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 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.
