Breed-appropriate screening
Health planning begins with the breeding cats, line knowledge, and disciplined pairing decisions rather than after-the-fact paperwork.
Devon Rex Health Guarantee
A Devon Rex health guarantee should be clear, documented, and responsibly written
As a Devon Rex breeder in California, we approach health guarantee language with restraint and precision. Screening, veterinary care, documentation, and follow-through are part of the program, not marketing language added at the end.
Written guarantee
Health records
Veterinary oversight
Lifetime support
Health Position
The best health guarantees are precise enough to be credible.
No breeder can guarantee that a living animal will never develop a condition. What we can do is breed thoughtfully, use appropriate health testing, communicate clearly, and stand behind the kittens we place.
What This Includes
What families should expect from a responsible Devon Rex health guarantee
Veterinary oversight
Kittens leave with age-appropriate veterinary care, documentation, and transition guidance that reflects responsible placement.
Written health guarantee
We explain what is covered, what requires timely communication, and where breeder and buyer responsibilities begin and end.
Lifetime breeder support
Families have a breeder they can return to for guidance after pickup, not a transaction that ends on go-home day.
Health Commitment
The strongest trust signal is consistent follow-through
Families should see a breeder who communicates clearly about the limits of a guarantee, the role of screening, buyer responsibilities, and the difference between careful preparation and certainty.
Health records prepared for placement
Breed-appropriate health testing philosophy
Veterinary care completed before go-home day
Our Commitment
What our health guarantee is designed to communicate
1
Clear discussion of what a health guarantee can and cannot responsibly promise
2
Health documentation prepared and delivered at placement
3
Support during the transition into the new home
4
Careful language that avoids sales-style exaggeration
In practice
That means the terms are written, the records are organized, and the breeder is still reachable when questions come up after the kitten arrives home.
Monitoring
How we think about health testing and preparation before placement
Line knowledge and pairing review before breeding decisions are finalized
Health testing and screening appropriate to the breed and the individual cat
Observation of kitten development, condition, and readiness before placement
Communication with families about routine veterinary care after go-home day
Before, during, after placement
1
Before placement, health work is built into selection, screening, veterinary oversight, and early care.
2
At go-home, families receive records, care guidance, and written terms so expectations are documented clearly.
3
After placement, breeder support remains available because responsible work continues beyond pickup day.
FAQ
Common questions about health testing and guarantees
Do your kittens come with a health guarantee?
Yes. Our kittens leave with a written health guarantee and supporting records. We explain the scope of that guarantee clearly and avoid making promises that no responsible breeder should make.
Do you test for HCM?
Cardiac health and HCM screening are part of how we think about responsible Devon Rex breeding. Specific timing can vary, but the subject is treated seriously in program oversight and long-term planning.
Are Devon Rex cats healthy?
Devon Rex can be wonderful companions, but like all pedigreed breeds they come with health considerations that should be discussed honestly. A responsible breeder should explain those considerations clearly rather than making sweeping promises.
