Devon Rex
Last checked 2026-07-03
The Devon Rex is a curly-haired cat with an unusual appearance and a playful personality, so much so that it's been dubbed a poodle in cat form. Suitable for people who stay home often and want a cat that is attached to people. The thin coat is easy to care for but does not protect well from temperatures. The room should be controlled so that it is not too hot or too cold.
