Filbert – Adopted!

Walnut and his brother, Filbert, were adopted June 27, 2020!

Introducing Filbert! Filbert, his brother, Walnut, and their momma, Aveline, were rescued from Devore Shelter in late summer of 2018. Aveline is French for “Hazelnut” so, all together, they make up our adorable little “nut family”!

Bertie is a big, goofy lug! He and Walnut both have a little cowlick in the fur on the top of their heads, causing a subtle mohawk, so they’re both just a little bit punk-rock, which comes out during their rambunctious play time!

Filbert is quite a bit bigger and stockier than his brother, and he likes to throw his weight around when they play. He also has a crooked little tail (it was like that when he was rescued at just 6 weeks old), and we think it gives him some character!

Filbert loves to chase a spring toy, bat at a wand toy, or show off by prancing around with a fuzzy toy in his mouth that he’s “killed”! This handsome panther is a little shy and timid at first with new people, but once he learns that he can trust you, he likes to lean in for a good head scratch or some pats from his human.

He likes to be where the action is, just not right in the middle of it, so a home without too much commotion would be best for him. He loves to curl up on the couch by his human or in a cat bed (sometimes squeezing in with both Walnut AND Aveline!) and relax. While they don’t need to be adopted together, Filbert would love to stay with his momma and/or brother, as they are his favorite cuddle buddies! Either way, he’d be happiest with another feline friend to keep him company.

Filbert has been neutered and microchipped, he’s tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and he’s up to date on his vaccinations. You can have your very own house panther if laid back Bertie sounds like he’s the perfect nut for you and your home! You can fill out the adoption application here.

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
