Buying a Cornish Rex
Buying a Cornish Rex is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
Are Cornish Rex cats really hypoallergenic?
They are often better tolerated by some allergy sufferers because they shed less and have a very short, wavy coat. However, no cat is truly hypoallergenic, since most people react to skin and saliva proteins, not fur length. Spending time with the breed before adopting is the only reliable way to test your personal reaction.
What is the temperament of a Cornish Rex like?
This breed is typically active, people focused, and playful well into adulthood. They tend to enjoy interactive games, often follow their owners around the home, and may seek frequent physical contact. Many are vocal and expressive, which can be charming to some households and overwhelming to others.
Do Cornish Rex cats get cold easily because of their short coat?
Yes, they are more sensitive to temperature than many other cats due to their very fine, sparse coat. They usually prefer warm spots, heated beds, and sunny windowsills. Most should live strictly indoors, with extra care taken in colder climates to prevent chills and drafts.
How much grooming does a Cornish Rex need?
They require less brushing than most cats, but still benefit from gentle grooming to remove loose hairs and skin oils. Harsh brushing can damage the delicate curls, so a soft glove or hand smoothing is usually sufficient. Regular ear cleaning is often necessary, as their large ears can accumulate wax and debris.
Are Cornish Rex cats good with children and other pets?
They are usually sociable and playful, which can make them good companions for respectful children and friendly pets. Because they are active and people oriented, they generally enjoy interaction rather than a quiet, hands off lifestyle. Supervision and careful introductions are still important, as with any breed.
What health problems are Cornish Rex cats prone to?
The breed can be predisposed to certain issues such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a heart disease), dental problems, and some hereditary muscle or neurological conditions in specific lines. Their delicate coat and skin may also be more prone to irritation or sunburn. Choosing a breeder who screens for known genetic and cardiac issues reduces risk.
Why does a Cornish Rex feel oily or need more frequent baths?
Because the coat is very short and lacks a typical guard hair layer, skin oils are not absorbed and distributed in the same way as in other cats. Some individuals develop a slightly greasy feel or visible buildup, especially on the tail or chin. Occasional gentle baths with a cat safe shampoo can help, but overbathing may dry the skin.
How active are Cornish Rex cats and how much playtime do they need?
They are among the more energetic and athletic cat breeds, often enjoying climbing, jumping, and running. Daily interactive play, puzzle feeders, and vertical spaces like cat trees help prevent boredom and destructive behavior. Many remain kittenlike in activity levels well into their senior years.
Is a Cornish Rex suitable for apartment living?
They generally adapt very well to smaller spaces as long as they receive enough mental and physical stimulation. Because of their social nature, they can become stressed if left alone for long periods with no interaction. Enrichment, companionship, and warm, cozy resting spots are more important than floor space.
What should I know about feeding a Cornish Rex and their slim, fine‑boned body?
They have a naturally lean, whippetlike build, so a healthy adult should look slim but muscular, not bony. Their high activity level can mean a slightly higher calorie need, but overfeeding can still lead to weight gain, which stresses their fine frame. A balanced, high quality diet and regular body condition checks with your veterinarian are recommended.
