Tallahassee – Adopted!

Tallahassee and her sister, Charlotte Ann, were adopted together on Thursday, January 30, 2025!

Meet Tallahassee! This beautiful girl was approximately 2 months old when she and her sisters, Dallas, Denver, and Charlotte Ann, entered Kitty Devore’s foster care in June 2024. She’s a bold, outgoing girl with a personality as striking as her tortoiseshell coat. A true diva at heart, she knows what she wants and isn’t shy about letting you know—whether it’s dinner served on time (she’ll give you a few polite but firm meows) or a little extra love and attention. Don’t be surprised if she climbs into your lap, nuzzling your hands to remind you she’s the star of the show.

Tallahassee doesn’t like to be left out! If she catches her human cuddling with other kitties, she’ll plop herself right in the middle of it all—even if it means landing right on top of her siblings. She’ll then snuggle up as close to her human as possible, purring and nudging for pets to reclaim her spotlight. She loves being the center of attention! This spirited feline adores playtime, whether darting around with her sisters, scaling the cat tree, or exploring every cardboard box in sight. But when the excitement winds down, she’ll happily curl up on a warm lap for TV time or nap quietly in her favorite hidden spot, enjoying a bit of solo downtime.

Tallahassee has a magical way of making you feel truly seen with her soulful, knowing gaze. Her “tortie-tude” is as endearing as it is entertaining, and she’s become a favorite in her foster home for her charm and spirited independence. While she loves her sisters, she isn’t bonded to any of them, but does need a feline companion in her forever home—and she’d be thrilled if that could be one of her siblings!

Tallahassee would thrive in a family with respectful children and could adjust to life with a dog if appropriately introduced. She’s ready to bring her vibrant personality and endless affection to her forever family—could that be 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.
