Sergei – Adopted!

Sergei was adopted on October 23, 2021!

Hi, I’m Sergei nice to make your acquaintance. I am a handsome 4 year old, neutered, white and black fluffy shorthair kitty. I was adopted as a kitten with my brother Fedorov, however, we were returned to our foster home over year later. Our adopter moved and felt he could no longer keep us safe through no fault of ours. I would prefer to be your one and only kitty. I get along great with the dogs in my foster home, so a doggy sibling or three is fine with me.

So to summarize, I am not a fan of other cats, I do like dogs but guess what? I L.O.V.E. people! I am such an affectionate boy with my foster mom and dad. I just can’t seems to get enough love and petting. I like to follow them around the house and strategically place myself in their eye line. I’ll hop from cat tree, to cat post to ottoman etc., just to make sure they can see me. If that doesn’t work then I will stand on my two back legs and push my head into their dangling hands until they get the point purring the whole time. If even that doesn’t work I will reach out and tap their arms with a paw and give them my best sad eyes. My foster mom says I am such a goof. In my first home my adopter had grand kids who would come visit and I did great with them. I love toys, treats and catnip too. I am great at using my scratching posts and cardboard flats. I am already litter box trained, microchipped and up to date on my vaccines.

One thing about me that you should know – in 2019, I had to go to the hospital because I had a blocked urethra and could not potty properly. This is a serious condition and, if left untreated, could have been fatal. Thankfully, my rescue got me the help I needed and now I’m doing great! But I do have to eat special prescription diet food to ensure it doesn’t happen to me again. Although I am healthy in every single way again, my adopters will need to continue to feed me my special diet so I stay that way.

I am ready for you to fill out an application and come to meet me. I know we will be fast friends!

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.
