Question: Do You Do Out Of State Adoptions?

Question: Do you allow Out-of-State Adoptions?

Answer: Generally, no.

We do require homechecks, so we need to ensure one of our members would be able to do a homecheck at the potential adopters home. If this cannot be done, the adoption cannot be approved. We do have members all over Southern California. We also have a hub of KD members based in Seattle, Washington and a hub of KD members in Yuma and Phoenix, Arizona. These members can do homechecks in the surrounding area of these two cities. Beyond this, no - we do not do Out-of-State adoptions.

We also do not do Out-of-the-Country adoptions. For one, they are too complicated to coordinate. The time and energy required to coordinate just one out of state adoption takes away from our ability to coordinate rescues for other cats in the shelter - which is also incredibly time consuming and often an involved process requiring the assistance of several members of the team to pull off.

There are homeless animals in every shelter in every county in every state that are in need of rescue. Other countries have no shortage of homeless animals in need as well. We don't see a reason to put a cat through long distance transport when there are animals in need everywhere, nationwide. Adopt locally - because there are lives right in your vicinity that won't cost you much to save - and they'll be so grateful for it!

Rousey's Story! A Special Kitty Finds Forever!

Beautiful black and white girl, shelter name was Rhumba, was picked up from the streets of Rialto in March 2016 and taken to the Devore Animal Shelter. She was originally listed as Rescue Only for Behavior but then quickly changed to Friendly/Adoptable once they saw how sweet she was. Unfortunately, being locked in a kennel stressed Rhumba out to the point that she began attacking her own tail, not playfully but with real anger. The shelter changed her status back to Rescue Only and put her on the list to euthanize.

I had visited Rhumba at the shelter twice while taking videos of the cats and really fell for her. I was already overflowing with foster and personal cats at home, though, so I waited to see who would rescue her. But as the day went on, I realized I would just have to make it work or she would die. Nell, a fellow foster mom, offered to take Rhumba to the vet and get her through the ISO period. Safe at Nell's house, she completely stopped attacking her tail.

Once she got to my house and my husband and I got to know her better we decided to change her name to Rousey. She proved to be one of the easiest going fosters I'd ever had. As cute and sweet as she is, I never expected to be fostering her for almost 2 years! Rousey attended many adoption events and stayed at the Petsmart adoption center in Santa Ana several times in hopes of finding her forever home. When KD secured another adoption center, this one at the Petco in Santee, I signed Rousey up for a stay in November. And that's where she found her happily ever after!

One of the Petco employees, Jenn, fell in love with her! Rousey is now named Moo-Moo and is getting all the love and attention that she always wanted and deserved. She is an only kitty but has a couple lizards and hamsters and fish to entertain her when her mom is at work. And when her mom is at home, she gets lots of snuggles!

I am so happy to be a part of the Kitty Devore Rescue team where I get to help wonderful kitties like Rhumba/Rousey/Moo-Moo find their happily ever afters!

SAYING GOODBYE TO MICHELLE. AN ANGEL LEFT US.

It is with a deep and incredible sadness that we share the news that one of our longtime members of the KD family, Michelle Profant, passed away last night around 8:45 PM.

Michelle was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer that metastasized into her bones and lungs. At the time she was diagnosed last summer, the doctors had given her 3 to 6 months to live. Despite rounds of chemo treatment and periods where it looked as though the cancer might be minimizing, in the end, the battle was too much for her body to withstand. We knew the end was near when she let us know recently she'd be going into hospice care.

We can’t even put into words how profoundly heartbreaking this news is to us and I know many of you who know and love Michelle as we do, will find this news just as devastating.

Michelle applied to foster with KD and joined our rescue on June 3rd, 2013. In that time she has had a hand in saving countless lives. The kitties she pulled from safety at Devore for Kitty Devore Rescue and KD Rescue partners alone total 311 kitties.Additionally, she has fostered many kitties along the way, too. She’s attended adoption events, helped out other foster parents by picking up their kitties and getting them to the vet when they could not, transported short and long distances…we could go on and on. Michelle is one of the members who has helped make KD the force for good that it has become. She is one of the people we considered to be the heart of this team and we're sure we're not alone in that feeling.

In 2014, when Kitty Devore Rescue hit hard times financially and was struggling to meet the needs of the kitties in our care, Michelle, without letting KD administrators or other members know, wrote to Examiner journalist, Sharon Gilbert, to plead KD's plight. The article Sharon wrote brought in new fosters and donors that enabled us to continue the good fight for the kitties of Devore.

Michelle was known for her amazing sense of humor, her giving spirit, her kindness, her generosity, her willingness to do whatever needed to be done on behalf of the kitties in need without complaint, with a happy heart and with a generosity of time, energy and spirit unlike any other. As a KD member, she never engaged in gossip or badmouthing anyone. She was truly in it for the kitties 100% of the way.

When a kitty didn't get saved, it was Michelle who always reminded us we needed to do better, try harder, find a little more space by saying at the conclusion of a daily rescue thread, "And nobody came..." This single statement reminded each of us why we were all here - to be there for each kitty at Devore we had committed ourselves to save.

In June, when she became aware her time was limited, she asked KD to care for her kitties and, within a few days, we had secured alternate placements for not only all the fosters she'd still had in her care but also many of her adopted kitties, too. We wanted to be sure Michelle was able to ease her heart and mind, knowing her kitties would all be safe and secure, so she could focus on the battle ahead.

Last night, when her longtime friend and fellow KD member, Michelle Johnson, contacted us to let us know of her passing, the entire KD membership grieved and we will continue to do so because the loss of the force of nature she was is heartbreaking to all of us. However, we know Michelle is now at the Rainbow Bridge, greeting all the kitties and pups who will make that journey and will be assuring each one they are safe and loved.

Rest in peace, Michelle. We love you. We always will. You are and will continue to be so greatly missed by all who knew you.

Michelle leaves behind her husband, Steven Horine, her mother, Gerda Profant, several former Devore kitties that Steven and Michelle opted to keep as well as numerous family members and even more friends who loved her dearly.

Pulling a Cat When She Went Into Labor!!!

If you follow our networking page for the Devore cats: https://www.facebook.com/KittyDevoreRescueNetwork/ you may recognize Antigone. She is a woe begotten, pregnant kitty who found herself not only in the shelter but on the daily euthanasia list.

A rescue partner stepped up for her and we sent our puller. As our puller arrived at the scene Antigone had Anti-Gone into full labor and delivered a kitten on her way to the foster. This was an unusual situation for even an experienced rescuer, but we’re happy to say she has delivered adorable baby #2 and is all set up at her foster’s house. Our rescue head has said "Every pull is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get…" but our network was collectively surprised she decided to go into labor right before the "pull". Haha.

January kittens!? You bet. It’s sadly always kitten season in socal. Always remember to spay and neuter!!! Join us @ Kittydevorerescue.org to save some kitties in 2018!

Here are the official rescue efforts for Antigone if you’re inclined to help offset costs for a very… unique transport:

Rosellyn's Plea: I Want To Be Loved

Our foster momma kitty, Rosellyn, is hoping to find her forever home.

Rosellyn was two years old and pregnant when our rescue saved her from the high kill shelter in Devore April 2017. She raised 5 adorable kittens in our home, all since adopted, and she is still waiting for a forever friend to find her and fall in love.

She is a special and sweet companion kitty, who is very playful with a strong hunting instinct, and is super soft. Her calico coat is gorgeous, with her "torbie" markings, aka patched tabby. Plus, she has an inviting white belly. Adding to her beguile are her eyes, slightly different in hue, one gold, and one approaching pumpkin. As you stare into her eyes to decipher the difference, you are sure to fall in love!

This girl gets along well with other friendly kitties, especially males. (We have noticed. 😻) She doesn't hide from children visitors and allows their gentle attention. She hasn't had opportunity to make any dog friends in our house but she is likely to make friends easily with a friendly and gentle pup.

Please find adoption info here and thank you for sharing!
