Story
Shirla and her two sons, Shadd and Shaydon, were admitted to Devore Animal Shelter in June of 2018, when shelter staff estimated Shirla to be about three years old. By an unusual bureaucratic twist, the little family was transferred to Riverside Shelter in early July. Although Kitty Devore Rescue pulls exclusively from Devore, we never stopped considering them “ours.” The KD team worked quickly to bring Shirla and her boys safely into our foster care program, where they finally landed exactly where they belonged. While her boys have long since found their forever homes, Shirla is still waiting for her perfect people to come along. Shirla is a spunky, confident, and delightfully feisty girl who knows what she wants and isn’t shy about it. She wants all the toys, all the treats, and all the attention, thank you very much. Though she’s a full-grown adult, she has the playful energy and spark of a much younger cat. Shirla expects to be queen of the household and would thrive as an only kitty, ruling her domain with confidence and charm. She’s fine with dogs, provided they respect her personal space. Above all else, Shirla is a people-cat. She truly loves human companionship and bonds deeply with her person. If you’re looking for a devoted, spirited companion to be your one and only, Shirla has been waiting patiently for you. Visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to fill out an adoption application and give this wonderful girl the forever home she deserves.

Story
We didn't know, and the shelter staff didn't know, but she was expecting when we rescued Rosy in early August 2023! Her foster parents didn't anticipate kittens as part of the fostering deal, but they learned the happy news after a veterinary exam appointment. We were concerned though. Rosy, just one year old then, was so thin and malnourished. We had just enough time to help her fortify her body in anticipation of her bundles of joy. A month after her rescue, Rosy welcomed identical gray quadruplets on September 6th - Ace, Charlie, Bootz, and her single daughter, Jannie. Rosy, just like an actual rose, takes time to bloom. Her foster parents discovered that patience and dedicated love enabled Rosy to blossom into the most loving of companions to humans and other cats alike. After a hard life on the streets, she relishes her leisure time and indoor life, lounging in her bowl scratchers for hours on end. She appreciates chin scratches and is endlessly fascinated with Bird TV. Above all else, she loves her treats and anyone can entice her with Churus or Temptations. Of course, these don't stunt her appetite. Rosy never misses a meal! As soon as she hears the pop of a can or the clattering of delicious pieces of goodness filling her bowl, she beelines to the kitchen faster than you can blink. Despite her rough start, she's landed soft, and her spirit remains resilient and indomitable. As a social girl, Rosy would thrive best in a home with other kitties and humans who strive to earn her trust and love. You'll know you've succeeded when she bestows you with your first love bite. If you're convinced Rosy is the perfect kitty for you, fill out an adoption application to adopt her today at www.kittydevorerescue.org!

Story
Nulo has always been the type of kitten who keeps you laughing all day long. This handsome dilute grey tabby may be quiet, but his personality is HUGE. One of his favorite hobbies is sneak attacking people during playtime: carefully creeping up before dramatically pouncing like the fierce little hunter he believes he is. He's outgoing, playful, curious, and always wants to be involved in whatever is happening around him. But once he is done showing off his silly side, Nulo turns right back into a cuddle bug who loves affection and hanging out with his people. At this point Nulo has really grown into the perfect balance of playful kitten energy and affectionate companion. He's social, lovable, and impossible not to adore. Nulo is fully vetted: fully vaccinated, fixed, microchipped, dewormed and flea treated. If interested in meeting Nulo, please start by completing the adoption application.

Story
Louie is a handsome, silly wild child! He loves to fly around the house, run up and down his cat tree, and wrestle with the tolerant dogs in his foster home. He is very social and likes to be with you as much as possible... he might even perch on your shoulder! His foster calls him their "chubby shadow." He loves nice dogs, and is an arrogant "alpha" male around other cats.
