Elinor – Adopted!

In September 2018, Momma Elinor found herself a single, unwed, hungry, and very pregnant 3 year old young lady at Devore Shelter. Two days after her babies Sora, Kairi, Merida and Riku were born, we rescued Elinor and her little newborn family. They have been safe, well-fed, loved and well-cared for in their foster home ever since.

From the day she was rescued all Elinor has wanted was to love and be loved. Like all ginger kitties, she’s sunshine personified. She loves to warm people by being close. She can be timid at first, like the sun peeking through the clouds, but once she knows she is safe with someone she radiates hugs and cuddles every minute she can. While there are some kitties who aren’t fond of being picked up or held, Elinor thrives on it. While she is an adult, she still has an abundance of playful kitten energy that keeps her forever young at heart. She loves toys of all kinds and is determined to one day catch that pesky red dot that dances around the living room!

With patience and proper introductions, Elinor would enjoy being in a home with other kitties to play with, however, she would prefer a home without dogs. Elinor is comfortable with older, kitty-savvy kids. She currently lives with a 13 year old human who dotes on her ceaselessly.

Elinor was adopted April 26, 2019!

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!

* We transfer the microchip registration to our Kitty Devore adopters 30 days from the official adoption date.
