Devon Rex
The Devon Rex is a uniquely charming small cat with curly hair, large ears, and an elf-like face, often called 'the pixie of the cat world.' Playful and mischievous, they maintain kitten-like energy well into adulthood. Extremely sociable, they love perching on shoulders and curling up on laps.
