Rescue FAQs

Kitty Devore Rescue is a close-knit, all-volunteer nonprofit founded in 2011 with one heartfelt mission: to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats and kittens from Devore Animal Shelter in San Bernardino, CA, and surrounding areas. When we began, only a handful of cats ever made it out of the shelter alive. Today, because of our relentless dedication and the shared efforts of fellow rescue partners, that save rate has soared to nearly 90%.

We’re not a shelter—we’re a foster-based family. Each cat we save lives in the loving care of one of our foster guardians, spread across Southern California and beyond, until they’re ready to meet their forever person. Our volunteers balance careers, families, school, and life’s many demands, yet still pour their hearts into rescue work every single day. For many of us, this isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are.

Every adoption is a promise fulfilled. Every donation fuels another chance. And every cat we place in a warm, devoted home is a story of hope come true—for them and for the people who welcome them.

At Kitty Devore Rescue, we believe every life matters, and every cat deserves to be safe, cherished, and loved for a lifetime.

Additional adoption info

All Kitty Devore Rescue foster cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, tested for FeLV and FIV, treated for internal and external parasites, and microchipped. In addition, all observable and diagnosable medical and behavioral concerns are addressed prior to adoption clearance.

Our adoption fee is $200.00 for one cat, and $375 for two.

Please Note the Following Adoption Policies:

• We reserve the right to deny any adoption application at our discretion.

• Most of our foster cats are cared for in Southern California. However, we also have foster homes in Northern California, Seattle, WA, and Kalispell, MT. Before applying, please confirm that the kitty you're interested in is located within your state or a nearby supported region.

• With the exception of our fosters located in Seattle and Kalispell, we are unable to adopt to applicants residing outside of California. Please understand that we do not ship cats—our adoptions are local and personal, not transactional.

• Every adopted kitty will receive a personalized adoption box by mail within three weeks of the official adoption date. This box includes a selection of goodies for your new companion, as well as a complete set of veterinary records detailing the care they received while in our foster program.

• We initiate the transfer of microchip registration to the adopter 30 days after the official adoption date.

• We offer a full refund of the adoption fee if the cat is returned to our care within 30 days of the official adoption date. After 30 days, adoption fees are non-refundable.

• Should a medical issue arise within 30 days of the official adoption date, please contact your Kitty Devore representative immediately for guidance and support.
