City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is providing care and rescue for over 1,000 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 9,600 dogs and cats and we've also gained a lot of fans along the way!
