Ziggy's Story

Male, DSH, 2 years old Personality: calm, independent, talkative Ziggy might be blind but that doesn't slow him down a bit- he's a quick learner. He knows exactly what he wants- most of the time that involves food and occasional playtime. When it's time to eat, Ziggy will be right with you, making sure you aren't taking too many detours. He likes an occasional game of chase with the other cats in his foster home and especially enjoys his crinkle toy. Ziggy can also often be found carrying his red phone booth toy around. Follow Ziggy's adventures on Instagram @tuffythetenacious and apply today to adopt him! ______________________ If you are interested in meeting a 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.

Learn more, see our list of cats needing foster, and apply, https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/foster-a-city-cat.html 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 (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model). 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 (unless specified). We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam prior to adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCKR. City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties 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, Feline Leukemia vaccines, as age appropriate. Cats are tested for FIV and FeLV, when age appropriate, but not when born to a FELV/FIV negative mother in foster care. The kittens have age-appropriate vetting to date, which includes a veterinary exam, deworming, microchip, and the first FVRCP vaccine. 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.

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.
