Sara is an extrovert who loves pets and attention from people. She is curious, playful, lively, energetic, with a friendly temperament. She has a medium build of 7 lbs,  is solid, sturdy and has an elfish look with an almost heart shaped face. The Selkirk Rex is famous for their plush, curly hair and that has earned them the nickname “the cat in sheep’s clothing.”   

Sara requires little grooming. A good combing (don’t use a brush) once a week and she’ll retain her silky waves. Don’t over-brush, which could lead to the frizzies. For bathing, don’t use a thick shampoo that doesn’t rinse well, as it will make the fur fall flat. Regular combing also will keep the hair from accumulating all over the house, as the Selkirk Rex does shed moderately, particularly in the summer when shedding is at its peak.

Sara is spayed and has her claws. She has had a veterinary wellness visit, dental, tested negative for FELV/FIV, is wormed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She has perfect bathroom habits and uses an open litter box with World’s Best Unscented Cat Litter. Sara is currently eating Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Chicken Cat Food.

Sara’s ideal family would be one that likes a fun loving, attentive, active court jester of a cat. Her best home fit would be one where people are around to give her plenty of attention. She would do fine as an only cat, or with a respectful cat and or cat friendly dog that would ignore her. Respectful, cat savvy  kids 10 years and over would be okay.
