Meet the Devon Rex
A pixie face, a clown's heart
The Devon Rex is instantly recognisable: a distinctive short, curly coat, oversized ears and an elfin face. Their coat is exceptionally soft but delicate — it needs gentle care, and sparse patches on the belly or head are perfectly normal.
Personality-wise, they're highly energetic, playful and famous for clownish, attention-seeking antics. As avid jumpers and climbers, they love a home with tall perches and warm, sunny resting spots.
