Devon Rex cats in PEI rescue

The Devon Rex has a short, soft, curled coat, large ears and a face that reads as slightly elfin. It is uncommon in Canadian rescue and would be an unusual arrival at the PEI Humane Society.

People are often drawn to the breed after reading that it is hypoallergenic, which is not accurate, so that is worth addressing before anything else.

Coat, warmth and temperament

The coat is thin and sparse rather than absent, which means less to shed but also less insulation. Devons seek warmth, and in a damp maritime winter that means a cat that lives on laps, near radiators and under blankets. The sparse coat also does less to distribute skin oils, so some cats need occasional bathing and regular ear cleaning.

Temperamentally they are among the most people-oriented cats there are: active, mischievous, and genuinely poor at being left alone all day. The breed is associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and with patellar luxation in some lines, so raise the background with your vet if you do adopt one.

Devon Rex Adoption FAQ — Prince Edward Island

Tap a question to expand

How many Devon Rexes are available for adoption in Prince Edward Island?▼
As of October 2026, there are no Devon Rexes listed in Prince Edward Island rescue on LocalPetFinder right now — Devon Rexes are among the rarer cats in local rescue. Inventory turns over quickly, so setting an alert is the most reliable way to catch one, or consider an adoptable Devon Rex mix.
Are Devon Rex cats hypoallergenic?▼
No. The allergen is a protein in saliva and skin secretions rather than hair, so a thin coat does not remove it. Some allergy sufferers tolerate an individual cat better, but that varies cat by cat, not breed by breed. Spend time with the specific animal before committing.
Do Devon Rex cats need special care?▼
Some. The sparse coat spreads skin oils less effectively, so occasional bathing and routine ear cleaning are common. They also feel the cold and will look for warm places, which is worth planning for in a maritime winter.
Can I adopt a Devon Rex on PEI?▼
It would be uncommon. They rarely enter Atlantic rescue, and the PEI Humane Society is the only shelter serving the island, so this page reflects the whole province.
How much does it cost to adopt a Devon Rex in Prince Edward Island?▼
Adopting a Devon Rex in Prince Edward Island typically costs $100 to $350, and kittens usually carry a premium at $175 to $400. The exact fee varies by rescue, and older cats are often reduced. That fee is not a purchase price. It covers work already done on the cat: spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and a basic vet workup, which would cost several hundred dollars more if you arranged it yourself after buying. Buying the same breed from a registered breeder generally runs well over $1,000, usually with a waitlist. Ask the rescue what is included before you apply, since a few include extras like a starter bag of food or a first-month insurance trial.
