Congratulations on your decision to add a City Kitty to your family! Cats can be wonderful companions in many environments, and choosing to rescue one is a crucial part of helping to empty overcrowded shelters. Cats really have a hard time in the shelters. Our shelter partners report that the euthanasia rate for cats is between 86% - 99%. We want to help these cats and bring them to the DC area to find forever homes, with you!

Some things to know before applying:
  • Kittens under 12 weeks of age need to be adopted in pairs or into a home with another friendly feline. Kittens older than 12 weeks may also be required to have a feline friend at CDCK's discretion. 
  • Individuals need to be over the age of 21 to adopt.
  • We apologize but at this time we do NOT adopt to traditional undergraduate students.
  •  We do NOT adopt outside of the DC Metro Area due to a variety of reasons. Please do not view this as a reflection of the type of care we believe you would provide. We have limited resources and our non-profit model and mission only supports local adoptions at this time. ​
Some cats are in need of fosters while waiting to be adopted and are designated as such next to their names.
