German Rex

Felis catus

✨ Wissenswertes

The German Rex was discovered about the same time as the Cornish Rex but from a completely different (and separate) genetic mutation — they look similar but are unrelated.

The first curly-coated breed, discovered in post-war East Berlin. Medium-sized with a rounded head, well-developed cheeks, and a soft, silky, wavy/short curly coat. Gentle, patient, and very devoted to their families.
