The Devon Rex is a breed of unique appearance, originating in Devon, England in 1960. Its large eyes, short muzzle, prominent cheekbones, and huge, low-set ears create a characteristic elfin look.
A cat of medium fine frame, the Devon is well covered with soft, wavy fur; the fur is of a distinctive texture, as the mutation which causes its wavy coat is cultivated in no other breed.
The Devon is alert and active and shows a lively interest in its surroundings.
CATZ Inc recognises this breed for full Championship Status.
