City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is providing care and rescue for over 1,200 dogs and cats a year. It is paramount to the shelters that rely on our help every day that we continue our efforts in saving lives so all these cats and dogs get a second chance at life that they deserve. Vet care, transportation, and other expenses can easily reach $600 per dog/cat. Fundraisers like this are of critical importance to saving lives. Since our establishment in 2011, we have found homes for more than 8,600 dogs and cats and we've also gained a lot of fans along the way!
Please join us for what was voted “Best Charity Event” of 2019, 2020, and 2021 in Washington City Paper’s Readers’ Poll. Support Neighborhood Businesses While Supporting Our Auction!
CDCK has an opportunity to support local businesses and to save dogs and cats, but we can't do it without you. Our ability to fundraise has greatly reduced due to pandemic restrictions. All told, we have lost roughly $100,000 from our annual donations. We decided to pull together a last-minute smaller scale version of our annual auction to boost our program funds. You can help us overcome this loss by supporting our scaled down online auction, which starts on November 11! Here's how to help Choose your favorite neighborhood business from our supporter's list below and buy a gift certificate to donate to our mini-auction.
