City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue With your help, each year we save 1200+ cats & dogs from under-resourced shelters; many of our pets were just hours from euthanasia. Join us!
(670)

Adopt, foster, donate, volunteer 🐶♥🐱 Our Mission: City Dogs & City Kitties rescues adoptable dogs and cats in overcrowded and high-kill shelters, where resources are severely limited. We offer a lifeline to as many of these wonderful animals as possible. Sadly, many of the dogs and cats that we take in are just days — and sometimes hours — away from being euthanized for no reason other than lack

of space. By finding these animals permanent and loving homes in the DC metropolitan area, we can enrich lives of humans and their pets. We welcome your help in any capacity, through volunteering, fostering, adopting, sponsoring and/or donating.

Every mom knows the feeling. You’re trying to relax for five minutes, and your kid has somehow decided your tail is the perfect toy.

Mama Rose handles it with the patience of a saint.

At just 10 months old, Mama is still a kitten herself, but she’s already mastered the art of parenting. She lets Gypsy steal her food, follows her around, keeps her clean, and only steps in when Gypsy’s latest brilliant idea involves using Mom as a jungle gym.

Gypsy, on the other hand, has never met a toy she didn’t love. Wand toys? Amazing. Anything that dangles? Even better. Her mom? Still her favorite playmate.

And while Gypsy may be the entertainer, Mama has a secret obsession of her own: hair ties. Forget the fancy cat toys. One lonely hair tie on the floor and she’s booked for the afternoon.

These two are always together, whether they’re playing, grooming each other, or checking to make sure the other hasn’t wandered more than a few feet away.

They’re looking for a forever home where they can continue to be attached at the hip and play with stray hair ties.

Honestly, the best way to do describe Dorothy is silly. When she first arrived to her foster house, she was fascinated (and a little suspicious) of the stairs, but she quickly mastered them. Another one of Dorothy’s quirks is her dedication to skin care. Dorothy is obessed with helping humans keep their skin clean, she’ll even help you clean it by cleaning it herself…with her tongue.

While most cats might enjoy a lixoourous cat bed or sofa, Dorothy likes messenger bags. Not backpacks, not purses, messenger bags. Lastly, Dorothy loves to play, and has unique hunting instincts…her prey? Pieces of kibble.

Somewhere over the rainbow, Dorothy’s forever home is waiting. Could it be yours? Find out on our website!

Hi! I’m Cardi! (And yes, I have just as much personality as my famous namesake!)

I consider myself the ultimate companion. I will drape myself over you like a living, breathing weighted blanket. However, I don’t need attention all of the time. I’ll happily play with my toys, relax in my bed, or hang out in my crate while you do your human tasks in peace.

I am a model citizen, fully house-trained and crate-trained. While I can be a little slow to warm up, I bond deeply once I do. I am incredibly loyal, trustworthy, and give the best “hugs” (see the last photo on this post).

I am a diva who doesn’t like to share the spotlight, and prefers a calm environment. This being said, I need a home without other pets or tiny human roommates.

If you are looking for a wiggly lap dog who is happiest sprawled all over my people, then I am your gal!
