Devon Rex

The Devon Rex is noted for its soft, short, naturally curly coat. Its large eyes and ears give it a "pixie-ish" appearance. The Devon Red originated in a tin mine in Devon, and is distinct from the Cornish Rex, though the coat mutation appears similar. They are available in a wide variety of patterns and colours. The Devon Rex is a good potential choice for a people who are allergic to cats. While no cat can be truly hypoallergenic, Devon Rex (and Cornish Rex) do not aggravate allergies in many people with cat allergies. Allergic people are encouraged to visit a breeder to determine their own tolerance for the breed. The Devon Rex is accepted by all major cat registries.
