My Story
Male, DSH, approx 1 years old
Personality: friendly, high energy, independent, lapcat, outgoing, snuggly, talkative
Houdini is a spunky, loving, and playful purr machine! He is a ton of fun. Like the cats in ancient Egyptian paintings, he has a long neck, slender face, and large eyes. Houdini likes to talk and let you know his mind with his distinct meows like no other cat. He greets any visitor. Houdini is confident and outgoing and showcases his love for his people by snuggling with them in bed or on the couch. He is a "lapcat" and a "chest cat," especially when he wants you to wake up and feed him in the morning. He also shows his affection by giving nose kisses and licks. He adores all fur friends, both dogs and cats alike. Houdini's brother/buddy/partner-in-crime Diego and it would be awesome if they could be adopted together. They are not bonded, but they are the best playmates.
Overall, Houdini has a big personality - he plays hard, eats hard, sleeps hard, loves hard, and kicks litter hard. And he can't wait to meet you. Apply today to meet Houdini!

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.

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.
