Ellen DeGeneres – Adopted!

Ellen DeGeneres was adopted on Saturday, October 30, 2021!

Many of our foster parents who take feline families in need into their care choose name themes. When Momma Blanca and her five kittens were rescued from Devore Shelter in May of 2021, their foster mom named each kitty after a person she admired and who champions the welfare of animals: Momma Dian Fossey, Steve Irwin, Bindi Irwin, David Attenborough, Jane Goodall, and Ellen DeGeneres.

In addition to her career in television, Ellen DeGeneres is an active animal rights advocate. She’s provided a platform for animal rights groups on her daytime TV show. She has encouraged people to adopt a turkey for Thanksgiving rather than eat them. Our Ellen was named in her honor. While she may not dance, she is a gold medal champion at Fetch! Toys are preferred, but if there are none available, that doesn’t deter our Ellen. She’ll find something fetchable and drop it at your side as if to say, “Let’s play!” Your job is to throw the object as far as you can. Her job, to retrieve it and bring it back to you – which she will accomplish deftly, time and time again and as long as you’re willing to play her game. When you’re done playing, she might not be. She’ll parade around the room with her toy, growling with pride at her prey.

Ellen also enjoys sprawling herself languidly on your lap if you’re sitting or your chest if you’re lying down. She doesn’t mind being picked up, carried around, snuggled, and pet. She also expects to sleep in the same bed as her favorite human. Hopefully, you’re not a light sleeper because her purr is very loud when Ellen is content.

Ellen DeGeneres and her buddy, Lindsey

Ellen is a playful bundle of energy and happiness and is looking for a person or family who enjoys a similarly active lifestyle. Does that sound like you? If so, apply to adopt Ellen DeGeneres today!

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.

^ Take a peek inside our adoption box! ^

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
