Tippy Too – Adopted!

Tippy Too was adopted Saturday, January 8, 2022!

Meet Tippy Too! In December of 2016, when she was 8 years old, Tippy Too‘s owner abandoned her at Devore Animal Shelter for being “too fat.” Upon rescue, we found her to be distraught and depressed. Who wouldn’t be? Even kitties are sensitive to being fat-shamed and abandoned! Sadly, one of the ironic effects of her abandonment is that she wouldn’t eat. We understood her grief, upset, and anxiety. While we did get her interested in food again, it took quite some time before her true nature revealed itself to us.

Tippy Too gradually settled into her foster home. Her foster parent worked hard to build a relationship with her. She eventually grew to trust her foster family. She’s now a bright, lively, and active senior who trots out to meet anyone who enters the front door to welcome them home. She’ll happily tell you all about her day and, when you sit down to rest, she takes that as her cue to follow you to a chair, jump into your lap, and keep you company. While she’s still sprightly for an old girl, she does have her curmudgeonly moments and, for that reason, Tippy Too would be best suited in a home where there are no young children. Her current foster family consists of two teenage boys, one of whom she absolutely adores. She needs a person or family who can appreciate her voluptuous loveliness and be willing to understand her periods of sensory overload and overwhelm by maintaining a quiet home with low-level activity.

Tippy Too would love nothing more than to be adopted by someone she can lavish with affection. She’s the type of kitty who really gets attached to her humans. Are you seeking a devoted companion who avidly listens to your stories, sympathizes with your troubles, but also brightens your day as soon as you walk through the door? Well, no further than this wonderful girl! Fill out an adoption application for Tippy Too 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.

^ Take a peek inside our adoption box! ^

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
