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 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!

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