The club was formed in early 2006 with the aims to increase awareness of the Selkirk Rex Cat & to promote, develop & safeguard the interests of the Selkirk Rex Breed. 

The Selkirk Rex is neither a curly British nor a curly Persian but a breed in its own right

The use of Persian and British is allowed as outcrosses but the use of too much of British cats in breeding or too much of Persian cats in breeding  will result in curly British or curly Persian not Selkirk Rex.

The ideal breeding  is Selkirk Rex Curly to Selkirk Rex Variant (straighthair) and type takes precedence over coat

Here are  useful documents that breeders may find helpful

• Differences between the Selkirk Rex and other Breeds in the British Section
• Differences between the Selkirk Rex and Other Rex Breeds
• Selkirk Rex Seminar

               This seminar gives pictorial examples of what is correct and what is not in the Selkirk breed

• Standard of Points

Currently membership is increasing by a steady pace with Founder Members and a healthy flow of new members.
