Adopted Devons
Other ways to help
Please consider making a donation to our rescue efforts to assist Devons in need. Your support is appreciated by us
and by them. Donations will be used to cover the cost of care for these Devons while they are in foster care waiting
to be adopted.
Oliver - Maryland
Oliver followed some people home on their walk one night. When
they went inside he pawed on the door to get in. His owner was
never found, but he now has a new home.
Stuart - Florida
Stuart lost his home due to the death of his owner. In his foster
home he hid under the bed for weeks. From the moment he
arrived he was “mothered” by the resident dog who insisted on
crawling under the bed to be with him. Though Stuart had never
lived with a dog, he was comforted by this attention. The two
became inseparable, and the foster mom adopted Stuart on the
dog’s birthday!
Mimi Farina - California
Mimi lived the first year of her life in a house with 150 unsocialized
cats. After 12 months in a foster home, learning to get along with
humans and other cats, she was adopted. She is living in a home with
another rescue Devon.
Claire - Texas
Claire was found in a house under construction. She was emaciated
and very ill. After two months in a foster home and extensive
veterinary care, she was adopted. She now lives with other Devons.
Gizmo - Colorado
Gizmo's mom lost her home and spent some time with him and her
other cats living in her car. She eventually felt it best to take them to
a shelter. Giz, age 15, has chronic heart disease and eye issues that
were treated first at the shelter and then in his foster home. His
foster mom fell in love with him and decided she wanted to adopt
him after 5 months. Gizmo is doing well and will continue to get the
medical care and love he needs and deserves, in the home with
people and cats he has grown to love. Senior cats have lots of love
left to give!
Magic - Maryland
Magic’s owners took her litter box out of the house and tried to get
her to use the outdoors. She complied, but got torn up by a
neighborhood cat and then did not want to go outside again. She
started using the bathtub for her litter box and she was then taken
to a shelter. Magic is happy and safe in her new home where she has
a litter box whenever she needs it and will never need to or be
allowed to go outside again. Magic is a purebred longhaired Devon.
Her parents both have normal Devon coats. Magic’s new mom was
looking for a longhaired cat. This was a perfect match.
Sissy & Gwendolyn- Arizona
Sissy and Gwen are bonded mother/daughter Devons. They were left
without a home when their breeder died. They were taken in by
someone who decided she could not keep them. They are now in
their new home.

Sasha - Maryland
Sasha’s owner was moving out of the country and could not take
Sasha with her. She now has a new home with two senior Devon
brothers. She loves belly rubs and shoulder rides from her new
people. This photo is of her in her isolation room waiting for full
integration into the rest of the home with the other Devons. They
have been having meetings through a puppy gate and they are all
showing signs of soon hanging out in one happy pile of Devons.
Bombay - Pennsylvania
Bombay lost his home because his owner was ill and could no
longer care for him. He was taken to an animal shelter where he
was, understandably, not very happy in a cage. He went to a DRBC
Rescue foster home for a few weeks and then to his permanent
home. He is adjusting well to his big new house and his three Devon
sisters.

Franklin - Pennsylvania
Franklin needed a new home because children in the family had
developed cat allergies. Franklin also needed a dog in his new
home. He lived with two large curly dogs and loved cuddling with
them. Franklin now lives with a loving family and one small curly
dog who had recently lost her senior Devon pal. Franklin and her
new dog happen to be the same color so it is difficult to see where
cat ends and dog begins. They have both adjusted beautifully.
Sophie - Delaware
Sophie, a blue Devon, was found with kittens in someone’s yard. She
was terrified and exhibited feral-like behavior. She lived in a foster
home for a year and made steady progress with the patient help of
her resident Devon friends, dog, and humans. Her permanent
adoptive family includes three Devons, a dog, and two humans. She
is continuing to make great progress in overcoming her fears.
