SELKIRK REX CATS - BOYS & GIRLS





Please enjoy our lovely Selkirk Rex boys, Shorthair, Longhair and straight-hair as well as curly. They all have the lovely Selkirk Rex nature and chunky style.



Selkirk Rex originated in the USA. In 1987, a breeder in Sheridan, Montana, was asked to look at an unusual kitten that was in a local shelter. It had slight curls and waves in the coat. The breeder, Jeri Newman, was interested in feline genetics, so she adopted the kitten and later bred it to one of her Persians, Photo Finish of Deekay. On July 4th 1988, the stray, wavy “kitten”, now named Miss DePesto of NoFace, gave birth to six kittens. Three of them had a curly coat and three were straight coated. Jeri knew this 50% ratio was exactly what would have been expected from a dominant gene for curl. She was fascinated with this concept and decided to explore the development of a new breed based on the curly coat. She gave the breed the name “Selkirk” rex to keep the same theme as the Cornish and Devon regional names, after the Selkirk Mountains and a stream near to her house.

'Cake' stayed with the Amazolou Cattery as he was one of the last Blue Golden Selkiks that I would be breeding. He has some great lines behind him and maintaining some of the imported genes from the last 10 years is quite important to ensure I have a broad gene pool to select from in the future.
Plus he's a damn cute, incredibly friendly kitty.

Grand Premier Cleyview Karma Chameleon



Black Silver Shaded LH Selkirk Rex





aka 'Karma'

Date of Birth: 27th July 2012

Dam: Adsetsh Amazolou Willow
Sire: GCCF Imperial Grand Champion, LOOF International Champion & TICA Lifetime Achiever Supreme Grand Champion Amazolou Mister Brightside

Breeder: Liz Blagdon, Cleyview Cattery Wiltshire

We were so pleased to welcome in to our home the wonderfully curly Karam Chameleon. Both of his parents are Amazolou Bred and I thought it would be lovely to have this little baby to return to his roots. Liz and Dave have done a fantastic job of raising such a lovely friendly and simply bonkers kitten in Karma. As Kharma has grown we've realised he is just too cute and loving to be resigned as a stud boy, so we've neutered him and now showing as a neuter.
