What is a Selkirk Rex?


"The Cat in Sheep's Clothing"

One of the newest naturally occurring breeds, this curly cat originated in Wyoming in 1987. The Selkirk Rex is a healthy and sturdy breed. They are incredibly patient, loving, and tolerant. They are very laid back as adults but maintain their playfulness. This breed is available in both LONG and SHORT hair varieties. As this is still a new breed, it has to be out-crossed with allowable breeds that will enhance the Selkirk Rex standard. We use our British Shorthair cats in our Selkirk Rex breeding program. Kat Magic was instrumental in having the breed accepted for champion status in the Canadian Cat Association (CCA). Curly cats are what you would see at a cat show, but straight -coated cats are also available.  These cats look very similar to a British Shorthair.  These are pure-bred cats, and whether they have curly or straight hair they are registered Selkirk Rex cats. If you would like a unique looking cat with a wonderful personality, the Selkirk Rex is the breed for you!
