Sweet William- Young Male

February 28, 2020 by KD

Sweet William’s foster mom, Aileen, was smitten with him and his entire family before she’d even met them. She happened to see a video of him being born at Devore Shelter in May of 2019. He’d been born breech. She held her breath in anticipation of his first breath and when he finally inhaled and let out a cry, she cried in relief. His momma, Sascha, was so brave. No one at the shelter had realized she was so close to giving birth so there were no blankets or towels for comfort and warmth in her kennel that day. Aileen felt strongly that she needed to help this little family. By the end of the following day, all four members of this little family were nestled snugly in the warmth and safety of her home.

While she adored each member of the family, Sweet William was her favorite. He was special … and, as it turned out, special needs. It was discovered this little guy with the large, soulful eyes had a grade 3/4 heart murmur. This is a whooshing and swishing sound made by turbulent blood in or near the heart. It’s not a disease but often indicates an underlying heart problem. Sometimes kittens under 6 months old have weak hearts that strengthen as they age. We waited until Willie was over 6 months old to see if this was the case. Sadly, it wasn’t. Sweet William’s heart murmur was caused by a small congenital defect in his ventricular septum – the wall that separates the lower chambers of the heart from one another. It’s not something that can be corrected – but it’s also not something that compromises his health or well-being.

Sweet William is a purring, darling boy. He loves fetching toys, chasing strings, and playing with other kitties. Lap time, cuddly bedtime, and petting time are his favorite times of day. His big soulful eyes draw you in and never let go. His little heart may not be perfect but he will give all to you. If this little guy has captured your heart, apply to adopt him today!

What’s Included In Our $175.00 Adoption Fee?

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!

So, if you’re looking to adopt a new feline family member and friend, what are you waiting for? Apply to adopt a KD Kitty today!

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