The Devon Rex is said to resemble a pixie because of their big ears, big eyes, and playful personality. Weighing between 5-10 pounds.
There are few cats friendlier than the Devon Rex. Their enthusiasm for life is unmatched, and they love to be in the middle of everything and absorb attention like a sponge. The Devon is smart, acrobatic, and clownish, meaning they love to play and are hard to outsmart. Able to amuse and entertain themselves for hours, they love to play!
The Devon Rex gets along really well with other animals and children, and is both a great travel companion because of their adaptability and a great therapy cat because they love to be held and touched.
If a Devon Rex sounds like fun, you’re right! But there are always a few things to consider when welcoming a new pet into your home. Here are some things to consider:
The Devon Rex is NOT hypoallergenic. These cats can be tolerated by some with allergies as they produce less dander than a regular furred cat.
The Devon Rex’s coat requires very little grooming. In fact, it’s better if you stay away from brushing a Devon Rex’s coat most of the time, as the fine hairs are delicate and can be broken. Occasional baths are really all the Devon Rex needs.
The Devon Rex’s love for attention can make them a bit demanding at times. They don’t like to be alone for long, so if you work long hours or your family isn’t around much, it’s best to get a companion for a Devon.
