Selkirk Rex Kittens for sale in Launceston, Cornwall

Selkirk Rex cats require moderate maintenance due to their dense, curly coat. They need regular grooming, ideally brushing two to three times a week, to prevent matting and reduce shedding, and occasional baths every few weeks to manage oily skin. While their grooming needs are less demanding than some long-haired breeds like Persians, consistent care is necessary to keep their coat healthy and comfortable.

Selkirk Rex cats generally have a relatively long lifespan, typically living between 14 and 20 years. This longevity comes with some genetic health considerations, so regular veterinary care and appropriate health monitoring are recommended to ensure a healthy and happy life for your cat.

Selkirk Rex cats shed moderately. Their dense and curly coat results in less shedding compared to many other long-haired breeds, but regular brushing two to three times a week helps manage loose hair in the home and maintains their coat's softness and curl.
