Kira Nerys – Adopted!

I’m the smallest one of my litter, but just like my name-sake from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, I’m very confident and sure of myself. My momma, Tribble, was an outdoor cat, and was pretty young when she had me and my brothers in April of 2018, but we got lucky and had the chance to grow up indoors.

I’m just as silly as my mom, but I’m not timid at all! I love to meet new people, and to strut my stuff. I like to greet people with a friendly head-butt or face rub. My favorite thing to do is play, and if you dangle toys above my head, sometimes I’ll even chatter and talk. Feathered toys, or toys that have a bell are the best in my opinion, but catnip filled toys are also great treats. Aside from playing, I really enjoy being held or relaxing in a warm lap, and it doesn’t take much to make me purr.

I grew up with siblings – my brothers, Benjamin Sisko and Chief O’Brien – and other foster kitties, so I’m used to other cats, but I’ve never met a dog. I’m not mean or aggressive; mostly I’m a very playful cuddle bug who loves to investigate new things. I’m fully litter box trained, but I do sometimes jump on desks and dressers. My foster mom thinks I would enjoy learning how to walk on a leash too.

Kira was adopted on January 20, 2019!

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.
