The CFA Devon Rex Breed Club (DRBC) provides the use of pages on our site as a courtesy to the DRRL (Devon Rex Rescue Leaue).

The DRRL is a non profit organization (501(c)3) run by volunteers. It was established separately from the DRBC to assist Devon Rex in crisis. The DRRL is a network of Devon breeders and fanciers all over the country that avail ourselves to the local shelters, humane societies and veterinarian offices so that should a Devon come to one of these facilities in crisis, we are able to offer help. Our mission is to ensure that Devon Rex that have been abandoned or abused end up in very happy homes. We feel that our breed is very sensitive and intelligent and like all cats, deserves the best treatment possible by their owners.

The qualifications are strict about adopting one of our Devons in rescue; we do not want a Devon who has already gone through the stress of abandonment and home change to go to yet another home that might not work out. Potential families are screened by reputable breeders and we request references before placement. We do not want our adoptee to free roam outside, no declawing and all rescues are spayed and neutered before placement.

The new owner must be willing to pay for all fees incurred since the cat's rescue or in special cases, a set adoption fee.

If you are interested in owning a Devon Rex, we strongly urge you to contact a reputable breeder in your area. If for any reason during the life of the Devon you are faced with having to place it, please contact the breeder that sold you your cat first. Do NOT place your Devon in a shelter, leave it outside, sell it to a laboratory or give it to someone who may not take exceptionally good care of this cat. At least let the breeder know who owns the cat at that point so that should the cat ever end up in rescue, we can trace the breeder and hopefully work with them to make the rest of the Devon's life the very best that it can be.

Here is where you can view our current rescues. We no longer keep waiting lists so check back often for the availability of Devon Rex rescues. We never know when a Devon will end up in need and the availability can change daily. All contact information for each rescue will be provided and questionnaires are available for the rescues that the DRRL directly handles.
