A Legacy Built on Love, Knowledge & Excellence

NunkeriRex was born from the friendship of two families brought together by a shared admiration for one remarkable breed. What began with conversations between two mothers soon became a partnership built on trust, knowledge and a commitment to preserving the elegance, health and affectionate nature of the Devon Rex.

One family has lived with Devon Rex cats for more than thirty years, while the other fell in love with the breed through a single cherished companion. Together, those journeys have become a lifelong commitment to breeding exceptional cats whose beauty is matched by their temperament.

Our shared deep affection for the breed naturally evolved into a commitment to breeding and showing, becoming a true way of life. Every family member has their own special Devon - above all else - our cats are cherished pets first and foremost.

Our breeding program reflects decades of thoughtful planning, international collaboration and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Through carefully selected bloodlines sourced from around the world, we have developed a contemporary Devon Rex that is recognised for its balance, refinement and unmistakable presence.

Admired for their expressive head type, oversized ears and graceful structure, our Devons possess more than beauty alone. Their affectionate nature, playful intelligence and deep connection with their families are the qualities that truly define the breed—and the reason so many people fall in love with life alongside a Devon Rex.

Living with a Devon Rex is unlike sharing your home with any other breed. They are constant companions—joining the school run, curling beneath the doona on slow mornings, and happily supervising dinner preparations from the comfort of your shoulder.

Their cheerful chirps, expressive tails and boundless curiosity become part of the rhythm of everyday life. They seek connection, thrive on companionship and have an extraordinary ability to make themselves the centre of every family moment.

At NunkeriRex, we believe the greatest gift we offer isn’t simply a beautifully bred Devon Rex—it’s the opportunity to experience the unique joy of sharing your life with one. Before long, they cease to be a pet and become family. And once you’ve lived with a Devon Rex, it’s hard to imagine life without one.

“Nunkeri” is an Aboriginal word meaning beauty and excellence.

It is a name that reflects everything we strive to preserve in the Devon Rex—beauty in form, excellence in health, intelligence, temperament and the lifelong bonds these extraordinary cats create with their families.

At NunkeriRexs, our name is more than an identity; it is the standard we aspire to with every generation.
