Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Female, approx 13 yrs., DSH
Personality: calm, shy, snuggly
Kittens are cute, but sometimes you just want peace and quiet while still having the fuzzy love of a cat around the house. That's where Baby Sweet comes in! Mischief free, calm and snuggly, Baby Sweet loves to cuddle on the couch while you watch TV or read, and to sit by your head at night. During the day she enjoys looking out the window and watching the world go by. She's not crazy about being held, and is disinterested in toys, but she loves petting. Her other love is an older cat named Sweetness. While they are not officially bonded, they really like one another and can often be found in an embrace together at their foster house. So while it's not necessary that you adopt her friend, they would both appreciate it if they could stay together! Baby Sweet is also good with small dogs and sometimes you'll find all three; the foster's dog, Baby Sweet and Sweetness all curled up together on the bed. A little shy when she first enters a new home, offer her a few treats and she'll come out to explore. Low key and loving are the best words to describe this sweet (after all it's part of her name!) kitty. Interested? Apply today to meet Baby Sweet!
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.

If we believe that we currently have a potential match for you, our typical response time is within a week. If you do not receive a response within two weeks, please assume that we have not been able to find a good match.
