Elko – Adopted!

Elko was adopted September 21, 2020!

Elko is fostered by one of our amazing foster moms in Seattle, WA. She is only available to adopt to WA residents.

Little Elko came sooo close to taking the Devore shelter express to Rainbow Bridge, but Kitty Devore Rescue wasn’t going to let that happen to this sweet baby girl!

Although the shelter aged her as 4 years old when she was brought in on the 4th of July, 2020, her petite physique and high energy suggests she could be much younger.

Once Elko was rescued and allowed to recuperate from her shelter ordeal in a foster home environment, she really blossomed into a great little cat. Super playful, beautifully socialized and loving any kind of attention, Elko would make an amazing addition to your family or as your new best friend. Even though she’ll get along with your other animals, she’s going to try her darndest to be your bestie!

She loves wet food, springy toys to bat around, cardboard scratchers … the only thing missing is YOU. Apply to adopt adorable Elko today!

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!

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