🧳Travel & safety for the Selkirk Rex
Selkirk Rex : Its natural calm makes trips easier: a standard well-ventilated rigid carrier is enough. Beware of overheating in the car in summer due to its thick curly coat.
Vet visits, holidays, moving house: sooner or later your cat will travel. The right carrier, proper car restraint, journey prep: our guides cover the gear and habits that turn a trip into a non-event.
A carrier that only appears for vet visits becomes an object of panic: choose a comfortable one and leave it open at home.
