My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

4 years old

Personality: calm, independent, shy


Stephanie is ready to come out of her shell and find her forever family! Stephanie is a calm, cautious lady who likes to take her time warming up to new people and places. She is a textbook introvert who prefers a calm and quiet household where she can feel free to explore.


Food and pets are the key to Stephanie's heart (a relatable queen). Once she learns you give excellent head scratches and offer delicious treats, she'll start giving gentle nudges to let you know you've become her best friend.


Stephanie will lay down next to you while you work or have dinner. She will tap you on the shoulder in the morning to let you know it's breakfast time or she'll sneak into the bathroom with you. Stephanie will gladly mush her face into your hand and paw at your leg for back scratches and head rubs. You may even start to see her tail vibrate or her mouth drool a little out of the pure happiness and comfort Stephanie feels being around you.


Stephanie does like to rest and recharge in between pets and mealtimes. All Stephanie needs is a little patience and a gentle touch, and she will quickly become a calming presence and loving companion to your home!

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. To answer your questions about included vaccinations, spay/neuter, etc., the adoption process, and more please visit at www.citydogsrescuedc.org


If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, we are still accepting additional applications, as they sometimes fall through. If the animal is adopted by someone else, your application will be kept on file and you will not need to reapply for a different cat. Look at our available cats and apply to adopt a cat at www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adopt-foster/rescue-cats/

Additional adoption info

1. Application: Interested adopters should fill out an application for the cat(s) or dog(s) you are interested in. Only one application is required, and it applies for all cats or dogs listed on your application. If you are interested in adopting both a cat and a dog, you must complete an application for each type of animal.

Important Note Regarding Timing: We screen all applications to find what we believe will be the best environment for each particular cat or dog. 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. Please do not interpret a lack of response as a belief by City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties that you would not be able to provide a loving home for a cat or dog.

2. Applications Counselor: Approved Applicants will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor, who will review the application and have a brief conversation with each applicant to determine his/her needs and preferences.

3. Reference Checks: If applicable, CDR&CK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and well cared for.

4. Renters/Condo Owners: For renters, CDR&CK will check with an applicant's landlord to ensure that cats and/or dogs are permitted and that the cat or dog of interest wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions. We also review condo association rules regarding pets.
Home Visit: CDR&CK will visit each applicant’s home to see the environment where the cat or dog will live and answer any questions the applicant might have.

5. Adoption Contract: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDR&CK and the prospective adopter will enter into an adoption contract. The applicant will be required to pay an adoption fee, which helps cover our costs from spay/neutering (if age appropriate), microchipping, vaccinations and any other veterinary attention needed while in our care.

Adoption application
