On Hold
This little sweetheart is a very rare male calico kitten, just 9 weeks old. We have called him "Selten" because it means means "rare" in German.
Calico cats with their distinctive orange and black colourings are almost always female. Only one in 3,000 is male, but this little guy defied the odds and is a member of a very small and select group of male calicos born in Australia each year.
Calico cats need two X chromosomes to produce the beautiful autumnal colours that make them so popular with cat lovers, but they also need a Y chromosome to be male.
Selten has a genetic makeup of XXY, which is very unusual, indeed.
If you are interested in adopting Selten and can give him a safe and loving forever home, please send an email to info@southerndownsark.com.au with your name, address and phone number. Please tell us a bit about what sort of home you can give Selten.
