Looking for a companion that knows when it’s time to relax? Our adult cats are one year or older and have left the crazy kitten phase behind. Adult cats have more fully formed personalities, so our fosters have a good understanding of what they like, dislike and the optimal home environment for each unique cat. No two cats are alike and we take the time to get to know them so our Adoption Team can advise you on who is your best match.
*Please note that we aim to keep this page updated with available and adoptable cats but things change every day. Cats and kittens may become unavailable as applications are approved. Our Adoption team can advise on available kitties when your application has been approved.
Conch Fritter, Male, Born March 2024
If you’re looking for a way to have the vibe of a tropical paradise right in your very own home, 365 days a year, look no further than Conch Fritter! This beach boy came to us from St. Thomas USVI when his foster mom was vacationing and met him at the shelter. Conch Fritter was experiencing some eye issues that she knew Tails High could surely help with, and the rest is history. Since arriving in Virginia earlier this summer, Conch Fritter had an eye surgery that helped him tremendously, and now he’s unstoppable! Fritz, as we call him for short, is full of personality and love to give. He is such a playful little dude and acts like every day is Christmas when he finds a new toy to dribble through the house. He exudes curiosity and appreciation for everything, whether it’s the window open for fresh air while he’s on neighborhood watch, or a vacant lap for him to curl up into and melt into your arms. Fritz is so affectionate, loving pets and to snuggle up with you in bed, but he can be a bit jumpy when approached by new people, so he will need time to decompress in a new home. Fritz likes the company of other cats and kittens in his foster home, but he is super playful and wouldn’t be an ideal companion for a senior cat that prefers a chill buddy. Conch Fritter is ready to anchor down on the island of forever with a family that will cherish him like the treasure that he is!

Funk Munky, Male, Born April 2022
Are you looking for the next TikTok shy cat star? Meet the sweet faced Funky Munky! Funky Munky, aka Monkey, was a dedicated alleycat until a cold day last November when he decided he had had enough of the outside life and literally walked into the condo to begin his life as an indoor cat. Although he can be shy with new people and environments, he quickly adapted to being inside and enjoys receiving pets, especially if they are accompanied by a Churu treat! Monkey is looking for a safe place to call home. He will excel in a smaller place and probably would like other calm animals to be his friends. He does very well with the two other cats and the 1 year old Labrador puppy in the condo but doesn’t always love when they get in his face or try to intimidate him- it makes him hide a little more. He would also probably do well as the only pet at home. He would particularly love if you give him nice places to curl up in his new home as he often can be found in the basket of the cat tree, in his wool cat bed, or curled up in a suitcase under the bed.

Tommy Bahama, Male, Born July 2022
Do you like piña coladas? Or orange creamsicle cats? Meet adoptable Tommy Bahama! This sweet, docile boy is looking for a paradise (aka forever home) to chillax in. Tommy was a community cat in the Petworth neighborhood of DC who decided the outdoor life was no longer for him! So, he did what any smart boy would do — he rubbed up against the legs of his feeder, begged for pets and attention, and started peering into the windows and through the doors of the neighborhood in search of someone to take him in. We brought him inside with a foster, and he’s been thriving indoors since! Mr. Bahama is a very affectionate boy who loves a good cheek rub and back scritches. He is not yet confident enough to crawl into your lap himself, but if you pick him up and put him there, he’ll happily stay — and might even make a biscuit or two! Once he settles in, you will become his security human, and if he gets startled, his favorite hiding spot will be under your legs. Treats are the key to Tommy’s heart, and his life motto is “there is nothing that a little tuna or a Churu can’t fix.” He hasn’t shown his playful side yet in foster (he’s more of a lounger and a snacker right now), but we think as he continues to acclimate to the spoiled, indoor life, he’ll become a playful, wacky boy. And he’s already silly. His facial expressions (which always look stunned) are sure to make you laugh. Tommy Bahama is a total gem of a cat, and your days are sure to be as relaxing and wonderful as a beach vacation if you adopt him. So apply today!

Rutabaga, Male, Born August 2024
Meet Rutabaga – A Rootin’-Tootin’ Tabby with a Heart of Gold! At 9 months old, Rutabaga is the perfect blend of shy sprout and playful spud. When he first arrived, he was a little reserved—more of a wallflower than a wildflower. But once he met his foster brother Gary, he totally tuber-ed up into a confident, silly, and energetic little guy! Now he spends his days chasing toys, goofing off with Gary, and lounging dramatically in sunny windowsills. (Catch him in action at #garyinthewindow on Instagram!) He loves to do whatever his big bro does—and for that reason, Rutabaga absolutely needs a friendly, confident adult cat in his forever home to show him the ropes and help him blossom. Though he may take a little time to warm up, Rutabaga roots himself deeply once he feels safe. He may not be a lap cat right away, but with patience and love, he’ll come looking for gentle pets and affection when he’s ready—and he’ll reward your care with his sweet, silly spirit. Looking for a loyal little veggie to add to your feline garden? Rutabaga’s ready to grow with you—just add patience and a cat buddy!

Vanessa, Female, Born January 2023
Vanessa, known as Vanny by her friends, is a sweet lady that’s pretty simple – she just wants to be loved and love in return! This pretty girl was living as a stray in DC and made many friends in her neighborhood that cared for her. She was always rubbing against their legs to let them know she was a nice girl, but she was somewhat timid and no one was committing to bringing her inside. It turned out that Vanny was always on the move because she was a busy mama that had kittens to get back to and we were so very happy to get her and all of her babies safely inside to foster homes. Her kittens have found loving homes and now it’s her turn to have the happily ever after that she deserves! Vanny is a big fan of looking out the window, lounging in a sunny spot, but very glad she isn’t living outside any longer! She adores temptations and the nightly ritutal of laser pointer time, zooming up the cat tree to reach the top and get that pesky red light. Vanny is social with other cats in her foster home but she’s also pretty independent and wouldn’t mind being the only pet in the household. We aren’t sure of her background beyond the time she was rescued as a stray this fall, but we do know she’s a lovely girl that is very happy inside only. Vanessa Redgrave is ready to be your best friend in a quiet, chill home, and we think a family without small kids or dogs would be ideal.

Lucy Giggles, Female, Born April 2024
Lucy Giggles is as beautiful inside as she is on the outside, with her cloudlike floof and endlessly sweet nature. She spends her days chattering, chirping, and making her people smile with her constant commentary. Lucy adores belly rubs and being picked up, and while she’s not exactly a lap cat, she loves stretching out right beside her favorite humans on the couch. She’s a sucker for a good brushing session and happily shows off her silky fur when pampered. Her purr motor may be soft and hard to hear, but it’s steady and full of love. This curious girl loves exploring hallways, gazing out the window from her cat tower, and being part of the action. She isn’t too keen on a harness yet, but with her curious streak, she might take to adventures in time. Of course, Miss Lucy has a diva side too. She knows exactly what she likes, and she expects things to be just so (no exceptions lol). But once you earn her trust and understand her rhythms, you’ll find she’s a loyal, loving, and endlessly entertaining companion. Lucy Giggles is looking for a very specific forever home. She needs to be the only cat in a quiet household with no children and no plans for children in the future. Her past home with small kids made her very anxious, and she deserves the peace of being a solo cat for all of her days. No other cats or dogs—Lucy wants all the love and attention for herself, and she will give it back tenfold. If you’ve been waiting for a sweet, chatty, floofy diva to keep you company and make every day brighter, Lucy Giggles is your girl.
