A good list is
-a litter box (some people suggest 1 per cat + 1 extra)
-litter (I use SweatScoop)
-food and water dish
-a mat for under her dishes so they don't slide around
-I feed a good grain free cat food (Taste of the Wild) and 'premium' wet food (Wellness and Eagle Pack Holistic)
-I use SoftClaws nail caps or a scratching post/mat will also be good
-a bed
-some balls/stuffed mice toys
-a 'fishing wand' toy.

I took her straight to the vet after I acquired her. She got her first round of kitten shots, wormed, and her ears cleaned/medicated because she had ear mites.

Feel free to ask as many questions as you need Do you have a cat or a kitten?

I have an odd (okay, very odd) tip to share. Usually I buy clumping litter, but for those times I buy a non-clumping litter (I call them "crumbly" litters), I scoop with a non-slotted chef spoon (dedicated to cat care) in order to clear the litter better (see the pic below, the middle 2 would be good)

If you use a standard litter scooper with non-clumping litter, it can be frustrating.

Have you got any ideas where you are getting your kitty from? Maybe someone on here can put you in touch with a sphynx breeder.x

Yes, a carrier would be good. I use a cheap fleece blanket folded up in the bottom of mine for a cushion or an old towel would do as well. You may also want a harness & leash. I usually will put on Storm's harness then put her in the crate that way when we get to the vets or wherever we're visiting I can have a better hold on her.
