Story
Pawd is a sweet boy. He’s a typical sassy cat. Loves to play with cat toys. He gets along well with other cats. Prefers a home without dogs or young children, but is not aggressive at all towards dogs or kids, simply fearful. We are in need of rehoming him due to the worsening health of my mother, we are no longer able to give time and care he deserves.

Hello, this is my precious little buddy named Shrek, He is Very Quiet and calm when it comes to playing with adults. He is 2yrs old, he doesn’t really like kids from ages 4-11, but he normally does enjoy being around Adults. He does love to sleep and eat Forsure, his diet is just dry cat food, hes not at all picky, he like some toys but not all, he really is just a chill cat. Now im just looking a new place for him to go to. He really does love his elders, and Adults. He will always meet you at the door and swiop through your legs to let know that he wants you to pet him.

I found Enki when he was only 4 weeks old. I have had him for 5 years. His a good boy but very shy. He’s great with other cats. He loves to chirp and sleep. I would like him to go to a good loving home that’s patient with him and understands his shy personality.

Had her for three years, super sweet and independent. She just decided she really doesn’t like my dog anymore and she sits at home miserable and scared and I feel so bad for her to live like this. Nothing should live in fear like that, she gets along well with other cats!

Story
I’m looking for a loving forever home for my beautiful 6yr old tabby girl! She’s a sweet, sensitive cat who would thrive in a calm, loving environment where she can be the only pet and receive plenty of individual attention. She may need a little extra time and patience to feel comfortable in a new home, so I’m hoping to find someone understanding who will allow her to settle in and come out of her shell at her own pace. Once comfortable, she’s cuddly, talkative, and extremely loving.

Pico showed up a few weeks ago and has been trying really hard to stay at our house but we already have 3 other cats who are too territorial to get along. Pico is very cute and friendly as soon as she knows you are too! We don't have the time to get her checked or vaccinated. She seems housetrained but the neighbors don't know where she came from either.

Story
My family and I LOVE these cats dearly. They are the sweetest, most affectionate cats we've ever met. However, they have a tendency to chew and ingest non-food items, which has been dangerous to their health. Both have had surgery to remove objects from their intestines. Due to having young kids, we can't keep our house tidy enough to make it a safe environment for the cats. They need a home where things can be kept more orderly and free of small objects.Both cats are currently in perfect health with all medical bills paid for.In exchange for the adoption fee you'll receive the cats and all their supplies (food, litter, toys, etc).We really want to see these cats go to a loving home where they're safe.

Leo was gifted to me by a friend and he has been a part of my family. He is 2 years old and is calm, chill, always sleepy, and loves looking through the window. I am looking for a loving and responsible forever home for him where he will be safe, cared for and treated like part of the family. I want to make sure he goes to someone who is loving and will give him the attention and care he deserves. He is a special cat with lots of love to give, and I hope to find him a wonderful new home.

Story
MEET DOLE WHIP! Looking for a sweet treat? Meet Dole Whip! Like his namesake, this sunny little fellow is everyone's favorite, and he's never met a stranger he didn't want to befriend. Born on April 11, 2026, right on his foster mom's catio, Dole Whip has been surrounded by love since his very first breath. Raised alongside his siblings in a busy, affectionate household, he's grown into a brave, outgoing, and wonderfully social young cat. With his sunny disposition and endless curiosity, Dole Whip is always ready to make a new friend or find his next adventure! Dole Whip is a true man of the people. He gets along beautifully with his fellow kittens, happily joining in their games and adventures. He's also friendly and comfortable with new people, including children of different ages. He's an enthusiastic athlete, especially when a wand toy gives him the opportunity to show off his impressive aerial acrobatics. When he's not playing, you'll find him perched on a windowsill, chattering at birds, or trotting from room to room to make sure he isn't missing anything exciting. He's wonderfully affectionate, too, often sitting directly on his foster mom's feet or settling beside her just to enjoy her company. If you're looking for a confident, curious companion who will make himself right at home in your daily life, Dole Whip might be your perfect match. He's equal parts playful adventurer, friendly neighborhood ambassador, and devoted little shadow. Whether he's entertaining you with his antics or keeping your feet company during a quiet afternoon, Dole Whip has a way of making every moment a little brighter. Submit an adoption application at www.kittydevorerescue.org to meet this delightful boy! Please note: Dole Whip resides in a foster home in Cherry Valley, CA, in Riverside County. KD foster parents host Meet-and-Greets in their homes, so prospective adopters who have completed, submitted, and have had their applications approved should anticipate traveling to meet him.

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
When in the presence of Joie now, you'd never guess two KD foster parents found her and her brother Shahdow and sister Moon the Chimera hovering near an apartment complex dumpster on a chilly October night in 2023 when they were just two months old. With crusted eyes, sniffling noses, and starving bellies, each struggled to survive their unfriendly environment. Thankfully, their rescuers didn't hesitate to scoop them up and bring them indoors where they'd be safe and fed. Still, because the babies were in such dire condition, their new guardians worried they might not persevere. Later, when they shuttled the kittens to our vet, he diagnosed them with severe upper respiratory infections, a bad case of ringworm, and critical malnourishment. Love and care can work wonders and make all the difference to needy kitties. Combined with Joie's will to survive, she and her siblings gradually recovered, growing stronger and healthier each week. Joie's spirit glows exceptionally bright and vibrant. At only a few months old and despite not feeling her best, Joie frequently clambered onto her human caregivers, seeking love and affection. She also demonstrated an enduring curiosity about the world around her. As she's grown, her playful spirit and affectionate nature have become two of her most defining features. Her foster parents attest that Joie's purrs and cuddles make life much brighter. Of course, like many kitties, Churu treats motivate her, but she genuinely adores lounging with her people and other kitties in her midst. She jumps at the opportunity to make new kitty friends, too, but pups make her a bit anxious, so we believe she'd thrive best in a dog-free home. Joseph Campbell famously said, "Follow your bliss," but if you had Joie ever-present, there would be no need for the quest. She is happiness in motion wherever she goes and freely bestows it upon everyone she meets. If you're seeking joy to brighten your days, don't hesitate to fill out an adoption application for Joie today at www.kittydevorerescue.org!
