Looking to Adopt a Devon Rex?
Step One: Submit an Application
To be considered for adoption, you must submit a kitten application. New kitten applications open once the kittens in a litter reach 8 weeks of age. When kitten applications open, we will post on our Instagram page, as well as send a notification our to our email list. Please subscribe to my email list below if you would like to be on our notifications list.
Step Two: Reserve Your Kitten
If your application is selected for adoption, you will be given the opportunity to reserve the kitten you were matched with. In order to reserve a kitten, a deposit of $500 of the kittens total price is required. This deposit will be deducted from the final kitten cost. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Since I wait until 8 weeks of age for adopters to pick their kitten, I no longer allow for deposits to transfer to future litters. All money towards the kitten cost must be paid at least 10 days prior to the kitten’s go home date. Acceptable forms of payment are Zelle, Venmo, Cash, or Money Order (Zelle preferred).
Step Three: Sign the Adoption ContracT
After you reserve your kitten, I will send an adoption contract to be signed by myself and the kitten purchaser. This contract must be signed at least 10 days prior to the kitten’s go home date. This contract includes my health guarantee against genetic diseases as well as other conditions of sale.
Step Four: Prepare for your Kitten
By the time you reserve your kitten, they will be ready to come home to you in about 6-8 weeks (at a minimum of 14 weeks of age). This gives you approximately 1.5-2 months to get ready for the arrival of your new kitten.
Make sure you are ready for the pick-up or delivery of your kitten. I allow pick ups from my home in Ventura County, CA, or I offer personal delivery for an additional fee depending on the price of airfare and distance travelled.
Start getting all your kitten supplies ready for when your kitten comes home, make sure to kitten proof your house!
Book an appointment with a veterinarian. If you do not already have one, start looking for a veterinarian to take your new kitten to for a health exam. Many veterinarians are booked far in advance, so I suggest booking an appointment at least two weeks before your kitten’s go home date. Your kitten must be seen by a veterinarian within 72 hours of you taking possession of the kitten.
You will also need to set up an appoint with your veterinarian to give your kitten the Rabies vaccine and 3rd FVRCP. Your kitten will not receive these vaccines before they go to their new home, because your kitten will be too young to be given this vaccine.
