Letty – Adopted!

Letty was adopted May 28, 2020!

Letty has had a long road to happiness. In May of 2018 she was surrendered to Devore Shelter after having given birth to and nursed a litter of three male kittens. The boys were given away at 8 weeks old however, Letty, who had been left outside the entire time, was expecting again when admitted to the shelter. Her pregnancy went unnoticed by shelter staff but, once she was rescued by the Kitty Devore Rescue team, her foster mom noticed the clear signs and one of our trusted veterinarians confirmed 5 more kittens were on the way! Check out her adoptable boys – Monaco, QTip and Eugene Bean!

Thankfully, Letty had time to restore her health and gain strength before delivering her new little ones – each one happy, healthy and miraculous. Even though she was just a teen, herself, they couldn’t have asked for a more loving and attentive mom. When they were weaned and she was ready, Letty was spayed and has come into her own. No longer needing to be the caretaker to her grown children, her true personality has finally had a chance to emerge. Letty is very sweet, enjoys giving and receiving affection and is quite playful. She often greets new people who visit her foster home and enjoys the attention as well as being pet and held. Her foster home is comprised of many other kitties of all ages, shapes and sizes as well as a medium sized foster dog. Letty is quite easy going and gets along well with everyone.

So while she experienced a rocky start in life, she’s been walking her own unique road to happiness with a little help from her foster mom and KD Rescue. Once she finds her forever home, her journey will be complete! If you think your home and family are a perfect match for this amazing girl, she’d love to meet you!

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.

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!

* Microchips are transferred from KD’s microchip registry to the adopter 30 days from the official adoption date
