Lela – Young Female

Lela can be a bit shy and even a little hissy at first but when you read her story, you’ll have a better idea why.

It was November of 2018 when we received an urgent message late one evening on our Facebook page. A young woman who lived in Devore Shelter jurisdiction was pleading for our help. She’d found a tiny baby kitten near a dumpster in her alley whose eyes were completely encrusted and sealed shut. Although the woman had a lot of love to give this little kitten, she didn’t have the financial means. Without hesitation we urged her to take her to an emergency veterinarian we work with and who also happened to be local to her for medical treatment.

Thankfully, fast action was able to save one of Lela’s eyes but the other didn’t fare as well . Despite the infection, there was little we could do. We were told that when she got a little older and she was ready for her spay procedure, it would need to be removed… and when she was, we did. So it’s understandable why Lela is a little wary of people, other kitties and other animals at first. She just wants to be sure you won’t hurt her. However, once she knows she can trust you and that you’ll love and care for her, she warms up quickly and becomes quite the purr machine.

Winky kitties – which is what we call one-eyed kitties – don’t let their compromised sight stand in the way of anything other kitties can do. If anything, some of them go out of their way to be downright amazing just to dispel any doubts. If you’re looking for a sweet girl to love and you’ve got a gentle soul and a kind heart, maybe Lela is the perfect kitty for you. Fill out an adoption application for her today!

What’s Included In Our $125.00 Adoption Fee?

Kitty Devore Rescue is committed to rescuing responsibly. 

This commitment means we hold ourselves to a high standard of care when it comes to the kitties in our foster care program. It also means each Kitty Devore Rescue kitty has undergone a comprehensive vetting and post-shelter rehabilitation process before we consider them ready for adoption.

Some rescue groups and shelters offer kitties for adoption for a fee less than ours – but their fee may include fewer vetting procedures that we consider necessary to ensure a kitty’s optimal health. Some offer kitties for adoption who have had no vetting procedures at all.

If you were to adopt a kitty for less or one “free to a good home” and, as a responsible pet parent, opted to have all the vital and necessary health procedures done that every cat in Kitty Devore Rescue care receives, this is what that “free” kitty is likely to cost you:

Spay/Neuter – $60.00 to $150.00

FeLV and FIV Testing – $40.00 to $80.00

FVRCP Vaccine(s) – $10.00 to $25.00 per vaccine (kittens need a series of 3 for optimal immunization)

Rabies Vaccine – $10.00 to $25.00

Microchip – $25.00 to $50.00

Flea/Earmite Treatment – $15.00 to $30.00 per monthly dose

Deworming – $15.00 to 25.00

Exam fee each vet visit – $30.00 to $75.00

Total: $195.00 to $455.00

•

These are just the basics.

Most veterinarians charge somewhere within these price ranges for these basic procedures.

Kitty Devore Rescue kitties undergo basics and, in some cases, even more! Kitties in Kitty Devore Rescue foster care who are in need of dental, medical or surgical intervention receive immediate and quality veterinary attention and treatment. We address all observable and discoverable health issues – both internal and external. If there is an issue, we address it – even if that issue costs us thousands to treat and correct.

Once adopted, we provide all our adopters with full veterinary records and history of their newly adopted KD kitty, information about the microchip transfer* and an adoption box containing toys and treats for their new feline family member by USPS mail within 3 weeks of the official adoption date.

Additionally, the adoption fee is refundable in full if things don’t work out within the first 30 days. Even after 30 days, if for any reason you need to return your adopted KD kitty, we will always welcome them back into Kitty Devore Rescue foster care. We will always be their safety net for the duration of their lifetime.

And yet, our adoption fee is still $125.00 for every cat and kitten. Or $225.00 for two!

So, if you’re looking to adopt a new feline family member and friend, what are you waiting for? Apply to adopt a KD Kitty today!

* Microchips are transferred from KD’s microchip registry to the adopter 30 days from the official adoption date
