Come on, one look at BonJovi, you know he’s a rock star! He has glamorous, show-stopping, big 1980’s rock star hair with luscious soft curls and waves and a dash of hot mess. He’s not just a rock star but an athlete too! You should see him leap through the air for a wand toy and chase a pin pong ball or squeaky toy with a great zest for life. He also enjoys being talked to, pet, a little roll with catnip, and fresh air from a cat tree placed by a window and let’s not forget his love of a good meal. He takes great delight in breakfast, dinner, Churus and treats. 

BonJovi starts out cautious, but it doesn’t take him long because he wants to engage with people. Food and toys are the way to connect with him. He needs an adult home where he can unwind, relax and be himself. Kids make him nervous so that’s a no-go. An easy-going, friendly, playful cat or two would be fine but no dogs please. He’d be fine as an only pet in the home only if his family was home much of the time. He would not flourish being an only cat who was alone 40-50 hours a week.

Selkirk Rex are the original “bad hair day” kitties because of the random little ringlets that go every which way, individual curls, and luxurious dreadlocks. This coat demands to be felt and played with! A hair pick can be helpful in separating large clumps of curls or a wide tooth metal comb to care for the Selkirk Rex coat. Simply use your fingers in a gentle scratching motion to fluff up the curls and you’ll be able to keep the coat looking its best while making your cat very happy. These cats do not mat easily, but combing weekly is recommended to remove dead hair and ensure that mats do not form.

BonJovi is perfect with his bathroom habits and currently uses two large open top litter boxes (he is a big boy and needs his bathroom spacious) with unscented scoopable litter. He is fed Honest Kitchen freeze dried/rehydrated food for breakfast and dinner and eats off a flat bowl/plate to accommodate his face and whiskers. He’s currently enjoying water out of a stainless steel water fountain.

Starting out in a room as basecamp with introductions and access to the home should be at a speed acceptable and safe for BonJovi and other pets in the home.
