Available Kittens and Cats

Kittens available

So you have decided that maybe a Devon rex is the breed that you would like to join your family. If you are replacing a previous pet please keep in mind that all cats have different personalities and respond to their owners in different ways. Devons are remarkably different from any other breed. The moment they arrive you will experiance this. So if you had a Persian, a British, a Bengal you will be amazed how different they are. Devons love to be around humans, if not on humans. The breeds that most resemble a Devons personality are Burmese or Sphynx.

Devons like all breeds, have some breed related illnesses so please be sure to read our Care and Health page. Remember our aim is to produce healthy cats and kittens and find them safe and secure homes.

Visiting Loriendale

Kitten adoptees are welcome to visit but only after the kittens have had their 1st vaccination and that it has time to build up immunity so this usually is around 9 weeks of age. We like minimum handling and its always good to have showered and wearing clean clothes just

before visiting. It may seem extreme but it is the best way to minimize risk for our cats and kittens. We are a health conscious cattery. Thank you in advance for this consideration.

application for adoption

We like to collect a little information about our prospective kitten owners so we can assure the best home for each kitten.

Please download, or cut/paste the kitten questionnaire, conplete it and return to loriendaledevons@xtra.co.nz

This will also help us:

  • identify the cat/ kittens colour sex

  • gives information on the environment that is offerred for the cat/kitten.

  • gives all the information the New Zealand Cat Fancy requires for registering the cat/kitten with their new owner

Once you have completed and returned the Loriendale Devons Kitten/Cat questionnaire you will be added to our kitten list.
