Our City Kitties Foster Program places cats in foster homes throughout the Washington, DC metro area, as well as parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia. Most importantly, when you foster a cat with City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue, you’re allowing us to save two lives: the one we can place in foster care, and the cat that gets a space at a shelter.

All cats need is a warm, safe place to spend their time. When you foster with City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue, we provide all necessary vet appointments, and supplies you’ll need. All you need to provide is a loving home, food, and taking your pet to vet appointments as needed.

Important information to know before applying:

  • Some of our cats, such as kittens under 12 weeks of age, need to be fostered in pairs or into a home with another friendly feline.
  • We are sorry but we do not allow college undergraduates to foster cats.

All of the cats listed on this page need foster homes and are eligible for adoption at any time.
