“Today I found this sweet, older male dog around 14th and Independence SE, though he was moving along and no neighbors knew him so I’m guessing he came from further away. He is skinny and has a collar but no tags. He got along great with my dog but was barking in the apartment so I had to take him to the Humane Society on New York Ave. If you know anything about this dog or if you want to adopt him please contact the Washington Humane Society, 202-567-6664.”
Lots more details have been revealed with the launch of Crumb & Whiskers, Cat Cafe, new website:
“Crumbs & Whiskers brings together some amazing things. Specifically coffee, tea, cupcakes, and you guessed it…cats! DC’s cat cafe will serve as a foster home for the Humane Society’s shelter cats and as a really fun place to hang out for DC residents. The concept is pretty simple. Cats in cages are sad, so we get them out of there. Anyone without a cat is sad (or should be), so we hook them up. Then, we give everybody cake and coffee and tea. The end.
C&W will also showcase local art, have an awesome selection of books & board games, and provide guests with unnecessary amounts of cats toys.
Preparation– To make sure that none of your food is featuring a special appearance by that fun ingredient known as “cat hair”, Crumbs & Whiskers will not prepare any food in-house. Instead, we are partnering with some great local food providers. (Details to come!)
Experience – All food/drinks will be complimentary. Just grab a seat, and at your own leisure, walk over to the drink & desserts bar and grab whatever you fancy!
Online Reservation – You will be able to schedule your visit through an online reservation system. Reservations will be made in half-hour and one-hour time slots. All last minute cancellations will be posted on our Twitter account, so make sure you check that on days that we are fully booked!
Cover Fee – There will be a fixed hourly cover charge for weekdays and weekends/holidays. If you don’t want to hang out for as long as an hour, you will also be able to reserve time in half hour chunks. Pricing will be released closer to launch. Stay tuned!”

“We just found this dog in the 1200 block of Delafield Place NW. He has a collar but no tags. Seems like a lab mix – young, not neutered. Washington Humane Society is coming to get him”

“The “mirror tree” on T btw 1st and North Cap NW drives my dog nuts…”
“Dear PoPville,
My cat got out of the house yesterday afternoon. He is about 13 years old. His name is Figero. He has never been outside over night and we are very worried. We live on T street around 8th. If anyone sees him could you please contact me. I can be reached at 202-834-1325.”
“Dear PoPville,
Her name is Tessa, around 25-30 lbs, tri-color sheltie, about six years of age, wearing tags. Lives in the Columbia Heights area. Please call Lisa at (484) 505-9621.”
Ed. Note: A reader spotted her this morning but she’s still missing so continue to keep your eyes peeled please.
“I am writing to report our lost cat, Zella Mae. She has been missing since Sunday night from our home in Silver Spring at the corner of Bristol Avenue and Argyle Road (just east of the Sligo Creek Golf Course).
She is not micro-chipped, unfortunately.
She is a brown tabby with white on her breast and paws. About 13 lbs. Very friendly. Has white and orange patch on her snout.
She used to live in the Scooby Doo Mansion in Mt. Pleasant and therefore may have wandered in that direction from her new home.
She is very beloved! Any information on her whereabouts or other measures as to how to proceed would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Julie and Garrett Bradford

From a reader:
“This little one was loose on Columbia and Ontario rd nw around 6pm. Was picked up by humane society at 7pm at Adam’s mill rd nw and Kenyon Only has the green rabies(?) tag and a thick collar. Looks like a chocolate lab maybe part pit bull puppy and was friendly but very scared.”
“Her name is Gracie, she has blue eyes, is very docile and very small (approx 9 pounds), a little deaf and slow.
Disappeared from the 700th block of Morton Street, NW last night, through the back alley between Morton St rowhouses and the Alsco linen cleaning facility on Lamont St. NW. Cross streets: Lamont St. NW, Sherman Avenue NW, Georgia Avenue NW, Park Rd NW.
If found please call 202-905-9242 or 202-607-9315.

“Dear PoPville,
A friend of mine in the building we live noticed a white bunny behind our building earlier this week, usually wouldn’t think anything of it, but we’ve seen it now almost a half dozen times (picture attached). Additionally we aren’t close to any “big” green space, except Meridian Hill Park and even then, I’ve rarely if ever seen a bunny there.
Anyway, someone has set up a makeshift box/home for it behind our building on the minimal grass we have. I figured I would send it your way to see if anyone was missing a bunny. I really don’t think it’s a wild bunny as it’s shown up so much. If we don’t find the owner I’ll notify the Humane Society if the bunny shows again.”
