Selkirk Rex kittens: price and how to buy
- How much do Selkirk Rex kittens cost?
- There are no kittens of this breed available right now, so we’ll name the price when a litter arrives. It depends on the color and on whether you take the kitten as a pet or with breeding rights. Join the waitlist and we’ll write to you first.
- Why do the pet and breeding prices differ?
- A kitten sold as a pet moves in as a companion, without breeding rights. The price with breeding rights is higher because that kitten goes to breeding work. When the cattery offers both, both prices are shown on the kitten’s page.
- How do I buy a kitten?
- Pick a kitten in the catalogue and send a request on the site or in the cattery’s Telegram bot — no sign-up needed. We’ll get in touch, answer your questions and reserve the kitten for you.
- What documents does a kitten come with?
- Each kitten’s page shows what is already done before the move: age-appropriate vaccinations, a vet passport, deworming, a microchip and a pedigree.
- Can I take a kitten to another city or country?
- The cattery is in Dnipro, Ukraine. Transport to another city in Ukraine or abroad is arranged individually when you reserve.
Selkirk Rex: temperament and traits
The Selkirk Rex is a young breed from Montana, USA, that began in 1987 with a curly cat called Miss DePesto. These cats are calm, patient and affectionate, and their easy-going nature and plush curls often earn them comparisons with teddy bears. The coat can be short or long and is combed gently once or twice a week so the curls keep their shape; the breed does well in families with children.
