Frequently Asked Questions

Devon rexes are like no other cat you have ever met before. They're extremely social and enjoy being with you 100% of the time. They love cuddling under blankets and at times can be quite active and playful. Generally, they're quiet cats and they thrive in both busy households and quiet ones. They rarely meet a stranger and are very outgoing. They also love sitting or riding on your shoulders as you walk around the house. 

All my cats are negative for felv/fiv. My adult cats have also been tested negative for 50 genetic health predispositions & screened for HCM by a cardiologist. Health is very important to me & do everything I can to make sure I'm producing happy healthy kittens!

No cat is completely hypoallergenic (despite what you might read online). Devons tend to shed less of the Fel D 1 proteins (this is what triggers most allergy sufferers), but because of their social nature and desire to always be in your lap or on your shoulders, they could also trigger allergies in some people because they like the skin to skin contact. With this being said, no cat is hypoallergenic but will probably be easier on allergies compared to a typical domestic shorthair/rescue. 

I don't do meet and greets to see if someone is allergic to my cats. 

I get this request a lot and because it could take several hours to even have a reaction, I don't find them very useful for the families/individuals with allergies. Plus, each cat is individually different and would be impossible to know how much a particular kitten/cat would be shedding the Fel D 1 proteins. If you have severe cat allergies, it is best you avoid getting a cat all together (I'm sorry! But this is the truth!). 

Kittens can go to their new homes around 12-14 weeks of age. All kittens come with a care package, up to date on vaccines, and will leave on a spay/neuter contract upon leaving. My vet does not want to spay/neuter prior to 6 months old because of their small size. After the kitten is spayed/neutered (with proof of neuter/spay) I will mail/email their registration papers. 

I have had a recent influx of backyard breeders/kitten mill breeders reach out to me. Because of this, I might do early spay/neuters which would mean I won't be releasing the kittens until they're around 14 weeks old. If early spay and neuter isn't possible (it is very difficult to find a vet whom is comfortable with spaying/neutering under 6 months in my area), then I will use SpaySecure. SpaySecure uses binding contracts to ensure cat sterilization at a healthy age. They’ll follow up with you to provide advice and reminders, ensuring your kitten gets spayed or neutered safely. Please visit their website for

more information. 

Some of my cats are dual registered with TICA and CFA. Unless, there is a request for both papers, your kitten will have TICA or CFA papers sent to you after proof of spay/neuter.

I provide a five year genetic health guarantee that includes FIP. 

My cats live in my home. Although technically I have a cattery, none of my cats live in cages (unlike many catteries). I'm very lucky that my males don't spray; which makes things much easier! My males get to live a very normal life with my friends & they visit for breedings.  I don't allow visitors until a deposit is received. This is to ensure that the kittens aren't exposed to any viruses' as some interested families/indiviudals might be visiting other catteries or rescues in the same day and could unknowingly expose my cats to viruses. Most reputable breeders don't open their doors to allow visitors for the same reason.  When you reserve a kitten, I will update you with weekly photos/videos. If you have a deposit on a kitten, I usually wait till the kittens are 4-6 weeks before having families/individuals (who have placed a deposit) meet them. My babies don't go to their new homes until they're 11-14 weeks old.  

If you have never met a Devon Rex before and would like to meet one. Cat shows are a great way to get to know the breed!  

Once a litter is born and the kittens are between 2-4 weeks old I will accept a $500 deposit to reserve a kitten of your choice. 

If I plan to hold back a kitten, I may not offer the kittens until I have made my final decision. I'm breeding for breed preservation and holding back an exceptional kitten to better the breed is my end goal. I do not accept deposits before a litter is born. The deposit goes towards the purchase price of $3500. Kittens occasionally are individually priced depending on type and quality. Some kittens might be more or less. 

All kittens are raised with early neurological stimulation and "puppy culture" techniques to ensure a solid and social cat. The price includes being up to date on vaccines and will be on a spay/neuter contract. I have invested a considerable amount of time and money in hand selecting and importing all my cats from reputable catteries that have exceptional genetics and temperaments. 

My job is to find the best possible homes for the kittens and I have the right to refuse to sell a kitten if I feel like the home is not a good fit.

I will only respond to experienced and responsible breeders who apply through my website. You will need to provide breeding references (your mentor can be one of them).  I take breeding seriously and will not support any backyard breeders or kitten mills. 

The application for a kitten can be found here: Application 

If the application is accepted I will add you to the waitlist and you will be notified once the litter is born. I update my Instagram stories more frequently than my website. 

Recently there has been a rise in scams and I feel terrible for all the families and individuals who have been scammed in getting a kitten.

I try to respond to all kitten applications with my email signature that includes my real estate brokerage information. I also keep my instagram pages public (my Devon Rex page, my personal page, and my real estate business page is public). 

Signs of a kitten scam: 

1. Too good to be true prices: If someone is offering a kitten for hundreds less than the going prices...it's likely a scam! 

2. Stock photos or reused images: Scammers often use stole photos. I try to watermark a lot of my photos on my website. But this is also time consuming and scammers can remove watermarks.  I suggest using a reverse-search with google to see if these images appear elsewhere online. 

3. Refusal to video chat or send updated photos: A reputable breeder will gladly send updated photos or do a live video call. Scammers make excuses like being too busy, traveling, or having a broken camera. 

4. Pressure to pay quickly: If they insist on fast payment that is a red flag. 

5.    No Contract or Health Guarantee: Real breeders provide a contract that outlines terms of sale, spay/neuter agreement, health guarantees, etc. Scammers rarely offer anything in writing.

6.    Fake Shipping Services: Scammers will create fake courier websites or say they need extra money for special crates, insurance, or “COVID clearance.” With this being said, I do NOT ship cargo. Devon's are way too fragile to be shipped cargo. I have no problem with families picking up their baby and flying in cabin with them! 

7. Trust your intuition! If something feels off- walk away!
