Update the records a stranger would use first
After a move, the most important paperwork for a Devon Rex is the paperwork a stranger, a clinic, or a shelter would reach for before calling you. Update the microchip registry with the new address and phone number, and confirm the change in writing rather than assuming the online form went through. Replace the identification tag on her collar, and check that the engraved number still matches the registry entry. A Devon Rex tends to stay close to her people and to seek warm spots, so a lost Devon Rex is more likely to slip into a neighbour's home or a heated outbuilding than to roam far, which makes an accurate tag and registry entry the fastest route home.
Tell the veterinary clinic before the moving boxes land
A Devon Rex's fine, wavy coat and large ears are part of her breed character, and a new clinic benefits from knowing what is normal for her before it ever examines her. Send the new clinic the previous clinic's summary, including vaccination history, any past skin or ear notes, and the name of the food she eats. Ask the old clinic to note her coat type and her habit of seeking warmth, because a clinician who has never met a Devon Rex may otherwise flag her sparse, rippled coat as unusual. Keep a copy of the transfer letter yourself, and carry it to the first appointment at the new address so nothing depends on a fax arriving on time.
Refresh every file that still shows the old address
Work through the quieter files next, because these are the ones people forget until they are needed urgently. Update the address on any pet insurance file, any boarding or daycare registration, and any pharmacy or delivery account that sends her food or supplies. If a neighbour, friend, or regular sitter holds a spare key and an emergency sheet, give them a fresh copy with the new address, the new vet's name, and the phone number that will actually reach you during the move. Note her feeding times and her preferred warm sleeping spot on that sheet, since a Devon Rex who cannot find a warm resting place in a new house may become restless and vocal.
Prepare a moving-week folder for the Devon Rex
During moving week, keep one folder by the carrier with the updated microchip confirmation, the vet transfer summary, the new tag details, and a short note about her routine. Include her litter preference and the name of the quiet room she will stay in while doors are open, because a Devon Rex follows her people from room to room and is easily caught underfoot in the chaos of movers. The folder also protects you if she slips out: you can hand a complete description, including her wavy coat, large ears, and colour, to anyone helping search. Once the move is done, check each registry and clinic file again, since a change made in a rush is the change most likely to contain a typo.
Keep the new address in one place going forward
A move is the moment a Devon Rex's records are most likely to scatter, so finish by gathering the corrected versions into a single packet you can hand to a sitter, a boarder, or a new clinic without hunting through drawers. Store the microchip number, the vet summary, the insurance details, and the emergency contact sheet together, and update that packet whenever the phone number or the vet changes. That way the next move, or the next unexpected trip, starts from a clean set of records rather than a fresh round of corrections. KinsLe makes that habit easy, because a Devon Rex's Pet Passport in KinsLe gathers her records into one portable packet you can open for a new clinic or sitter right after moving house.
