Benjamin Sisko – Adopted!

I’m the most vocal of my litter, much like my name-sake from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, I’m not afraid to speak my mind. If I want your attention, which I usually do, I won’t hesitate to tell you. My momma, Tribble, was an outdoor cat, but she was rescued shortly before having me and my siblings, so we all got to grow up inside in a safe warm place.

I’m a bit of a wild child, I really like to investigate things, and I love to climb and play. I’m very good at jumping for toys, it’s one of my favorite things to do, my head will go all over the place and before long I’m jumping around like I’m made out of rubber and springs. By the way, catnip is this amazing thing that makes me super silly, do you have any? Sometimes I jump on the furniture, but I get down if you tell me to.

I grew up with my siblings – Kira Nerys and Chief O’Brien – and other foster cats, and am endlessly curious; I would likely do well with other cats. I’ve never met a dog, so I’m not sure how I feel about them yet. I am very playful, but I also really love affection, head rubs are the best. I love to purr and be petted, you can pick me up and I’ll just relax in your arms; I’m also fully litter box trained. I just want a nice home with lots of food and toys, it doesn’t take much to make me happy.

Benjamin Sisko was adopted December 1, 2018!

Kitty Devore Rescue commits itself to rescuing responsibly.

We hold ourselves to a high standard of care regarding the kitties in our foster care program. Each Kitty Devore Rescue kitty undergoes 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 an adoption donation less than ours. Still, they may include fewer vetting procedures that we consider necessary to ensure a kitty’s optimal health. Some offer adoptable kitties who have had no vetting procedures at all.

“Free to a good home” kitties are not necessarily free to adopters. Responsible pet parents who care about the vital and necessary health procedures every kitty needs to ensure good health will find their out-of-pocket costs looking something like this:

Spay/Neuter – $80.00 to $200.00+

FeLV and FIV Testing – $40.00 to $80.00

FVRCP Vaccine(s) – $15.00 to $40.00 per vaccine (kittens need a series of 3 for optimal immunization)

Rabies Vaccine – $15.00 to $40.00

Microchip – $25.00 to $50.00

Flea/Earmite Treatment – $20.00 to $30.00 per monthly dose

Deworming – $15.00 to $30.00

Exam fee each vet visit – $40.00 to $80.00

Total: $250.00 to $550.00

•

These are just the basics.

Most veterinarians charge somewhere within these price ranges for these standard and essential procedures.

Kitty Devore Rescue kitties undergo basics and, in some cases, even more! Kitties in Kitty Devore Rescue foster care needing 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 our adopters with complete veterinary records and the history of their newly adopted KD kitty while in our foster care program. Additionally, we relay information about the microchip transfer* and an adoption box containing toys and treats for their new feline family member by USPS mail within three weeks of the official adoption date.

We refund 100% of the adoption donation if things don’t work out within the first 30 days of the adoption date. Even after 30 days, we always welcome previously adopted Kitty Devore kitties back into our foster care program, remaining their safety net for their lifetime.

And yet, our minimum adoption donation requested per adoptable cat or kitten stands at a flat $200.00 and $375.00 if you adopt two!

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

* We transfer the microchip registration to our Kitty Devore adopters 30 days from the official adoption date.
