Lamar – Adopted!

Lamar was adopted Thursday, October 26, 2023!

Lamar entered Devore Animal Shelter in late June 2023, looking pretty beat up and very rough around the edges. Shelter staff estimated him to be around six years old, and yet, despite his world-weary appearance, this good-natured sweetheart responded to attention and affection with a heartbreaking eagerness. Clearly, he knew love and affection at some point in his life before he was left on the streets to fend for himself.

Every summer, the intake number at the shelter jumps high, and so does the spread of kitty colds. Unfortunately, Lamar caught it while awaiting someone to come for him, so when Kitty Devore Rescue finally sprung him, his foster mom needed to nurse him back to health. Lamar did test positive for FIV, but he’s very healthy and strong and with care and a good diet, we know he has many healthy years ahead of him. His teeth weren’t in the best shape and he needed a few extractions so he underwent some dental work, too. However, when he recovered, he thanked her heartily and often. Lamar, we discovered, is quite the conversationalist! He loves to greet visitors and chat about anything on his mind! He’ll shadow you everywhere. But, most of all, this wonderful guy enjoys napping, and even more so if he can catch some Z’s alongside his human companions. Maybe the deprivation he experienced while on the streets thwarts his pickiness, but when it comes to eating, Lamar‘s a hearty eater and gobbles down all types of pâtés (especially the juicy ones) kibble, too. He’s happy to chow down with other cats and won’t steal their food, but he expects the same respect! We encourage interested adopters to invest in a kitty brush because nothing sends Lamar to the heavens than having his coat brushed.

He may not be the suavest kitty around, but Lamar makes up for it with his loving, amiable nature. He’s looking for a new best human buddy or family to call his very own. Maybe that’s you! If so, fill out an adoption application for Lamar today!

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.
