Moppet could not have a more appropriate name, just look at her! Moppet is a playful, spunky and sweet Purebred long-haired Selkirk Rex with brilliant gold eyes. Her hair is the most wonderful, stupendous, wind-blown looking—hot mess! 

The ideal home for Moppet is one that will have humans and cats that will play with her. Moppet is active, funny and an all-around hoot! She’ll likely start out shy until she gets comfortable but that shouldn’t take long. She’ll tolerate being carried around but it’s not her favorite thing.  Moppet prefers to lay next to people but will sometimes get comfy on a lap. Starting out, she’s reserved but still playful. Once comfortable with people and her surroundings, she’ll be looking for regular playtime, head scratches and elevator butt rubs. Her breakfast and dinner consist of Honest Kitchen rehydrated chicken. Treats or Churu are also welcomed. She currently loves the fresh and clean water from her stainless-steel water fountain.

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.

Moppet should start out in a “base camp” room in her new home, while she becomes familiar and comfortable with her new people and another potential cat friend or two. Expansion of her space should be at a comfortable pace for her and other cats.  Her bathroom habits are 100% with using two large, uncovered litter boxes filled with unscented clumping litter.
