Tobie – Adopted!

Tobie was adopted September 13, 2020!

Tobie is a short-haired, tortie beauty who was estimated to be about a year old when she and her little biscuits – Brioche and Naan – were rescued from Devore Shelter in May of 2020.

Once rescued and after time spent in the safety and security of their foster home, Tobie proved to be a protective, sweet momma for her first and only batch of adorable kittens. Now that her babies are ready for homes of their own, Tobie is ready to find her forever home where she gets a chance to be someone’s baby.

Being a young girl herself, Tobie is very playful and energetic when needed but can stop for a good cuddle at any point. She has never met a person she didn’t like, but is a little territorial around other cats. This likely left over from her instincts as a mom, and could get comfortable with other cats in the right situation. She can be chatty and will hold a conversation with you if you keep it going. She loves being held like a baby and purrs very loudly.

Tobie is a happy, confident girl who is ready to be the star of the show in her new home with people who will love her for a lifetime. Fill out an adoption application for Tobie today!

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!

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