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 black 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 black 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 black 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 black 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.
