What are Devon Rex cats like?
Devon Rex cats are known for their large, far-apart ears and mischievous personalities. Weighing up to 9 pounds and up to 15 inches in length, they are one of the smaller cat breeds. Their short fur has a loose curl, giving a fuzzy texture to their coat. As their fur tends to be on the short and fine side, breeders recommend keeping your Devon Rex indoors to prevent sunburn. Registered Devon Rex breeders will have kittens for sale with white, lilac, chocolate, cinnamon and black fur in a variety of patterns; calico, tabby, pointed, shaded and tortoiseshell, among others.
Devon Rex cats love to entertain their pet parents and appreciate physical affection. They may perch on your shoulder while you work and will always be nearby to keep an eye on you. They are highly social cats, and benefit from multiple sources of attention. Having another cat or pet around for them to play with will help the Devon Rex acclimate to your home. They maintain kitten-like energy throughout their lives. You can teach them to play with toys and fetch to provide the Devon Rex with the stimulation they need.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
