The Selkirk Rex originated in Montana in 1987 from a single curly-coated kitten found in a shelter litter and later crossed with a Persian. Unlike the Cornish Rex and Devon Rex, the Selkirk Rex has a full, plush coat of loose, tumbling curls — including curly whiskers. This is a medium-to-large cat weighing 6–16 pounds with a round head, full cheeks, and a sturdy, muscular build. They come in both longhair and shorthair varieties, in every color and pattern, with the longhair displaying the most dramatic ringlets.
Selkirk Rex cats are patient, laid-back companions with a goofy, playful streak that persists into adulthood. They enjoy being held and cuddled but are not overly demanding of attention — content to amuse themselves when their humans are busy. Their tolerant nature makes them wonderful with children and other pets.

The Turkish Angora is an ancient, naturally occurring breed from central Turkey — specifically the Ankara region — and is one of the oldest known longhaired cat breeds. This small-to-medium cat weighs 5–10 pounds and possesses a graceful, balletic build with a long, plumed tail, silky single-layer coat (no undercoat), and large, walnut-shaped eyes. While white is the most iconic color — often with striking odd eyes (one blue, one amber) — Turkish Angoras come in nearly every color and pattern except pointed.
Turkish Angoras are spirited, intelligent cats that love to be at the center of the action. They are natural athletes — leaping to the highest shelf, opening doors, and inventing games to entertain themselves. Affectionate and strong-willed, they will happily greet guests and supervise every household activity, often choosing one family member as their primary favorite.
