healthy and affectionate, which is most certainly attributed to Royal Velvets amazing care of their kittens. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Sphynx or Devon Rex.

Our “Ulo” is the biggest cuddler, has the cutest “meow” and is beautiful. AWESOME communication, very knowledgeable and honest. You can be rest assured you HAVE found the perfect cattery here with Royal Velvets. I truly can’t speak higher of her!
