Selkirk Rex Cat

The Selkirk Rex cat is a charming, curly-coated breed known for its plush, teddy bear-like appearance and laid-back personality. With a soft, tousled coat and a round face, this breed stands out from other Rex cats for its sturdy body and affectionate nature.

Unlike the slender Devon or Cornish Rex, the Selkirk Rex has a stocky build and full cheeks, often giving it a sweet, expressive look. Its coat can be short or long, but always features the signature loose curls—even on the whiskers!

Selkirk Rex cats are gentle, patient, and loving. They adapt well to a variety of households and enjoy both cuddling and playtime. They’re social but not demanding, making them excellent companions for families, singles, and seniors alike.

Their thick, curly coat benefits from regular brushing to prevent tangles, especially in longhaired individuals. Despite the curls, the Selkirk Rex is not considered hypoallergenic.

If you’re looking for a mellow, fluffy companion with a distinctive look, the Selkirk Rex cat delivers personality, softness, and heart-melting charm.
