Chief O’Brien – Adopted!

I’m the biggest the litter, but I’m also the most laid back. Pet me, and I start to purr right away, I love to have my big nose and face rubbed. My momma, Tribble, was an outdoor cat, then she became pregnant in April, 2018, and was rescued right before having myself and my siblings. We all got to grow up indoors, so that means I’m litter box trained and spoiled.

I can be very silly at times, and I love to play with round objects, or things that make noise. If I see a red dot I’ll chase until I’m worn out, then I’ll chase it some more. I also really love cat nip, I’ll roll all over the place if you give me some. I’m a big lovable boy, I can sometimes be a bit clumsy, but I’m also very affectionate, and handsome. I really like to walk around and get petted all over; I’ve also been known to enjoy a belly rub or two.

I grew up with siblings – Kira Nerys and Benjamin Sisko – and other foster cats, and am very relaxed, so I would likely do well with other cats. I’ve never met a dog, so I’m not sure how I would feel about living with one. I am playful, but I also really enjoy lounging in a comfortable spot. I love attention and affection, and am very loving in return. I’ll relax in your lap if you pick me up, and I come to you for affection if you call me.

Chief O’Brien was adopted December 2, 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.
