My Story
Male, DSH, born March 2024
Wimpy is quite the character and packs a lot of punch in a little body. He likes to be the center of the party, whether that party is playing with his siblings or getting snuggles. A classic Wimpy move is dashing out of whatever door you're opening, which would be a problem except for the fact that he immediately gets FOMO if you leave him on the other side and sits at it crying to be let back in. Wimpy is also quite the toy aficionado and he loves picking out new toys to proudly parade around his foster home. One of his greatest struggles is how to play with multiple toys...at the same time! His nickname in his foster home is "lil potato sack" because he loves being snuggled so much that he's like a floppy sack of potatoes in your arms. You can hold him cradled like a baby or flopped over your shoulder; either way, he'll be purring away just the same. Wimpy has a particularly thick coat for a short-haired cat -- perfect for belly rubs (a particular favorite of his!). Wimpy loves rough-housing and playing wrestle-and-chase with his siblings, but he's good about being gentle with humans. If you think this thick, snuggly boy might be the addition your family is looking for, apply for Wimpy 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.
