There’s nothing like the sweet little face of a kitten and the high energy, playful spirit that comes with them! Tails High aims to help the community by taking in litters of kittens in need, as well as orphan kittens, when they’re most fragile to ensure they’re in an experienced foster home to get them healthy and well socialized. All of our kittens are with us until they’re ready for spay/neuter surgery before going to their forever homes. We prefer to place young kittens in homes with other cats or adopt them as pairs to continue to provide an enriched environment as cats learn so much from each other.
KITTENS MUST BE ADOPTED IN PAIRS OR POTENTIALLY ABLE TO BE ADOPTED TO A HOME WITH OTHER YOUNG CATS. WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT SINGLE KITTENS TO ADOPTERS WITH NO OTHER CATS.

Leni, Female, Born June 2026
Leni is a gloriously fluffy brown tabby who seems to know that life is good — and fully intends to enjoy every minute of it. She struts around the house with happy confidence, seeks out her humans for affection, and is known to simply flop herself over when the moment calls for a good belly rub. She is a love bug through and through. Leni is a wonderfully confident, playful house kitten with a talent for turning just about anything into entertainment. Give her a real kitten toy and she’s delighted, but an ordinary household object with excellent batting, pouncing, or chasing potential will do just as well. She loves romping and wrestling with her sister Millie, racing around the house, and happily inventing her own games along the way. For all that kitten energy, Leni is every bit as enthusiastic about affection. She seeks out her humans for love, happily settles in for pets and snuggles, and is especially appreciative of a good butt rub. She has that wonderful kitten combination of independence and connection — perfectly capable of finding her own fun, but very happy to come find you when it’s time for some love. And then there’s her foster dog brother, Edison. Leni is completely unfazed by him or her older foster sisters. Having a dog and young cats in the house is simply part of life — and certainly no reason to interrupt whatever game, exploration, or snuggle she currently has underway. Leni is ready to bring her magnificent fluff, joyful confidence, belly-rub flops, and enormous capacity for love to a family lucky enough to call her their own.

Millie, Female, Born June 2026
Millie is a gorgeous, long-haired black kitten with a soft smoky coat, fabulous fluff, and a curious mind that keeps her happily exploring whatever comes next. She loves her people and happily soaks up affection, but there is a whole world out there to investigate — and Millie would very much like to know what’s happening in all of it. Millie is a wonderfully confident, playful house kitten with a talent for turning just about anything into entertainment. Give her a real kitten toy and she’s delighted, but an ordinary household object with excellent batting, pouncing, or chasing potential will do just as well. She loves romping and wrestling with her sister Leni, racing around the house, and heading off on little adventures of her own. For all that curiosity and kitten energy, Millie is also a genuine love bug. She seeks out her humans for affection, happily settles in for pets and snuggles, and is especially appreciative of a good butt rub. She has that wonderful mix of independence and connection — confident enough to explore on her own and affectionate enough to come looking for her people when she wants some love. And then there’s her foster dog brother, Edison. Millie is completely unfazed by him or her older foster sisters. Having a dog and young cats in the house is simply part of life — and there are far more interesting things to investigate than worrying about the big guy wandering around nearby. Millie is ready to bring her fabulous smoky fluff, adventurous curiosity, playful confidence, and abundant affection to a home that will adore her.

Penguin & Miranda (bonded pair), Females, Born September 2025
Miranda and Penguin are a bonded tuxedo sister duo whose relationship is built on trust, companionship, and a whole lot of love. Whether they’re wrestling, grooming each other, chasing toys, supervising household activities, or curled up together on a cat tree, these girls move through life as a team. They must be adopted together, and anyone who spends time with them quickly sees just how special their connection is. While deeply bonded, Miranda and Penguin are also confident, independent cats with distinct personalities. Adopters won’t just be welcoming a pair, they’ll be building two unique relationships. Miranda is the outgoing adventurer. Curious about everything, she’s always exploring, investigating, and making sure she knows what’s happening around the house. A true “lady about town,” Miranda loves attention, interactive play, and being close to her people. Loyal, social, and full of personality, she brings warmth and joy wherever she goes. Penguin is a thoughtful, observant girl who has blossomed tremendously. She likes to take in new situations before diving in and often looks to Miranda for reassurance. Beneath that cautious exterior is a sweet girl who clearly wants to be part of the action. She adores treats, takes mealtimes very seriously, and has a stunning, luxurious coat that makes her impossible not to admire. As her confidence grows, so does her affectionate side. Together, these girls have retained all of their kitten charm. They love feather wands, playful wrestling matches, and afternoon naps in the sunshine. They’ve also proven to be wonderful big sisters to younger foster kittens and coexist happily with their foster dog brother. What makes Miranda and Penguin so special is how beautifully they complement one another. Miranda gives Penguin confidence, while Penguin’s steady presence balances Miranda’s adventurous spirit. Watching them check in on each other, play together, and curl up side-by-side is a daily reminder of the strength of their bond. These girls are looking for a loving home that appreciates the magic of a bonded pair and understands that every cat settles in at her own pace. Miranda will likely introduce herself right away. Penguin may take a little longer, but for the person willing to give her that time, the reward is watching a sweet, loving cat continue to bloom. If you’re looking for twice the companionship, twice the entertainment, and twice the love, Miranda and Penguin are ready to bring their special sisterhood into your home.

Bean, Female, Born May 2026
Bean has come a long way from her tiny beginnings outside in DC. Now three months old, this sleek little all-black girl has blossomed into a playful, curious kitten who is more than ready to trade life on the streets for a forever home of her own. Bean takes her kitten responsibilities very seriously: chase the mouse toys, catch the feather wand, investigate anything new, and then find a comfortable spot to lounge when the work is done. She loves exploring and discovering new places to play, but she’s equally happy settling in and enjoying the good life indoors. Bean grew up alongside her buddy Sprout, and the two would be thrilled to continue their adventures together. She can also be adopted separately into a home with another young, playful cat who can be her friend and partner in kitten mischief. From one tiny Bean found outside to one beautiful little house panther, she’s done plenty of growing. Now all she needs is a family to grow up with.

Sprout, Female, Born May 2026
Sprout started life as one tiny kitten outside in DC, but true to her name, she’s done quite a bit of growing since then. At three months old, this beautiful white and gray girl is ready to put her outdoor beginnings behind her and spend the rest of her life discovering all the good things that come with being a beloved indoor cat. Sprout is playful, curious and always ready for the next kitten adventure. Mouse toys are meant to be chased, feather wands are meant to be conquered, and any unexplored corner of the house deserves a thorough investigation. Once she’s gotten her fill of playtime, she’s just as content to lounge around and recharge for whatever comes next. Her buddy Bean has been by her side as they’ve grown, and they would make a wonderful pair for a family looking for twice the kitten fun. Sprout can also be adopted separately as long as there’s another young cat at home who would appreciate a new friend. She may have started as a little Sprout outside, but she’s grown into a lovely girl who is ready to put down roots with a family of her own.

Nova & Cosmo, Female & Male, Born July 2025 (bonded pair)
Why adopt one perfect tuxedo when you can have the matching set? Nova and Cosmo are 1-year-old twins who offer the best of both worlds. They’re still young enough for silly kitten antics and spontaneous play sessions, but old enough to have mastered the fine art of being wonderfully easygoing roommates. Once community kittens, these two have fully embraced indoor life. Cozy beds, sunny windows, heating pads, toys, treats and humans who provide unlimited pets? They’re sold. Cosmo is the slightly shyer half of the duo, but give him a little patience and his affectionate side quickly appears. Nova is a lover and she’ll melt into your hand for pets and even pop out of her favorite cozy spot to request more when you stop. Both siblings love to play, explore and keep each other entertained before inevitably settling in together for a good nap. Nova and Cosmo are sweet, silly, low-maintenance buddies who already come with their best friend built in. They’re also curious about other cats and could happily join a home with welcoming feline friends. If you’ve been waiting for an easygoing pair to fit right into your life, don’t overlook these two. Nova and Cosmo have already chosen each other. Now they just need someone to choose them.

Wren, Female, Born May 2026
Here’s a chance to get in on the ground floor of some serious cuteness with small but mighty kitten Wren. Named for Mandalorian and Jedi Sabine Wren (who gave the Darksaber to Bo-Katan. . . sorry, back to the kitty), this intrepid girl knows no fear. The tail of any big cat is fair game. Toes are something to be hunted. And rolling toys through tunnels (and working out how to get to the balls in the tower FROM THE CENTER) keeps her skills sharp. Wren has never met a human or feline stranger. She’d like to know who you are, whether you’d play, and if she can chase you. Then, when chasing all over the house is done, she likes to curl up on your lap (or somewhere she can see you) for a long nap and a good purr. Fearless Wren would do best with another kitty to play with. She’s very happy with kid and adults, alike. And, if you adopt her, you’ll get to watch how her fur is turning from brown tabby to brown + orange…and how she grows into her ears. In short, Wren is perfection in kitten form. You’ll laugh every single day, get the warm fuzzies from her snuggles, and marvel at her derring do. You really want to get started with her soon to enjoy every second!.

Telesto, Female, Born July 2026
Tele is a tiny little girl with a very sweet personality. She’s silly, playful, and loves playing with her siblings. She may be small, but she has no shortage of energy and is always ready to join in the fun. She’s also incredibly affectionate and loves being with her people, especially when she’s ready to take a break from playing. Tele would do best with a young, playful cat and would love to go home with one of her siblings – Atlas, Tethys, or Dione – or into a home with an age-appropriate cat.

Tethys is a sweet, playful girl who loves chasing and wrestling with her siblings. She has tons of energy and is always ready to play, but she’s also very affectionate with her humans. Once she’s worn herself out, she’s always happy to curl up on a lap for a cuddle. Tethys would do best with a young, playful cat, and would love to be adopted with one of her siblings – Atlas, Telesto, or Dione – or into a home with an age-appropriate cat.

Hundy & C-Note (bonded pair), Females, Born May 2026
Hundy and C-Note (aka CC) are sisters from the same litter, but we have a theory that Hundy was born first. You see, CC is obviously the baby. She is open and free with her affection, following her person (and other animals) around like a puppy. If you sit down, she dives into your lap. She is carefree, feeling no responsibility to the world other than to enjoy herself. CC is the ultimate lap cat. Hundy, on the other hand, is the guardian. Hundy is the one standing watch at the bathroom door, keeping a watchful eye, making sure everyone is protected. She is also the one watching the food dish, making sure that meals are provided in full and on time, and she will have words for you if you don’t deliver. Hundy is an independent girl, but once you settle in for a night on the couch, she is right there with you. Together they are a sweet pair with tons of personality who are looking for a human who makes them feel safe and loved. Are you that person?

Robbie, Male, Born June 2026
Everyone needs someone to come home to – someone who will celebrate your arrival like you’ve been away for days instead of hours, give you their entire attention while you decompress, cheer on the wins of your week, and soothe you with a comforting weight in your arms after a long hard day. Robbie’s entire mission in life is to do exactly this for his forever person every day, and he has been hard at work training for it during his time in foster. If he had a resume, Robbie’s proudest role would be president of the welcoming committee. And he has his technique nearly perfected by now – you’ll hear his happy croaks as he’s coming and you’ll spot his white chest patches and ghost tabby stripes a second before he slides out of the shadows, round eyes glistening, to jump in your arms with contented sighs and purrs. So what are you waiting for? Give this handsome and hospitable house panther a home – and he’ll give you this and so much more to come home to!

Franny, Female, Born November 2025
COURTESY POST: Franny is a boisterous 8-month-old kitten who loves teaser toys, sitting on chests, shoving her face directly into yours, sitting in open windows, and bunny kicking her toys. She was found happily wandering in a neighborhood, and her friendliness made her an instant hit with her foster family (who sadly already have 8 of their own cats and cant keep another, even one this cute and friendly!) Franny has a beautiful Torbie coat and an attitude to match. She knows that she is special, and she knows that you know it too! Her favorite thing to do when not eating is to stalk her wiggly teaser by hiding behind the bed skirt and pouncing on unsuspecting toys. Her energy is unrivaled, and she will instantly greet you at the door with a meow and a stretch, ready for games and pets. She likes to alternate between playing with her teasers and kickers and snuggling on laps or chests, building up her energy to play some more! Franny is still learning to contain her energy with her people, but she is smart and adaptable, very curious and loving, and the perfect edition for your family. She has firm boundaries about pets (NOT THE TAIL and preferably not the back either) but loves head, cheek, and chin scratches, scrunching her petite self into laps, lying on chests, knocking books out of your hand, and shoving her face right into yours with a soft cheek rub. She is probably best in a house without very young children as she nibbles a bit when playing, although not hard, but she would enjoy some older kids who can match her energy! *Courtesy posted kitties are not under Tails High custody and the adoption will be facilitated by the caretaker/Good Samaritan or owner of the cat. While a Tails High application will be used to assist that person in finding the best home possible, Tails High will not be involved with the adoption process and have no affiliation with future needs or care of this cat.
