Slinky (16646)'s Story

~9 months old<br/><br/>Personality: friendly, lapcat, outgoing, snuggly<br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet, earnest little gentleman with a heart of gold (and possibly the pinkest, wettest nose you've ever seen), Slinky might just be your guy.<br/><br/>Slinky is the perfect blend of polite and playful. When he first arrived, he respectfully kept his distance from the resident cats. Once he realized he was safe, his outgoing personality blossomed quickly. He was ready to explore, sniff new friends, and start playing in no time!<br/><br/>Slinky is a true lapcat, and he will happily sit in your lap and stay there, soaking up pets and purring in the cutest way. Unlike some kitties who pop up after a minute or two, Slinky settles in and commits to the cuddle. He tolerates being picked up and absolutely loves affection on his own sweet terms.<br/><br/>When he's not snuggling, Slinky is enthusiastically pursuing his two great loves: food and string toys. He's an eager eater and will chase anything on a string with determination, even if he hasn't quite mastered the art of actually catching it yet. <br/><br/>Slinky would thrive in a home that appreciates a gentle, affectionate companion who balances playtime with serious lap duty. If you're ready for a polite little shadow with a permanently adorable pink nose and a big, snuggly heart, Slinky is waiting to meet you. <br/><br/>Check out @ben.jaminrex for more of Slinky's adventures.<br/><br/><br/>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/>City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue's Adoption Policy
All of our dogs and cats are in private foster homes. If you are interested in meeting one, please complete our application. Profiles provide all current information we know about the dogs and cats in our care. OUR ADOPTION PROCESS 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. Please keep an eye on your spam folder! APPLICATIONS COUNSELOR: Applicants who pass the initial screening will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor to work with you throughout the process. REFERENCE CHECKS: If applicable, CDCK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for. CDCK will also call personal references listed on the application. RENTERS/CONDO OWNERS: For renters, CDCK 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. ADOPTION CONTRACT: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDCK 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.
