Dearie – Adopted!

Dearie was rescued from Devore Shelter in October 2016. She was approximately 9 months old at the time of her rescue. Her first foster family consisted of three other kitties, two very large dogs and a newborn baby human. Dearie got along well enough with the other kitties but was skittish around the dogs to the point that her foster mom thought it might be in her best interest to be in a home without dogs. She felt it was causing Dearie anxiety and was not beneficial to her. 

In her next foster home, there was only one other kitty in the home but there were older children. The noise, hustle and bustle of a home with children under the age of 10 made Dearie just as anxious as the dogs in her first foster home had.

Her third foster home, however, has been the charm. While there are other kitties in the home, there are no dogs and no children. Not long after her arrival, it was clear Dearie felt safe in this new space – and that’s not only wonderful for her but also good for us so that we know what kind of home she would be happiest in.

Dearie is on the subdued side but she is also sweet, loving and curious about the world around her. The first thing you’ll notice about her is her striking amber eyes. They are big and bright! And if it weren’t for the jingle bell on her collar she would be amazingly stealthy! She knows what she wants and isn’t shy about asking for it. She loves eating although she does require a high quality food to keep her occasional anxious tummy issues in check. Dearie is also a lover of laps so, if you’ve got one, you’ve been warned!

This dear girl will be a purrfect fit for someone looking for a constant companion, as she will give love as happily as she receives it!

Dearie was adopted on February 9, 2018!

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.
