If you’ve ever met a Devon Rex kitten, you already know their coat is one of their most fascinating features. Soft, wavy, and unlike any other breed, the Devon Rex coat is part of what makes these cats so special. But what surprises many new owners is that this unique coat doesn’t stay the same throughout kittenhood.

Bringing a Devon Rex into your home is a joyful and exciting experience—but it’s also a big responsibility. Choosing the right breeder can make all the difference in your cat’s health, temperament, and quality of life. At Summit Rex, we believe in educating prospective owners so they can make informed choices. One of the most important distinctions to understand is the difference between ethical breeders and backyard breeders.

At Summit Rex, we believe that feeding your Devon Rex a species-appropriate diet is one of the most important ways to support their health, energy, and longevity. Devon Rex cats are active, playful, and highly social, and their delicate, muscular bodies thrive on a diet that mirrors what nature intended: nutrient-dense, high-quality protein, and minimal fillers.
