Walnut – Adopted!

Walnut and his brother, Filbert, were adopted June 27, 2020!

Introducing Walnut! Walnut, his brother, Filbert, and their momma, Aveline, were rescued from Devore Shelter in late summer of 2018. Aveline is French for “Hazelnut” so all together, they make up our adorable little “nut family”!

Wally is certainly the nuttiest of the bunch. He and Filbert were just 6 weeks old when they were rescued from the shelter, so they’ve grown up in foster care, but that didn’t stifle this nuts’ confidence one bit. Once he’s decided you’re okay, he’s friends with everyone — feline or human — and he even tolerates the dog when she’s behaving!

Walnut loves to wrestle and play with his brother, and spring toys or wand toys are his favorites. He and Filbert both have a little cowlick in the fur on the top of their heads, causing a subtle mohawk, so they’re both just a little bit punk-rock, which comes out during their rambunctious play time!

Wally is a loveable guy — he seeks his foster mom out for pets, often head-butting her while she’s blow drying her hair in the morning! He’s not the type to curl up in your lap, but he’s certainly game for attention and will never turn down a good scratch from his human. If he’s not playing or looking for attention from his humans, he can usually be found sprawled out in a cat bed, often sharing with Filbert or Aveline, and taking turns grooming his bunkmate.

While they don’t need to be adopted together, Walnut would love to stay with his momma and/or brother, as they are his favorite cuddle buddies! Either way, he’d be happiest with another feline friend.

Wally tested negative for FIV and FeLV, he’s been neutered (though it was delayed just a bit due to an undescended testicle … which is how the vet came to give him the moniker “one-nut-Wally”!), he’s microchipped, and he is current on his vaccinations. If you think your home could use a little nutty infusion, Walnut’s the nut for you! Just file out the adoption application here.

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
