About the German Rex

The German Rex is a natural breed distinguished by its unique, soft, curly coat resulting from a recessive genetic mutation distinct from other Rex breeds. Originating from post-war East Germany, it is a medium-sized, well-proportioned cat known for its muscular build, rounded head, and large, expressive ears. It is considered an active, affectionate, and intelligent companion.
