Wyla – Adopted!

You think I’m gorgeous… You want to kiss me… You want to hug me… You want to love me… You want to smooch me…

Much like Gracie Lou Freebush from the movie Miss Congeniality, Wyla Jean Quackenbush is quite the beauty queen – no doubt about it! She may not be able to make beautiful music by running her paws around water glasses but she can definitely purr her way into your lap and bat her gorgeous baby blues in a way that will melt your heart.

Wyla was rescued from Devore Shelter in late August, 2018, when she was just 2 months old. The shelter had labeled her RO – Rescue Only. That means they found her to be “behaviorally aggressive”. Umm… suuurrrre. She’s aggressive – with her love! We have yet to find a mean bone in this adorable lilac point Siamese mix girl’s body. Wyla is playful, cuddly and quite a social butterfly. She loves other cats and would thrive in a home with another high energy kitty buddy. She can also captivate humans of all ages. And dogs? While she hasn’t been able to charm her doggy foster brother into cuddling with her yet, she hasn’t given up trying. Simply put, Wyla loves everyone!

We can’t guarantee adopting Wyla will bring about world peace but we can say for certain that she will make your world a much brighter, livelier and joy-filled place.

Wyla was adopted November 4, 2018!

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!

So, if you’re looking to adopt a new feline family member and friend, what are you waiting for? Apply to adopt a Kitty Devore Rescue kitty today!

* We transfer the microchip registration to our Kitty Devore adopters 30 days from the official adoption date.
