Cats are territorial creatures. In the wild, a cat will determine his home base - the place he eats and sleeps - and then project outward from this space to encompass a range around it that he’ll consider as belonging to him. All within that territory - especially all food sources - he considers his own. A cat will patrol his territory. He’ll find a high spot within it to … [Read more...]
Bertie – Adopted!
His original name while awaiting rescue from Devore Shelter back in July of 2013, was Burdock but his foster mom felt that name didn’t suit. Bertie was much better - and so Bertie, he became!

Gracee – Adopted!

Lana – Adopted!
Her original name while awaiting rescue from Devore Shelter back in June of 2014, was Miss Priss but her foster mom, who tended to rename her foster kitties after silver screen movie stars, felt she had the vivacity of Lana Turner and so, Lana was to be her name. Granted, she was only 2 months old at the time so it would be awhile before she grew up into the knockout bombshell … [Read more...]
Lexa – Adopted!
What’s the difference between a calico and a tortoiseshell? It’s a question we are often asked. First, almost all calicos and torties are female. The coloring between the two are similar and people often get them confused. A tortie has a blend of orange, black and brown coloring in her coat and a calico has these three colors plus white. So let us present to you, Lexa - one of … [Read more...]
Neena – Senior Adult Female
Adoption Application Status: Neena currently has 0 prospective adoption applicants. It’s believed that orange tabby females are rare. The truth is it’s not that orange female cats are rare, it is simply that an orange cat is more likely to be a male. For a female cat to be orange, she must inherit two orange genes - one from her mother (orange, calico, or tortoiseshell) and … [Read more...]
Jabbers – Adopted!
My name is Jabberwocky but my foster family calls me Jabbers. When I first arrived after being rescued from Devore Shelter in December of 2016, I was quite a talker. I was young then; only a year old and, like most teenagers, I was quite the chatterbox. I’ve matured. Now, I speak when I have something important to say and, of course, when I’m talking to my best friend, Kuro. … [Read more...]
Kuro – Adopted!

I’ve grown up in the safety and comfort provided by my amazing foster … [Read more...]
Dijon – Adopted!
Dijon was rescued from Devore Shelter by the Kitty Devore Rescue team back in June of 2016 when he was only 2 months old. The shelter had labeled him “Rescue Only”.

They felt he needed the help of a rescue group to help him overcome his extreme shyness around people. And … [Read more...]
Patti – Senior Adult Female – Adopted!
Patti was rescued in Summer of 2017. She was estimated to be approximately 8 years old at the time she was admitted into foster care.

Since we don’t speak “Cat”, we can only guess - but we’re certain this lovely lady has experienced some very interesting times! One … [Read more...]
