The Breed
The Devon is often described as having an elfin appearance, with their large ears, high cheekbones and striking eyes. Their outstanding characteristic, however, is their soft, wavy fur.
Image
Personality
The Devon Rex’s favorite place is right at head level, on the shoulder of their favorite person. They take a lively interest in everything that is going on and refuse to be left out of any fun activity.
Image
Care
Wipe the corners of the eyes daily with a soft, damp cloth to remove any discharge. Use a separate area of the cloth for each eye so you don’t run the risk of spreading any infection. Check the ears weekly.

When I first discovered the breed Devon Rex I instantly fell in love with them and knew I needed one of my own. I finally began the process of finding a breeder in the beginning of 2025, I was nervous having never adopted a pure bred animal before, but when I started the process with Yana at Royal Devons Cattery, everything was a breeze. From the interview it was clear that Yana takes her breeding program seriously with a strong focus on the temperament and health of her cats. During the waiting period she does a great job updating her social media with pictures and videos of her litters which I really enjoyed. It has been one week with our new kitten, Charlie, and he is a dream come true! I would recommend Royal Devons Cattery to anyone looking to add a sweet Devon Rex into their life! I will 100% be going back!❤️

I am a return Royal Devons Cattery lover. I just got a beautiful baby boy after getting my daughter a support cat 2 years ago. So thankful to Yana and her cats! My daughter was in very rough mental shape after Covid so after a lot of research, we contacted Yana who was so supportive and understanding. She recommended a cat and a great approach. My daughter and her baby are very close and very happy. I picked up my sweet pea a couple of weeks ago and I am in love. I cannot say enough beautiful things about this Cattery. My daughters cat was a saving grace and I now have the most loving cat on the planet.

Royal Devon’s was amazing. Yana was supportive and kind through the whole process of getting our new kitten. I especially loved how thorough she was interviewing us as a potential family, she clearly cares about her cats and wants only what’s best for them.
Our new baby is the most perfect fit for our family! She’s cute, friendly, fun, and healthy. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a Devon that this is the Cattery for you!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Ainsley! Enjoy your bundle of joy and share them with us 😀
We just welcomed our little girl home from Royal devons. Our whole experience from the beginning of the interview to picking up our kitten has been very positive. Yana took the time during our interview to answer all our questions, concerns and general information regarding the breed. Yana was very transparent regarding pricing and wait time for our kitten. Joy is very healthy, social and super affectionate. Thank you so much Yana for making our sons dream come true! We will definitely be coming back for another one in a year! We highly recommend Yana, she truly loves her cats and it shows.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! Enjoy your princess😊

I honestly can’t say enough about Yana. She’s kind, honest and extremely knowledgeable. My three young boys and I waited about six months for our kitten and she was there throughout the waiting process to answer all of my questions. During my wait my circumstances changed and I landed a job where I would be away from home 24 hours at a time a few times a month. I called Yana and asked her to put me back on the list for another kitten. She had a better idea. When I say she knows her cats I’m not kidding. She suggested I take a retiree as Bella was already bonded with my Barmaley. So I brought the two of them home and they are the most loving, affectionate cats I’ve ever been around. They play together, they snuggle each other, they groom each other and they are absolutely attached at the hip. They are incredibly playful and happy. Seeing them together brings me so much joy and gratitude that I was able to keep them together. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I only wish I could give you 10 stars on here.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Angie! I am super happy for Bella and Barmaley that they have such amazing human brothers and a loving, awesome mama. Enjoy them❤

Wonderful kitten! Yana really knows her cats and kittens and cares for them any their new parents as if they were members of her own family. Yana is responsive, transparent and willing to answer every new kitten owner's question in detail and with patience. Our little Mouse is healthy, happy, well-adjusted and so much fun! We can't thank Yana enough for her expertise and care!

I have nothing but great things to say about Yana and her Cattery. I would highly recommend Royal Devons to anyone looking for a new addition to their family. Yana made then entire process easy and answered all my questions (as silly as some of them may have been). Even after I brought my new kitten home she offered me support and guidance. I could not be happier with my new family member - thank you!! 🙏 😊
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Danielle!

Our lives and hearts have only grown bigger and more content after getting our Hula from Yana. This little one has made our lives so much more full of chaos, laughter, and pure love. This little one keeps us on our toes and cuddles like there is no tomorrow. Yana has been amazing from the start. It was totally worth traveling to Canada for our little fur baby. We can’t wait to add to our family.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Perla!!

One of the top catteries in Canada! Our family had a great experience with Royal Devins. The honesty and knowledge of the breeder (Yana) was beyond our expectations. We were supposed through the whole process of adoption and what’s more important after! Yana was available for us literally 24/7. Our baby girl is healthy and happy kitten who became a great addition to our big family.

We love our little kitty and are very pleased with our experience. Cannot wait to get another! Yana takes great care with her kittens, medically and socially. A healthy and well socialised kitten is what we received and love him. Yana is very organised and professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!!❤
We couldn't be happier with our experience getting a devon from Yana. She is so friendly and helpful, and our little kitty is the most beautiful, personable, loving cat we've ever met. Thanks Yana!!

I am so in love with my kitten. His personality is adorable, very affectionate, and such a good boy. He slept the car ride when I picked him up and he even played fetch with me on his second night home. Yana was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and available to answer questions at any time. I would encourage anyone who brings home one of Yana's kittens to lean on her when needed.
Yana was referred to me by a friend who told me a Devon will change your life. She was right. My little Prince Charming Oliver exceeded my dreams and I couldn't be happier.
Response from the owner:Awww Thank you so much for your kind words!

We recently adopted a Devon Rex from Yana and the whole process has been just wonderful. We flew from Vancouver to Toronto to pick the kitty up and the entire process (emailing back and forth, traveling,
etc.) probably would have been a nightmare if it weren't for her incredible guidance and support. We ended up with the PERFECT cat after all of it and our entire family is so in love! Our kitty truly completes our family and we are over the moon with how he is with our 6 year old son. The kitty is so cuddly, playful, socialized, relaxed, and is the dream cat. The devon rex breed really is incredible. Worth every penny... our Turbo is priceless! Thank you Yana!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Claudine! Enjoy your bundle of joy❤

Yana really loves what she does and these furry little guys. We recently picked up a new cat from her and she has guided us through the process and is always there if we have any questions.

Yana matched us with the perfect little boy! I originally was looking for an emotional support pet and Bartok has become that and so much more. He is so fun to have around the house weather we’re sitting on the couch, in the bath (His second favourite spot. HONEST), or sleeping, He is so incredibly cuddly and sweet. He can get rambunctious at times which is the cutest thing to see him jumping around or carrying our clothes from the hamper in his mouth and strewing them all over the house. I feel he is so emotionally in tune with me, whenever I’ve had a hard day, he just seems to know and comes and lays on my chest (his favorite spot, and where he is while I write this). He is such a perfect little character that fits into our home better than I could have ever expected. And thank you so much, Yana!! We really do appreciate all the ongoing support you’ve given! It’s so great to have someone who knows what they’re doing just a call or message away!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Tianna! I am so glad that Bartok has such an amazing furmommy!!! ❤
