After the heartbreaking loss of Mimi, we think its time to get a new devon for our family (well me!) Anyone out there in cat land know off any available or poss a siamese? Its not been a great year for us with our cats as we had to have our lovely old lady pearl pts a few weeks ago. It will be a nice end to the year.

I am so sorry for your loss, I know just how heartbreaking it is, as I too have lost feline friends one of which was over 20 yrs old and we'd had since 6 weeks of age. I have a customer who breeds Siamese and Orientals, they are pure breds but unless you wish to show them he doesn't register them, so they go as pets but they are absolutely beautiful and it cuts the cost of buying a pure bred cat by over half so may be worht considering for you. I also own three Russian Blue cats that were bred by another customer of mine who is now a wonderful friend as a result. I ended up with Russians via her as we'd both had siamese, which we both adore, but due to all the inherent and genetic defects in the breed nowadays she had looked at breeding Russians as they have none of these issues so making them healthier and happier. They may be worht considering as they are a truly lovely and low maintenance breed but full of character and are eternally kittenlike. If you'd like some details then pm me and I'll send you some numbers. The Russian breeder may also know of Devon breeders too who are reputable as she shows all over the country and has a lot of contacts. Hope this helps and good luck.

Thank you waspblue, pearl was half Russian Blue/Siamese, and she was a very special LADY, she didnt talk to anyone but my daughter for nearly half her life, then thought she might grace us with her presence on our laps! I have found a tiny Devon , from some very nice breeders, who sell the pet quality stock for a very good price and we have to sign to neuter at 6 months, which is a great idea, so will have to see.
