Ua ʻike mua ʻia ka Selkirk Rex ma Montana i ka makahiki 1987, i ka wā i hānau ʻia ai kahi pōpoki i kapa ʻia ʻo Miss DePesto me ka lauoho lauoho. Ua ʻike ka mea nona ʻo Miss DePesto he ʻano lauoho ʻōniʻoniʻo kāna mau pipi, a ʻike koke ʻo ia he ʻano hoʻololi ʻano hou kēia. Ma hope o ka hānau ʻana me nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe, ua hānau ʻia ka Selkirk Rex. I kēia lā, ʻike ʻia ka ʻano e nā hui pōpoki a puni ka honua.

He leʻaleʻa lākou a he hoihoi, akā hoʻomaha a maʻalahi hoʻi. Hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻo Selkirk Rex me nā keiki, nā ʻīlio, a me nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe, e lilo lākou i koho maikaʻi loa no nā ʻohana.
