Hesper – Adopted!


Hesper was brought to Devore Animal Shelter in September of 2017 at only about 5 or 6 weeks old. She was underage and without a mom so she would have been put to sleep had she not been intercepted by a Kitty Devore Rescue member.

She was named after the desert lily (Hesperocallis undulata) and, like the desert lily that starts off as a dull and scraggly plant and blossoms into a big beautiful flower, Hesper came to us as a malnourished and disheveled kitten and has blossomed into the beautiful cat she is today.

Hesper will require someone that doesn’t mind cuddles because she is a chest cat. Once you lay down she likes to take up residence on your chest while calming you with her purr. Who doesn’t want a beautiful fluffball to cuddle with after a long day?!

She spends her play time looking for things to steal from her foster mom. Some of her favorite treasures are dollar bills, receipts, socks (preferably dirty), raw broccoli, napkins (even while you’re using them), or any other object she might turn into a toy to carry around in her mouth and bat around the floor. She can turn most anything into a toy to entertain herself.

Hesper also enjoys trying to get her foster brother Harry’s attention by headbutting and pouncing on him. While Harry, at 4.5 years old, is not usually one to put up with kitten antics, he has taken to Hesper and has done a good job of teaching her boundaries. And while he might not admit it, he has been known to instigate play by teasing Hesper with his tail. He’s helped raise Hesper into the sweet and sassy kitty she is now.

As you can see from Hesper’s photos, she is a stunning cat with her mostly white body and her bushy raccoon-like tail made up of orange and gray tabby markings. But even if she were the plainest of kitties she would stand out with her playful and cuddly nature.

Hesper was adopted January 28, 2018!

Our Kitties Have It All!

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!

So, if you’re looking to adopt a new feline family member and friend, what are you waiting for? Apply to adopt a Kitty Devore Rescue kitty today!

* We transfer the microchip registration to our Kitty Devore adopters 30 days from the official adoption date.
