Meet Dash Curly Whiskers
Hello, my name is Dash. I am a 18 month old male domesticated Selkirk Rex, current on vaccinations - rabies, distemper, dewormed, and neutered.
My Story begins here at Hhp as a donation to help the older special needs residents be able to continue their care until the awesome pet angels here can find them forever homes. My Owner was sad to leave me here but his dad had to move in due to health issues and could not be around me. I love little kids. And was carried all over by my little friend. I am a high maintance kitty with long curly hair. There is a lot of grooming to keep me beautiful
A little on the Selkirk rex.
One of the newest natural breeds, this naturally curly cat originated from a housecat, Miss DePesto of Noface, found in a shelter in Montana. Given to Persian breeder, Jeri Newman of Montana, who bred her to PhotoFinish of Deekay, a black Persian. “Pest” produced three curly kittens out of six – proving that unlike the Devon Rex and Cornish Rex, Pest’s mutation was dominant. Because the gene is dominant, curly kittens can be born in the same litter with straight haired kittens.
The Selkirk Rex is being developed as a large, heavy boned cat rather like the British Shorthair in conformation. The head is round with no flat planes. The curl is plush and loosely curled, showing up more dramatically on the longhair. Selkirks are healthy and sturdy. They are an incredibly patient, loving, and tolerant cats.
From the moment of birth, curly kittens can be distinguished from their straight haired littermates by their curly whiskers. The whiskers are brittle and may break as they grow longer. The whiskers and hair do not change as the cat grows older; if they are curly at birth, they are curly as an adult. Even if the coat later shows less curl, the cat has the curly gene and retains the curly whiskers.
Adoption Fee $175.00, $125.00 has been sponcered by an awesome pet angel
This tax-deductible fee pays for the vaccinations, spay/neuter, boarding, food, and overall care of all the animals at the shelter.
*If you're unable to adopt, please consider donating or volunteering your time to these deserving animals currently living at HHP. Their needs require care and love on a daily basis, which adds up monetarily. Our shelter is funded by donations and adoption fees alone. The need is great within our community and your support matters.
Online Application Only
If you have questions, please stop by any day between 1pm-6pm. Contact our office at (406) 896-1700 or Angie (406) 860-8735.
