The origin of Devon Rex

Little Kirlee was born in Devon, England in 1959, initially misunderstood as having the same genetic pattern as the Cornish Rex, a cat breed appearing a decade earlier near Cornwall. However, the test results showed that Kirlee was another cat breed, another result of natural gene modification. Kirlee had a curly coat. No one knew anything about his ancestors. It is possible that both of his parents were wild cats with curly coat.

Kirlee became the first generation of a new cat breed, the Devon Rex, named after his birthplace – Devonshire and his Rex-like curly coat. In 1968, this breed was brought to America, before getting recognized by CFA in 1979.
