Crate for a Devon Rex: common questions
What size crate does a Devon Rex need?
Devon Rexs typically weigh 2.5–4.5 kg, which puts them in the medium-sized range, so start with a crate sized for that band. Sizing varies between brands and individual Devon Rexs differ, so measure your own cat and check the maker's size chart before buying.
What should I look for in a crate for a Devon Rex?
The Devon Rex is a high-energy breed, so a hard-wearing, secure crate matters more than it would for a calmer dog — budget options tend to wear out or fail faster under an active Devon Rex. Above all, match the crate to this breed's actual build rather than buying generic.
Does the Devon Rex's joint risk change which crate to buy?
It can. Devon Rexs are prone to hip or elbow problems, so favour a crate that supports rather than strains the joints and keeps daily movement easy as they age.
