New Cat...?

I'd probably recommend against getting ANY cat if you're allergic.

Are you also allergic to dogs? You could check out some shelters near you, maybe some itty bitty little dog would love to go home with you.
I've only ever met one devon rex, he had the biggest personality I've ever seen in a cat, and he could talk (meow?!) your ear off! But I have no idea if they're all like that.

imo all animals have spunk, more than others. All animals like people have different personalities

I'm not sure if this is true, but we actually had a Devon Rex returned to our shelter because the people were allergic to him. They were allergic to cats but thought a Devon Rex would help.

Are you allergic to any other animals? Probably safer to go for another animal you're not allergic to.. or see if there's a Devon Rex rescue group and meet their cats. See if you get itchy or sneezy that way?

I suppose it would depend on the severity of your allergies. My mum is allergic to a lot of things and when we first got our cat (who is a domestic short hair), she would wake up every day with a massive puffy face. But after a few months that stopped and she built up a resistance to him. He can still make her sneeze if his hair gets up her nose and if he scratches her it will puff up.....but otherwise she is fine around him now. So I guess it just depends on how allergic you are to cats and what you are willing to put up with.
Your average domestic short hair would probably be easier to find to adopt anyway.

So true! My cat, who is chewing my elbow instead of his delicious catnip toy, is testament to that!

I know people who do!
Good:
they are adorable,
no alergy probs of course! ;]
Bad:
they tend to be more susceptive of skin problems and allergies, so make sure you get your cat checked with a vet regulary, and consult the breeder (if you get it from a breeder) about the parents, their skin problems health probs etc if they have any, and what you can do to help prevent that!
and as always, i advise, no buying any from pet shops. If you are to get a pure bred, breeders with good heritage all the way. Or of course there is the preferred option of finding a hairless cat of some description at a shelter!
let mw know of any more questions,
im happy to help.

but first double check on whether your allergy is a cat... or the hair.

I've heard of people becoming desensitized to allergies after being exposed to the source for a period of time. I think there is also a kind of immunotherapy for cat allergy sufferers too?
