Destry – Adopted!

Destry was adopted Sunday, February 4, 2024!

A citizen trapped Destry when he happened to wander through their property in search of food. Although desperate to escape the confines of the narrow cage, beating his face against the bars that imprisoned him and wounding himself in the process, the citizen offered him no empathy and hauled him to Devore Animal Shelter for impoundment. There, he continued to wait in an even smaller, perhaps more comfortable, confinement for someone to liberate him. With new animals admitted every day, scarcity of space persists in this shelter, and soon, Destry’s time was nearly up. It didn’t help his cause that he’d contracted a virulent kitty cold while there. Injured and sick, prospective adopters passed him by. But we knew a grand destiny awaited Destry, and in mid-June of 2023, we swooped in to reintroduce him to a broader expanse of love and care.

First, Destry, whom doctors estimated to be about three years old, required urgent medical attention. He spent the following week post-rescue in hospitalized veterinary care. Then, when he’d recovered, a very caring lady picked him up and, along with several other kitties, he traveled along the open highways from California to Seattle, WA, to his new foster home and the beginning of his new life.

Destry, sweet and gentle by nature, took everything in stride. Once introduced to his new foster home and foster siblings, he developed a new sense of safety and assurance. Despite his ordeals, he came to see they all served a wonderous purpose, delivering him to a world where people cared, loved him, fed him regularly, and provided him with toys, warm blankets, and kindness around every corner.

Now, Destry’s just waiting for his new forever people, the person or family destined for him. Might that be you? If so, destiny is calling! Fill out an adoption application to adopt Destry today at www.kittydevorerescue.org!

Destry is one of our Washington state kitties and is only available for adoption to Washington residents.

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.
