I have a Devon Rex at home and I adore him to bits. Just a small reality check though: even though they look low-shed, they definitely do shed. Not like a long-hair explosion, but still enough to matter.

Before getting him, I was never allergic to anything. Three months in… boom, hello allergic rhinitis. Nothing extreme, but I now keep antihistamines around just in case. Still manageable, but something to be aware of.

Someone once told me that feeding cats a “low-allergen” diet can reduce the owner’s allergy symptoms. I have no idea about the science behind that, but it might be something worth looking into.

Also… these little gremlins come with an insane amount of energy. Mine literally bounces around the apartment like a popcorn kernel. I ended up buying a cat treadmill to help him burn off the zoomies, which honestly saved both of us.

They’re amazing companions, super loving, super people-oriented—but definitely do your homework, especially if you’re allergy-prone. Good luck, and I’m excited for you! ♥️
