                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 13, 2023

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize City Dogs & City 
Kitties Rescue and its new Operations and Intake Center in the District 
of Columbia, which opens on September 18, 2023.
  Founded in 2011, City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue takes in dogs and 
cats from overcrowded shelters. Over the past 12 years, City Dogs & 
City Kitties Rescue has saved over 8,700 dogs and cats. Many of these 
dogs and cats were rescued from high-kill shelters, where resources are 
so limited that animals are frequently euthanized.
  City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue has been widely acknowledged by the 
community for its work in animal welfare. The Washington City Paper has 
honored City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue numerous times, awarding it the 
title of Best Nonprofit in D.C. in 2022 and awarding its annual online 
auction the best charity event of 2023.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to celebrate the 
opening of City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue's new building in the 
District of Columbia and recognize its many years of providing a 
lifeline to dogs and cats in need of a home.
