Please help us bring Elliott to DC! Elliott is a beautiful 1 year old husky/lab mix currently in a rural high kill shelter in Ohio. He was picked up by animal control wandering around the downtown of his little town. The shelter has fallen in love with this sweet, loving boy and has asked us for help. Please donate today (or apply to foster) Elliot!

Fluffy, adorable, and one of the friendliest cats around, this poor little 3 year old grey and white manx kitty named Bunny has been spending most of her time in a cage ( as have 5 other kitties with FeLV) at a small rural  shelter in West Virginia for a very long time.  The shelter staff absolutely love this sweet girl and are trying their best to keep her alive for as long as they can in the hopes that she will be adopted.  Her chances are slim though - poor Bunny is being overlooked because she is positive for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV).

Sharon and her three kittens make up an adorable feline family! Sharon, calm mommy, is relaxed about letting her kittens explore, and won't be flustered if you interact with them. Her kittens will all be long-haired, and each have a distinct personality. The leader of the pack has a black body and white paws. He is the most social and playful and especially enjoys playing with a ball. Another kitten has a dark gray body with white paws, and is playful too, but lower energy than his brother. The final kitten is dark gray and is shy, but likes to explore small spaces. He isn't afraid to climb up high, either. All three kittens are very curious and very cute!   

Meet Jake! Jake is currently stuck in West Virginia, patiently waiting to come to the DC area where he can start his new life!

Jake was rescued by a West Virginia organization just before the county dog warden's appointment to have him euthanized. There were 16 dogs and unfortunately they could only rescue 13 of them. Jake was lucky number 13! Help keep Jake's lucky streak alive and consider donating so we can bring him here to a foster home.

Noggin is a young, rescued male, about a year or two old.  He is a cream/buff colored tabby and a real love-cat.  He seeks your affection, and lest you forget him, he will bump you with his noggin for more pets.  Noggin gets along well with other cats and stands his ground with dogs.  He has a calm and even temperament and plays well with all other pets and people. Noggin is an excellent companion cat.

Luigi is the super-charged member of the Mario Family.  He is very active, friendly, playful, and affectionate-- all black and less than a year old.  He gets along great with all dogs and cats because he is only interested in chasing toys.  Luigi is all legs, neck, and ears and he loves to play, run and climb.  He is skinny, but has the muscles to power his dashes across the room with his all-white brother, Mario.  He loves people and purrs when you pick him up, but he doesn't stay in one place for long -- too much to do.  If you love a high energy, affectionate cat, you must have the Superbounce!!  He should be paired with another young and active cat.

Update on our cats at Kitty City:  Stripes, Beauty and Patch were adopted!!  Tuffer and Whiskey are now in foster homes, but are looking for adopters.  Right now, we only have the Super Mario Family of Luigi, Mario, and Princess Peach.  But we will get more cats soon.

Elvira is an enchanting, gorgeous 8-9 month old black cat. She tested positive for feline leukemia so she needs to be a single cat, in a home with other FeLV cats or better yet adopted into a home with DOGS. ELVIRA LOVES DOGS!!!! She adores playing with the dogs in her foster home during the day and sleeps snuggled up with the dogs every night. She is a young playful, social cat who loves everyone she meets!! Elvira is a total sweetheart - watch out, she'll likely steal your heart when you meet her!

Beauty is a female orange tabby, about a year old.  She is sweet and mellow.  She likes to play, but prefers just to sit near you as you go about your business with an occasional head massage.  She's neither needy or aloof.  She really loves dogs -- she walked up to a strange beagle and rubbed his head and legs.  She will tolerate some cats, but strongly prefers people.  If you need a sweet, calm girl, come meet Beauty at Kitty City.

Chow is a sweet older guy that loves to have his head scratched and the occasional treat. He also loves to explore, look out the window, and nudge you for more attention.  His wagging tail tells you he has an attitude, but he minds his Ps and Qs.  Chow needs to gain weight and could use a home where he gets more than 2 meals a day.  He's 13 years old but is in excellent health.
