Becky Patterson, founder of Charmed Purr Devon Rex grew up in Northern Wisconsin with cats, dogs and horses.   She went to college for graphic and website design and moved to SW Florida in 1999 and started a career in real estate.  After 10 years in the real estate market and experiencing the ups and downs, she decided that she wanted to go back to her first love which was animals.  She started doing cat foster and rescue (despite her husband's allergies) which then led to working at a local vet clinic and becoming a vet tech.  A couple of years later she sat her husband down and told him she wanted to breed and show Devons and well the rest is history.

Becky was introduced to the Devon Rex breed in 2002 while searching for a cat breed that her husband's cat allergies could tolerate.  They purchased 2 pet Devon Rex females and the love affair began.  A few years later she purchased 2 more pet Devons.
