Dinky – Adopted!

dinkyDinky is exactly as her name suggests, very small. At 11 months old she is a whopping 5.3lbs. She is expected to stay small as she grows into an adult.

As her foster, I’ve had the joys of watching her grow from 6 weeks old to the pretty girl she is now. We jokingly call her the “grandpa cat” because of the shape of her head, which is kind of blocky, and the funny expressions she makes. Also, her meow is low. The best way to describe her meow is like an old smoker, low and gravelly.

She is shy with new people and would take some time to come out of her shell in a new household, but she is soooo worth it. She is very loving and is the best night time cuddler. She enjoys playing with our other kitties. And don’t let her size fool you; she will chase around any kitty while playing. She is not afraid!

She does not seem to be a fan of dogs, and if she had her choice, would rather not be in a home with doggies.

Dink is a very very special girl and needs a home that will take excellent care of her. She does have a minor heart murmur which has gotten better with age. Originally it was listed at a grade 3 out of 6, but was recently reviewed to a 1-2 grade. So any future anesthesia needs to be done with great care, and with a very low dose and should be discussed with the vet before any surgeries. Because of her size it’s recommended to keep her on a very healthy food diet, and to keep up with regular vet visits. Kitty Devore had blood work done to see what could be the cause of her small size, but the blood work came out fine, with no explanation. Her new family should keep up with regular visits to a vet that can get to know Dink and track her growth.

What’s Included In Our $175.00 Adoption Fee?

Kitty Devore Rescue is committed to rescuing responsibly. 

This commitment means we hold ourselves to a high standard of care when it comes to the kitties in our foster care program. It also means each Kitty Devore Rescue kitty has undergone 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 a fee less than ours – but their fee may include fewer vetting procedures that we consider necessary to ensure a kitty’s optimal health. Some offer kitties for adoption who have had no vetting procedures at all.

If you were to adopt a kitty for less or one “free to a good home” and, as a responsible pet parent, opted to have all the vital and necessary health procedures done that every cat in Kitty Devore Rescue care receives, this is what that “free” kitty is likely to cost you:

Spay/Neuter – $60.00 to $150.00

FeLV and FIV Testing – $40.00 to $80.00

FVRCP Vaccine(s) – $10.00 to $25.00 per vaccine (kittens need a series of 3 for optimal immunization)

Rabies Vaccine – $10.00 to $25.00

Microchip – $25.00 to $50.00

Flea/Earmite Treatment – $15.00 to $30.00 per monthly dose

Deworming – $15.00 to 25.00

Exam fee each vet visit – $30.00 to $75.00

Total: $195.00 to $455.00

•

These are just the basics.

Most veterinarians charge somewhere within these price ranges for these basic procedures.

Kitty Devore Rescue kitties undergo basics and, in some cases, even more! Kitties in Kitty Devore Rescue foster care who are in need of 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 all our adopters with full veterinary records and history of their newly adopted KD kitty, information about the microchip transfer* and an adoption box containing toys and treats for their new feline family member by USPS mail within 3 weeks of the official adoption date.

Additionally, the adoption fee is refundable in full if things don’t work out within the first 30 days. Even after 30 days, if for any reason you need to return your adopted KD kitty, we will always welcome them back into Kitty Devore Rescue foster care. We will always be their safety net for the duration of their lifetime.

And yet, our adoption fee is still $175.00 for every cat and kitten. Or $325.00 for two!

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

* Microchips are transferred from KD’s microchip registry to the adopter 30 days from the official adoption date
