Erma – Adopted!

Hi, my name is Erma and I am a super duper silly-loving little girl with so much personality.

I was rescued with my sister, Eryn, and my momma, Ertha, from this place called Devore Shelter. My momma, sister and I got really sick while we were there and this wonderful thing called a “rescue” pulled us out of there and they drove us to this other place called “temporary foster home”. There, this kind lady gave us some yummy food and then took us to this place called a “vet” and then, we got all these medicines that were yucky but our “foster momma” said it was all for our own good so I took it like a big girl! Finally, we were all better and then we went to this place called “permanent foster home”! I know, it’s a lot of new words and places but I am super excited of what is next!

This is me with my sister, Eryn

My foster mom tells me I am super fun and am a very brave girl. I love to run around and explore and get on high things because I am brave and not scared of anything! Well, I was scared of that place called “the shelter”. Anyway, now, I have lots of kitty friends and doggy friends and even a kid friend. I like being picked up and kissed and loved but I want to be put down because I am always wanting to explore and find new things in my “foster home”.

I loves me some scratching posts!

Erma and her sister, Eryn, were adopted together on December 4, 2018!

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.
