Welcome to the Quarterback Devon Rex Homepage
This site is a tribute to the coolest of cats - the devon rex. We are in relentless persuit to share the dedication and fascination with old and new friends. On this site You will find a short presentation of our family, a breed description according to the FIFE standard, kittens & expecting litters, brief breed history and a gallery with old and current pictures.
I found my first Devon Rex in 1989 when I visited a friend who just had bought a black male. I could not resist to have one of my own and after much research and learning, I had my first litter. Since then, much has happened, some good and some bad but all in all, I would still say that we have come further today when it comes to the health of the breed than before. One of the things that make me sad though is when breeders are more concerned about having well-typed cats than healthy ones. Lately I have seen some cats with features that without a doubt are the result of inbreeding. We have come a long way, and should make use of the the knowledge we have made.
My cats are as social as they come. Our family has not tought our cats that there is no limit to were they are allowed so they sleep with us in our beds and play with the toys of the kids.
Many may think otherwise but somehow, I feel that children that grow up with animals become more tolerant towards the living in general. It is sad to know that our cats do not always stay with us forever but the time spent together is not comparable to anything else and I would not be without my cats for anything.
I will not either compromise anyone else from making this experience, even though I will demand references from known people, breeder friends or judges. I also demand that all buyers pick up their cats at my place. You are always welcome to our house.
