Devon Rex Cat Breeds and Variations

2 min read

The Devon Rex is a captivating feline breed that stands out from the crowd with its distinct appearance and charming personality. While all Devon Rex cats share common characteristics, there are a few variations within the breed that are worth exploring.

The standard Devon Rex cat showcases a slender and elegant body, characterized by its curly or wavy coat, large ears, and strikingly expressive eyes. However, within this breed, there are a few variations that add unique features to these already fascinating cats.

One notable variation is the "Elf" or "Pixie" variety. Elf cats are Devon Rex cat with partially or completely hairless coats, giving them a unique and intriguing appearance. Their lack of fur highlights their charming features, including their prominent cheekbones and large, captivating eyes. The Elf variety inherits its hairlessness from the Sphynx breed, as a result of a planned crossbreeding program.

Another variation is the "Curl" variety, also known as "Selkirk Rex." These cats possess a distinct curly coat, much like the Devon Rex, but with a denser and more plush appearance. The Selkirk Rex cats have a thicker body structure and a broader face, giving them a teddy bear-like appearance.

Despite their variations, all Devon Rex cats share a common temperament characterized by their friendly and playful nature. They are known to be highly sociable and enjoy being the center of attention. Their intelligence and curiosity make them excellent companions and interactive family pets.

Whether you are captivated by the elegant standard Devon Rex, the unique Elf variety, or the plush Curl variety, the breed's variations provide a diverse range of options for cat enthusiasts seeking an extraordinary and affectionate feline companion.

Adopting our new kitten from Purebred Kitties was a wonderful experience. The process was smooth and clear, leaving no room for confusion. Alona's kindness and genuine care shone through as she promptly answered all my questions. Thanks to the whole team, our new furry family member is now home and already cherished beyond words!

I am absolutely thrilled with my experience! The team provided instant clarification and communication, showing true compassion every step of the way. The video calls reassured me that this company is trustworthy. The caring consultants seamlessly connected me with the breeder, making the entire process smooth and efficient.

Purebredkitties has been absolutely wonderful. They made everything so easy and stress-free. Adoption specialist Kim A was fantastic, always going the extra mile to help me. She even responded to my email at 3 am her time! 😊 This whole experience has been truly heartwarming and rewarding.

Our experience with Purebredkitties was wonderful! Communication was great, and we even got to FaceTime with our kitten before bringing her home. She was exactly as we expected and is already doing great with our family after just two days. One small note is that pedigree papers weren't included and cost extra, which was a bit pricey since she arrived spayed. Overall, even though it was expensive, it was worth it. The quality and size of our kitten are amazing!

The whole experience of adopting a pet with this fantastic team has been nothing short of wonderful. Now, I have the joy of being a devoted pet mom to a gorgeous kitten I named Princess. I'm already looking forward to adopting another fur baby with Maria's help in the future. I'm absolutely thrilled and can't thank you all enough!

Proud mom of four Sphynx kitties! I adopted all of my adorable feline friends from Maria at purebredkitties.com, and I couldn’t be happier. Each one is a treasure, and working with Maria has been an absolute delight!

The whole journey to bring our fluffy bundle of joy home was fantastic. Maria is incredibly kind and always ready to answer all our questions. I really appreciate how seriously they take the health of the cats. Our kitten arrived with a minor case of the sniffles, likely from the airport travel, but it was easily and quickly resolved. Plus, the video call we had to meet our little guy beforehand was a wonderful way to get a glimpse of his personality and feel confident in our decision. I'm definitely recommending Purebred Kitties to all my friends who are looking to get their own Maine Coon.

I recently welcomed my second Sphynx from Purebred Kitties, and just like my first experience, everything went perfectly. This time around was just as smooth and delightful. I adore both of my cats—they're healthy, have amazing personalities, and are absolutely precious.
