And now, an ode to Cherie:

My Cherie amour, lovely as a summer day

My Cherie amour, shy and timid in your way

My Cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore

You're the only girl my heart beats for

How I wish that you were mine

In the bathroom or sometimes in my bedroom,

I've been near you, and you always noticed me

My Cherie amour, won't you tell me how I could ignore

Behind that silver coat that you wore

How I wish that you were mine

Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd

Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud

Oh, Cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore

You're the only girl my heart beats for

How I wish that you were mine

If you are interested in meeting a cat, we require an adoption application. Visit www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adopt-a-city-kitty.html to apply. If a cat has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon.

If a cat has "NEEDS FOSTER" listed, they are still available for adoption. Information about fostering and our current cat foster needs can be found here: www.citydogsrescuedc.org/foster-a-city-kitty.html

City Dogs Rescue is a foster based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. We focus on local adoptions in DC and the metro area of Maryland and Virginia. CDR has a thorough adoption process in order to find the best possible fit for each of our animals (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model).

Our cat adoption fee is $150 unless noted. Prior to arrival, all of our cats are spayed/neutered (unless specified) and given shots for Rabies, FVRCP, and Feline leukemia. They are microchipped and tested for FIV and FeLV. They are dewormed at least twice and given a health check by the vet.

We do our best to disclose all health records and known health conditions to adopters. Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations and health tests, but does not provide a comprehensive medical exam prior to adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDR & CK.  City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us.
