BREED:  Devon Rex

APPEARANCE:  Fine boned, small to medium cats, very short, curly coat almost looks ripply or crinkly, large wide ears.  Can come in almost any coat colour or pattern.

TEMPERAMENT: Intelligent, highly energetic, playful, active, prefers company either human or animal.

AVERAGE LIFE SPAN:12-15 years

MAINTENANCE: Low maintenance although active.  Their coats only shed a little, but their large ears do need regular cleaning.

SUITS: Suited more as an indoor cat as they don’t like the cold.  Prefer a household where someone is home the majority of the time or they have another cat for company. They are generally ok around children.

INTERESTING FACT:  The Devon Rex emerged in England during the 1960’s.  Their unusual coat is caused by a gene mutation.
