Daytona came into rescue life early, along with her mom Fontana, and siblings Concord, Sonoma, and Darlington, after the NASCAR family was pulled from Devore Animal Shelter in November 2024. Just a month old at the time, Daytona has no memory of the shelter—only the safety, affection, and steady love she’s known ever since. Raised in a foster home with her family, she has blossomed into a confident, healthy, and irresistibly affectionate young cat.
Daytona is pure kinetic happiness. A playful little dynamo, she’s always on the move—racing through crinkle chutes, wrestling with her siblings, and proudly parading her beloved crunch balls clenched in her mouth like hard-won trophies. Her energy is infectious, and her antics are guaranteed to make you laugh daily.
But don’t let the zoomies fool you—Daytona has a wonderfully tender side. She greets people with an enthusiastic flop onto her back, paws splayed wide in an open invitation for love. She adores lap time, purrs like a tiny engine warming up, and genuinely craves connection. Human companionship lights her up just as much as feline play.
Daytona shares a special bond with her sister Concord, who matches her playful spirit and affectionate nature step for step. The two are often found together and would be thrilled to continue life as a duo in their forever home. That said, Daytona can be adopted on her own if the right situation comes along.
If you’re ready to welcome a little zoom, a lot of love, and a kitten who will make every day brighter, visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to apply to adopt Daytona today.

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.
