Alright, so I’ve been thinking about getting a Devon Rex cat for a while now. These guys are just too cute with their big ears and curly hair! So, I started digging around to see what’s what.
First thing I did was hit up the web to look for places to get one. Searched for stuff like “Devon Rex cattery near me” and “Devon Rex kittens for sale”. Found a bunch of results, but it was kind of a mixed bag. Some websites looked pretty legit, with lots of info and pictures, while others seemed a bit sketchy.
Then, I started checking out local pet adoption places. I used some “Find-a-cat” tool online, that was mentioned, it’s easy to use. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to see if there were any Devon Rexes in need of a home at a shelter. No luck there, but I did see a lot of other adorable cats that need loving homes.
- Looked for breeders online and on social media.
- Checked reviews and testimonials.
- Made sure they were registered with a reputable cat association.
Finding a Breeder
Next, I started looking into breeders. This part was a little trickier. I wanted to make sure I found a breeder who was responsible and ethical. You know, someone who actually cares about the cats and not just about making money. I looked for breeders who were registered with cat associations and had good reviews online.
- Sent emails and made phone calls.
- Asked about their breeding practices, health guarantees, and prices.
- Scheduled visits to see the catteries and meet the kittens.
Contacting Breeders
After I narrowed down my list of potential breeders, I started reaching out to them. I sent emails and made phone calls, asking all sorts of questions. I wanted to know about their breeding practices, how they socialize the kittens, and what kind of health guarantees they offered. I even visited one of the nearby cattery and see how they manage the cats and kittens.
The prices varied quite a bit, which was expected. But it wasn’t just about the money. I wanted to make sure I was getting a healthy, well-adjusted kitten from a breeder who knew what they were doing.
Still on the hunt, but I feel like I’m making progress. It’s definitely a process, but I think it’ll be worth it in the end. Getting a cat is a big decision, and I want to make sure I do it right. I have to say that I’m more like to find a Devon Rex from a breeder than adopting a cat from a shelter or rescue organization. And, I’m willing to pay to buy a Devon Rex from a breeder. I’ll keep you guys posted on how it goes!
