Big Mike – Adopted!

Big Mike was adopted June 4, 2022!

Momma Evie was rescued from Devore Shelter with her three newborns in tow in May of 2021. Big Mike was her only son. He’s grown into a sturdy little guy – built like a tank and stands a little lower than most kitties. But he’s an absolutely adorable, affectionate boy.

Mike can be shy when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly once he gets to know you. Be prepared for kisses because Big Mike loves to give them. Loves to receive them, too! He’ll tolerate being held for a short while but prefers to stand on his own two feet while you pet him instead. Mike thrives in the company of other kitties. Wrestling with his besties is one of his favorite activities. He’s quite the groomer, too. Oh, and eating! Did we mention this big boy loves to eat? Yes, he sure does!

Mike does have one special need, though. He has minor entropion in his right eye. Entropion is a condition where the eyelid and lashes fold inward toward the cornea of the eye. It can be uncomfortable. Mike‘s entropion is minor and, for that reason, he’s not a good candidate for surgery. Instead, our vet recommends daily, inexpensive medication to address his condition. It’s something he’ll need for the duration of his life.

If you’re looking for an amiable guy who will fill your life with good times and lots of love and affection, and you don’t mind giving him a little extra by way of food, treats, and daily eye drops, don’t hesitate to fill out an adoption application for Big Mike today!

Our Kitties Have It All!

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.
