Story

Sam is looking for a new family - We have known Sam since he was a 6 week old kitten who was abandoned underneath our deck along with his 4 siblings. We took them in, got them healthy and they were all adopted out to different family members. Sam went to live with Grandma who lovingly took care of him for almost 10 years before she passed away. Unfortunately, her love of Sam and her confusion in her later years means he never went without a full bowl a food. Sam is a big boy! Sam has been living with us for about the last year and he is a cuddle bug! He loves cuddling up on the couch, sleeping at my feet in bed and getting head scratches from the kids. We need find a new place for Sam to be loved because not only are all of us (2 adults, 2 kids) various levels of allergic to cats, but we have also relocated from a house into a smaller apartment and Sam does not seem like he is as happy as he once was with sharing his space with everyone all the time.

Story

MEET CONCORD! Concord was rescued from Devore Animal Shelter in November 2024, along with her mom Fontana and siblings Daytona, Sonoma, and Darlington. Just a month old at the time, she was fortunate to leave the shelter behind early and grow up in the comfort and safety of a loving foster home. Raised with her family—fondly nicknamed the “Nascar family”—Concord has blossomed into a joyful, affectionate, and resilient kitten. Concord is a playful, loving girl with a big heart and an even bigger purr. She adores chin scratches, tummy rubs, and flopping over to show off her belly in hopes of some well-earned affection. While she’s always up for racing through crinkle chutes or playing with her favorite toys, Concord is also a survivor—she bravely overcame FIP with the help of an 84-day treatment and made a full recovery. She carries a small cloud in one eye from her illness, but it doesn’t affect her vision or slow her down in the least. Energetic, athletic, and endlessly curious, she climbs, explores, and plays with gusto. She gets along wonderfully with other cats and absolutely loves human attention, making her a well-rounded and delightful companion. Concord is especially close to her sister Daytona, and the two are often found cuddled up, playing together, or zooming through the house in tandem. While they would love to be adopted together, Concord is also available as a solo kitty to the right home ready to shower her with love and playtime. If you’re ready to give this spirited sweetheart her forever home, visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to apply today! ** Concord resides in a Kitty Devore Rescue foster home in San Marcos, CA.

Story

MEET KYLO REN! 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.

Story

MEET LEONHARD! This spunky guy was approximately six weeks old when he entered Kitty Devore's foster care on June 23, 2024. Leonhard instantly stood out as the loudest member of his family, singing the song of his people the entire car ride home from the shelter. He was willing to ask questions, voice his concerns, and speak to the management about his demands (mainly for canned food). Anyone who visits his foster home immediately asks about this little kitty with a big personality - even the veterinarian remembers him. His fearless approach to life is most evident in his tussles with the robot vacuum. Only the bravest of cats is willing to face such a foe. But Leonhard also has a soft side that shows when he asks to be picked up and cuddled, falls asleep draped over a shoulder on the back of the couch, or snuggles up with one of his siblings. At the heart of his talkative nature is a desire to be acknowledged and loved. Leonhard has a bow-legged walk and an oddly shaped body, and the vet thinks he might breathe loudly from time to time because of his crooked nose, but these things can't keep a big boss kitty down. He has friends to make, toys to play with, laps to sleep on, and a whole world to explore. Because of his active spirit, Leonhard needs to be in a home with another active kitty that can keep him entertained. He would love to be adopted with his fellow foster brother, Harlo. Shy kitties may not appreciate Leonhard's aggressive approach. His foster home has no dogs, but he would probably do well with canine roommates. Are you looking for a furry best friend who will take an interest in all of your activities and have an unwavering dedication to being your miniature shadow? If so, fill out an adoption application for Leonhard today at www.kittydevorerescue.org!

MEET DAYTONA! Daytona, along with her mom Fontana and siblings Concord, Sonoma, and Darlington, was rescued from Devore Animal Shelter in November 2024 when she was just a month old. Thanks to her young age at the time, Daytona doesn’t remember the shelter, only the loving care she’s received since. Raised in a foster home with her family—the Nascar family—she has grown into a happy, healthy, and affectionate kitten. Daytona is a lively little dynamo whose playful spirit fills every room. She’s especially fond of her crunch balls, often seen carrying them around proudly in her mouth. Whether she’s racing through crinkle chutes or roughhousing with her siblings, she brings laughter and energy wherever she goes. Yet, for all her playful antics, she’s equally known for her sweet, cuddly nature. Daytona greets people by flopping onto her back, paws outstretched, ready for love. She adores lap time, purrs like a tiny engine, and thrives on connection—both feline and human. Daytona shares a deep bond with her sister, Concord, who mirrors her affectionate and playful personality. These two are rarely far apart and would love to continue their lives together in a forever home filled with love, play, and snuggles. However, Daytona can also be adopted individually. If you’re ready to welcome zooming joy into your life, please visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to apply to adopt Daytona today! ** Concord resides in a Kitty Devore Rescue foster home in San Marcos, CA.

MEET DARLINGTON aka MR. WOBBLES! Darlington was rescued from Devore Animal Shelter in November 2024, just a month old at the time, along with his mom, Fontana, and siblings Concord, Sonoma, and Daytona. Too young to remember the shelter, Darlington has only known the warmth and love of his foster home, where he and his "NASCAR family" have grown up safe, healthy, and cherished. Full of affection and playful charm, Darlington is a gentle soul who delights in chin scratches, lap snuggles, and cozy companionship. He's a proud crunch ball collector, often seen trotting around with one in his mouth, and finds joy in racing through crinkle chutes or tumbling in boxes. Darlington is also a true survivor—at just three months old, he lost mobility in both hind legs due to FIP. But after a successful 84-day treatment and a lot of love, he made an incredible and miraculous recovery. He regained full mobility again! Though he still walks with a slight wobble, it only adds to his sweetness and has earned him the nickname "Mr. Wobbles." His resilient spirit, soft purrs, and deep love for people and other cats make him a joy to be around. Darlington is especially bonded to his brother, Sonoma—their days filled with play, cuddles, and companionship. They would love to be adopted together, but Darlington is also available on his own to a loving home, ready to celebrate his unique spark. If you're ready to open your heart to this steady, unwavering, wobbling bundle of love and resilience, visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to apply to adopt Darlington today! ** Darlington and Sonoma both reside in a Kitty Devore Rescue foster home in San Marcos, CA.
