Meet Whiskers! This sweet guy with piercing green eyes may be a senior, but he's still young at heart! He's an expert wand chaser, a connoisseur of catnip, and even knows how to "sit and "high-five. A genius? We think so! When Whiskers isn't busy being a silly boy, you can find him patiently waiting for a cuddle. He loves to cuddle up in bed or on the couch with his human, and when he's feeling especially cozy he'll make biscuits on your belly! If you're lucky you may even wake up one morning with him curled up on your chest purring away. This sweet guy warms up quickly to new people, and even tolerates other kitties.
If you're looking for a gentleman with excellent manners, the sweetest temperament, and a playful streak - Whiskers is your guy! Apply to give this senior a new lease on life and a true forever home full of love!

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.
