Tigerlillie – Adopted!

Tigerlillie was adopted May 24, 2020!

Tigerlillie came to Kitty Devore in March 2020 when she was surrendered to the shelter by her family for scratching. In her foster family, she was given time to blossom and become the queen she is.

Tigerlillie is a spunky calico who knows just how beautiful she is. Being a queen she has strong opinions that she is happy to express. Once warmed up Tigerlillie loves to spend time with or near her humans. She also loves playing with wand toys, feathers, and laser pointers. She needs a forever family that leads a predictable routine and has patience for her occasional attitude. In her foster family she hasn’t had any problems with scratching, but will hiss when she doesn’t like something. She has been around other cats but became insecure and territorial in that situation. Tigerlillie needs to go to a home where she is the only pet with no small children. Despite the only difficult transition in her life, Tigerlillie is a very affectionate cat who just wants the simple things in life: to play with toys, be fed treats, and cuddle up in a warm lap.

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 $125.00 for every cat and kitten. Or $225.00 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
