History of the Oregon Rex Cattery
Our story begins in the late 1990s, when we first became interested in breeding rex cats. At the time, there were very few rex cats in the Pacific Northwest, and we saw an opportunity to fill that void. We dedicated ourselves to acquiring the best breeding stock, working with other breeders to establish a strong foundation for our cattery.
Over the years, we have refined our breeding program to focus on producing cats with exceptional health, temperament, and quality. Today, our cats are highly sought after by discerning cat lovers around the world, and we are proud to be one of the premier rex catteries in the Pacific Northwest.
