Promoting & protecting all rex breeds

“Where Felines Come First”

Cornish Rex

Aristocratic in appearance they are intelligent, very affectionate and gentle whilst still getting up to mischief and never grow old.

Devon Rex

The defining features of these endearing little cats are their big eyes, high cheekbones and velvety soft coat that ripples and waves under your touch.

Selkirk Rex

The Selkirk Rex is an easy-going relaxed cat that resembles a soft, stuffed toy that you just want to pick up and give a good cuddle!

La Perm

These charming friendly cats have an elegant athletic build and are hardy, healthy and suitable for a range of owners and households.

Club Motto

'Where Felines Come First' was chosen as the club's motto, and the RCA has always tried to be guided by those words.
The Committee, the majority having been together since formation and long term friends, will support the RCA regardless of current politics.
The RCA is a club to be enjoyed because it was developed from the love of cats - long may it remain.

The Club has as its aims:

To protect the individual integrity of each of our four recognised breeds.
To ensure that our breeders abide by the Club’s Breeders Code of Conduct at all times.
To support, mentor and advise new or inexperienced breeders/fanciers.
To help ensure any rex at risk is placed in a secure, permanent home.
To work for a wider recognition and appreciation of Rex Cats

Please refer to our Available Kittens page to find all of the kittens currently available with our existing members.

Occasionally we may have a cat looking for a home*. There are many reasons for this, the cat may be unhappy in his/her current home, the owner has passed away, or a split in a relationship has necessitated a move where an animal cannot be accommodated.
