City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue With your help we save 800+ cats & dogs from under-resourced shelters each year. Many of our rescues were just hours from euthanasia. Join us!

Adopt, foster, donate, volunteer 🐶♥🐱 Our Mission: City Dogs & City Kitties rescues adoptable dogs and cats in overcrowded and high-kill shelters, where resources are severely limited. We offer a lifeline to as many of these wonderful animals as possible. Sadly, many of the dogs and cats that we take in are just days — and sometimes hours — away from being euthanized for no reason other than lack of space. By finding these animals permanent and loving homes in the DC metropolitan area, we can enrich lives of humans and their pets. We welcome your help in any capacity, through volunteering, fostering, adopting, sponsoring and/or donating.

Valerie has a tiger-striped tail, a mostly white coat, and absolutely no problem making herself heard. Especially when she thinks breakfast should have been served five minutes ago.

She’s also a little nosy. Valerie likes to know where her people are, what they’re doing, and why they thought they could close a door without consulting her first. But she’s not particularly clingy! She’s usually happy to find a comfy spot nearby and just hang out.

Her favorite toy is a foam stress ball. No one really knows why she prefers it over balls that are actually meant for cats, but she’ll happily chase it around by herself. She’s also a big fan of stalking wand toys and launching surprise attacks

And then there’s whatever happens after bedtime. According to her foster, Valerie spends her nights bouncing balls off walls and knocking things over. We’re not entirely sure what she’s up to, but she seems to be having a great time.

Valerie be joining us for our virtual cat adoption event next Sunday, October 25, at 3 PM, LIVE on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Come meet the cats, ask questions, and maybe find your new best friend, all without leaving your couch.

Can’t make it? You can always apply to adopt Valerie on City Dogs and City Kitties’ website!

Apparently, adoptable Tripp is a wildlife documentary enthusiast. Who knew?

This 2-year-old, 40-pound sweetheart has a lot of interests. Long walks, making friends, playing with toys, cuddling on the couch, and, apparently, watching nature docs on TV.

And we don't mean casually glancing at the screen. Tripp was so invested in a documentary about Canadian wolves that he actually stood up on his hind legs and put his paws on the TV cabinet to get a better look. We're not sure if he was studying his ancestors or just really enjoying the cinematography. (swipe for photos of proof)

When he's not expanding his knowledge of the animal kingdom, Tripp is busy being everyone's bestie. He loves meeting new people and dogs, follows his foster family around the house, and is perfectly happy to trade an outdoor adventure for some quality couch snuggle time.

He's also fully house-trained! He's still working on his basic commands, but he's got plenty of curiosity and enthusiasm to bring to the classroom.

Want to meet Tripp? He'll be at our Coldwell Banker adoption event TOMORROW, Saturday, October 17, at 12 PM! Come say hi, make a new friend, and maybe ask him for some Netflix recommendation! Can’t make it? Learn more about Tripp on City Dogs and City Kitties’ website!

You know that friend who invites herself over, makes herself comfortable, befriends your pets, and then decides she’s staying the night?

…Meet Missy.

This little girl might need a minute to warm up, but once she does, she’s ALL IN. Your dog? Her new best friend. Your cat? Also her new best friend. Your lap? Yeah, that’s hers now.

Missy also takes being included very seriously. She’ll accompany you to the bathroom, watch you wash dishes, follow you around the house, and occasionally stick her little paws under closed doors to make sure you haven’t forgotten her.

And despite her busy social calendar, Missy always makes time for cuddles! She’s happiest curled up in a warm lap, preferably with someone willing to provide unlimited pets.

Missy is looking for a home where she can be part of the action, with plenty of affection and ideally a playful feline friend.

Meet Tripp, a playful and extroverted pup with a lot of love to give.

Tripp likes to be in the know! He'll follow you from room to room hoping for a cuddle, but he's totally content to sit next to you and quietly observe if you're busy. He's even been known to enjoy a nature documentary or two, so you can expand your knowledge together. Tripp is resting more because of a paw injury, so he enjoys some extra mental stimulation to get some energy out.

He's also not one to turn down an adventure. Tripp lives for long walks where he gets to explore his surroundings and say hello to other people and dogs, so you'll definitely get your steps in.
