Summary

About German Rex
A friendly, lively, and playful cat from Germany with a muscular body and a short, soft coat with velvety waves. The German Rex often forms close bonds with its people and enjoys daily interaction and stimulating activities. It needs safe places to climb, undisturbed rest, and gentle care. Its distinctive coat does not make the breed allergen-free, and each cat’s health should be assessed individually.
About Selkirk Rex Longhair
A calm, sociable cat with a sturdy, muscular body and a soft, long coat of loose curls. The Selkirk Rex Longhair often enjoys close contact but also needs daily play and its own places to rest. Its coat requires regular, gentle grooming. Before buying, it is important to review documented health information, particularly any family history of kidney and heart problems, as well as the individual cat’s temperament.
