Rocio Domestic Short Hair Washington, DC

Female, about 1 year old, DSH

Personality: friendly, shy, talkative

Rocio is a shy, sweet girl with a very loud purr. She's still settling into her foster home and spends a lot of time tucked away while she's figuring out the ins and outs of her foster home, but she's getting braver every day. Her foster humans have instituted a 'quiet pets' time of the day, when everyone takes a chill seat. During that time, Rocio is totally open to pets and she gets so excited that she gives lots of headbutts and purrs. She has a super cute meow and sounds adorable when she gets excited.

Rocio is spending her days slowly exploring a little bit more and coming out of hiding when people are around. She isn't big into playing with her foster's resident cats, but Rocio does seem to like having them around, and she's more confident with them nearby. She's looking for a home that will let Rocio be Rocio on her journey to becoming the settled-in, snuggle-loving cat that we think she can be! Some kitties need a little bit of patience, and if you're the one who can give Rocio that patience, apply today!

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.
