My Story
Female, DSH, approx 18 years old
Personality: calm, independent, snuggly
Calli, or Ms. Calli as her foster calls her, is a sweet 18 year old lady. She's definitely earned the "Ms." title after being on this planet the past 18 years. Calli has a passion for napping, and any soft, warm surface will do: on her person, on a heating pad, or on a blanket. At night she can be found either sleeping on top of or curled up between the legs of her foster. Calli is very amenable to sharing the bed and has no problem with the resident dog and cats joining in on the bedtime snuggle party. Really, she just likes to be as close to her human as possible. She is a great companion and would love to curl up on your lap or next to you as you work from home, but she is also just as happy curling up in a sunbeam while you're away at work. And less you think Ms. Calli is only about the snuggles and naps, you should see her high jump! In fact, this girl has taken to perching herself on top of her foster's refrigerator -- after all, it is the best spot to keep tabs on her domain below.
If you're looking for the sweetest girl with oodles of love to give, Ms. Calli is absolutely the cat for you. Apply for her today!

If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon. Apply for a CAT: https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adoptable-cats.html
City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats.
Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us.
Cat specific vetting: Rabies, FVRCP. Cats are tested for FIV and FeLV, when age appropriate, but not when born to a FELV/FIV negative mother in foster care.
Kittens have age-appropriate vetting to date, which includes deworming, microchip, and the first FVRCP vaccine. Kittens born in care to a negative mother will not receive a FIV/FeLV test. An adopter will need to agree to cover costs of spay/neuter when he/she is age-appropriate (usually 16-20 weeks) and will need to continue his/her kitten vaccines (including rabies) as he/she grows older. Kittens under 12 weeks of age must be adopted in pairs or to a home with friendly resident feline. They will not be considered as singles.
