Goober Domestic Short Hair Washington, DC

Male, approx 13 yrs., DSH

Personality: calm, friendly, independent

Goober is just the greatest! He's a super handsome, long and lean tuxedo cat with bright green eyes and lots of whiskers. He has a super expressive face and usually looks at you with either a kindly smile or a worldly, amused-but-tolerant face, showing the wise old man that he is.

Goober is an easy, quiet presence to have in the house. He is very affectionate and will walk up to you multiple times a day for his favorite chin and ear scratches and pets (just not on his belly). He's polite about being picked up but not sure yet he likes that. Goober isn't a lap cat, but he's cautiously showing interest in a cuddle, and he likes being near you, so his favorite place to lounge and sleep is at the foot of the bed. He occasionally plays with a kicker toy or (slow)zooms once around the house, but mostly he's content to nap and receive attention.

Goober was brought to the vet's office to be euthanized because he started to inappropriately urinate when the family brought home a new kitten. He never had this issue previously. We'd like for him to be an only cat so he feels safe and loved for his remaining years. He's still a little shocked by the change in his life circumstances and he's looking for a stable, loving home. Sweet Goober has a lot of love to give!

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.
