Cat Breed Facts - Devon Rex

Like with many other cat breeds, the Devon Rex is low-maintenance. Several myths have surrounded this breed including they are hypo-allergenic and they do not shed. A Devon Rex will shed like any animal that has fur but it is far less than long-haired breeds. Some individuals who have allergies to cats can tolerate the Devon Rex but this depends upon the allergy. Those with cat allergies should arrange to handle a Devon Rex before purchasing one to forego any surprises. Due to their short coat, this breed should be kept indoors especially during the winter months.

The cost of a Devon Rex varies depending upon its lineage but prices typically start around $800. This breed is extremely popular for the show ring and as a faithful companion. Those interested in a unique cat breed with extraordinary characteristics should consider the Devon Rex.
