Kylo Ren's journey began in true hero-in-the-making fashion: a tiny underdog facing impossible odds. He was surrendered to Devore Animal Shelter in September 2025 at just 4 weeks old -- far too young to survive on his own. In years past, kittens under 8 weeks without mothers were automatically euthanized, but today the shelter calls on rescue partners like Kitty Devore Rescue when their own fosters are full and gives us until day's end to intervene. For Kylo, that lifeline opened the door to a whole new galaxy. A temporary foster stepped up instantly to guide him through his vulnerable neonatal stage, and when he was nearly three months old and strong enough to join a star system of his own, a long-term foster family welcomed him in. It was his foster mom's husband -- an avid Star Wars fan -- who looked at this tiny, dark-furred apprentice and christened him Kylo Ren.
Despite the fearsome Sith-Lord name, Kylo Ren's heart is firmly on the Light Side. This sleek little panther is all warmth, purrs, and devotion. His favorite place in the universe is anywhere he can curl up against you -- chest, arms, lap, or shoulder -- becoming your personal pocket-sized co-pilot. He's impressively well-mannered for a youngling: fully litter-box reliable, a respectful scratcher, and a gentle, mindful player. His playtime missions include chasing comet-like wand toys, batting at planets disguised as bouncy balls, and investigating every crinkly artifact in his orbit. Social by nature, Kylo adores other cats, gets along beautifully with kids, and even considers dogs suitable members of his intergalactic alliance.
If you're seeking a kitten who brings both cosmic charm and down-to-earth affection, Kylo Ren is ready to join your crew -- no lightsaber required. To adopt this playful, cuddly, star-bright companion, visit www.kittydevorerescue.org and submit an adoption application. Once approved, an adoption officer will guide you through the next steps on your journey. Bring Kylo home... and may the purrs be with you.

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.
