City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue

🌼According to Daisy’s :

“Daisy is smart, sweet, and sassy all in one loveable pup. She is ready to play at any time with a moment's notice, but happy to cuddle up on the sofa, bed, or politely in her crate for quiet time as well.”

Daisy would love to find a home with another dog to be her playtime pal! Apply today to meet Daisy: bit.ly/adopt_daisy 🐾

💐🌸 Our alum Olive (known as Lucy with us) passed away this week.

Olive was one of the very first dogs we adopted (April, 2012). She lived a full, happy life, adored by her family. It's what we wish for for all of our dogs & cats...and why we do what we do. RIP sweet Olive.

Curl up and the couch tomorrow like Leila and Tallulah to watch the virtual dog adoption event! 🛋️

Pop some popcorn and hear our fosters tell us all about their sweet adoptable pups 🍿

Meet Diego! This handsome kitty is our very own Cindy Crawford, sporting an adorable beauty mark that makes him even more charming! once a shy and timid boy, Diego has blossomed into a loving, talkative, and playful companion who is well on his way to earning his lap cat certification. Currently fostered with his brother and bestie, Houdini, Diego would love to find a forever home where they can stay together, though he’s happy to bring joy on his own as well!

Diego is a simple guy with simple needs: wet food, chin and cheek scratches, belly rubs, and a sunny spot to lounge in. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, loving kitty who will fill your home with purrs and cuddles, Diego is your perfect match. Adopt Diego (and maybe Houdini, too!) and double the love in your life!
