Chocolate Selkirk Rex come in shorthair and longhair varieties. The chocolate color is a rich, warm brown that is distinctly different from black or seal. Cinnamon is a lighter variation of chocolate. It requires both parents to carry the chocolate gene, which is why it is uncommon. If you are searching specifically for a chocolate Selkirk Rex kitten for sale, you have come to the right place. Selkirkish breeds Selkirk Rex in our home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we work with families across the United States to place kittens in loving pet homes.
The chocolate color is rare in the Selkirk Rex breed. We plan our litters carefully to produce a range of colors, and we maintain a waitlist for families seeking specific color combinations.

Selkirk Rex are known for their plush, curly coats and calm, affectionate temperaments. They get along well with children, other cats, and dogs. They are not high-energy cats, which makes them ideal for apartment living or families that want a relaxed lap companion. The chocolate coat color does not affect personality. Color is purely aesthetic. Every Selkirk Rex, regardless of color, has the same teddy bear personality that has made this breed famous.

Understanding chocolate Selkirk Rex genetics helps you understand why certain colors are more common than others. Cat coat color is determined by a combination of dominant and recessive genes inherited from both parents. The chocolate coat color in Selkirk Rex follows the same genetic rules as any domestic cat breed.
At Selkirkish, we plan every litter with these genetic principles in mind. We track which colors each of our breeding cats carry, and we pair sires and queens to produce healthy kittens with desirable color combinations. While we cannot guarantee a specific color in any given litter, we can give you a realistic estimate of what to expect.
If a specific chocolate Selkirk Rex kitten is your dream cat, the best path is to join our waitlist with your color preference noted. We will reach out as soon as a matching kitten is born or expected. The waitlist is free, requires no deposit, and gives you first access to litters that match your preferences before they go public on our available kittens page.
