Etta – Adopted!

Etta and her siblings, Walter and Lincoln Lee, were all adopted together on October 18, 2021!

After a harrowing wait in the shelter, Etta’s mom, Margery, and siblings were rescued on June 10, 2021. She and her siblings – Olyvia, Astridd, Walter, Billy Bell, Jonesy, and Lincoln Lee – had just turned 9 weeks old when the entire family safely exited Devore Shelter in San Bernardino, California. From there, they made their way into KD foster care. Our team members in California temporarily fostered them before traveling to their long-term foster home with one of our very best foster moms in Seattle, Washington.

Are you looking for a wild ‘n crazy girl kitty? Then we have the kitty for you! Etta is spicy to the core and the daredevil in the family. She has hyper-developed curiosity and energy, loves to play with everything, and especially enjoys escaping her enclosure and being near-impossible to catch.

Happy Etta is fully vetted and ready for a forever home that can provide a safe and stimulating environment for this super active kitten. She’ll do great on her own, but consider adopting her with one of her rough-and-tumble brothers who, unlike mere humans, will be able to keep up with her nonstop zoomies and antics.

All members of this beautiful little family are part of our Seattle, Washington, division, so they are only available to adopters in and around the Seattle area. If you are interested in adopting adorable Etta and/or one of her equally sweet siblings or their mom, Margery, fill out an adoption application 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
