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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n

To be considered as a potential adopter, complete an <\/span>adoption application<\/a>. Completing the application does not guarantee it will be approved.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

*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.<\/p>\r\n

Katydid, Female, Born May<\/strong><\/span> 2025<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Katydid isn\u2019t just any kitten\u2014she\u2019s a one-of-a-kind sweetheart who hops through life with pure joy and unstoppable charm. Born with spina bifida (also known as Manx syndrome), Katydid has no tail and walks in what\u2019s called a \u201cplantigrade stance,\u201d meaning she moves with her back legs stretched out behind her in a gentle bunny-hop style. That adorable gait is exactly how she earned her name\u2014like her namesake insect cousin, she\u2019s always bouncing around with spirit and curiosity! Katydid\u2019s condition also affects her bladder and bowels, so she needs a little extra help from her humans. Her foster mom expresses her bladder and bowels three times a day (it\u2019s easy to learn\u2014takes about five minutes total), and Katydid wears adorable washable diapers the rest of the time. Think of it as her own personal fashion statement! Plus, you won\u2019t need to add a litter box for her since she can\u2019t use it! Once you meet her, though, it\u2019s Katydid\u2019s personality that will steal your heart. She\u2019s endlessly affectionate, always purring, and happiest when snuggled up with her people or kitty friends. She loves to be kissed, held, and doted on, and she returns every ounce of affection tenfold. Between cuddle sessions, she\u2019s a whirlwind of play\u2014chasing wand toys, hopping after fuzzy balls, and zooming up and down the stairs like it\u2019s her personal racetrack. The only thing she can\u2019t do? Jump onto your kitchen counters. (We call that a bonus feature.) Katydid is very social and thrives on feline friendship, so she needs to be adopted to a home with another young, playful cat or kitten who loves to wrestle, chase, and nap in a cozy pile. She hasn\u2019t met any dogs yet, but we suspect she\u2019d do great with gentle, cat-savvy pups. She\u2019d also be a wonderful companion for kids or adults alike. To make her transition easy and stress-free, Tails High is offering an extended 30-day foster-to-adopt period so her new family can learn the ropes with support from Katydid\u2019s foster mom and our veterinary team. Her foster mom will teach you everything about expressing and diapering, and Katydid will come with her very own diaper wardrobe\u2014because a girl\u2019s gotta have options! Katydid can\u2019t wait to bounce her way into your life!

Nova, Female, Born July 2025<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Nova is a gentle little star who\u2019s just discovering how wonderful indoor life can be. Once a community kitten, she\u2019s quickly learned that cozy beds, warm heating pads, and kind humans are where the magic happens. She may be a bit shy at first, but give her a quiet moment and a soft approach, and she melts right into your hand. In fact, when you stop petting her, Nova pops right out of her comfy spot to ask for more \u2014 a sure sign that a devoted cuddle bug is just waiting to shine. With a little patience, she\u2019s going to be someone\u2019s constant companion. Nova loves to play, especially with string toys, and she\u2019s always happy to indulge in a fun new toy or a tasty treat. She\u2019s wonderfully observant too \u2014 you\u2019ll often find her perched by the window or watching her people with bright, curious eyes. She came inside with her brother Cosmo, and the two share a sweet bond full of playtime and snuggles. They enjoy each other\u2019s company and are also very interested in making new feline friends. If you\u2019re looking for a soft-hearted, blossoming kitten who will reward your love with loyalty and affection, Nova is ready to light up your home. ***Nova must be adopted with her brother Cosmo OR to a home that already has another young cat or kitten.***<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Cosmo, Male, Born July 2025<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>\r\n

Cosmo may be a little shy, but behind that cautious gaze is a tenderhearted sweetheart just waiting for his person. With his perfectly painted mustache and thoughtful eyes, he looks like a tiny gentleman \u2014 and he lives up to the part. He\u2019s still building his confidence, so he prefers to observe from a cozy hiding spot at first. But once he realizes he\u2019s safe, he melts into a ball of purrs and head nuzzles. Watching him choose to trust you is incredibly special. Cosmo is a big fan of Churus and will happily let you win him over with a tasty treat. He also adores playtime with his sister Nova and lights up when he\u2019s around other cats \u2014 he\u2019s especially curious about making new feline friends. Having a confident kitty companion in his forever home would help him continue to blossom. As a former community kitten, the human world is still new and sometimes a little overwhelming. He\u2019s looking for a patient, gentle adopter who will let him settle in at his own pace. In return, he promises to be your loyal, loving best friend for years to come. ***Cosmo must be adopted with his sister Nova OR to a home that already has another young cat or kitten.***<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Mackinac, Male, Born December 2025<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>\r\n

Mackinac is a 4 month old little adventurer who just happens to be blind, but you\u2019d never guess it from the way he charges through life. This fearless guy greets everyone like a long lost friend with instant purrs and enthusiastic head boops, and he truly loves every person he meets. Mack plays hard and lives big, zooming around after his ball track like a pro and proudly showing off his toy collection, especially his beloved catnip banana and fish. He navigates new spaces with impressive confidence, proving that nothing is going to slow him down. When he\u2019s not busy playing, he\u2019s making biscuits anywhere and everywhere, including halfway down the stairs when he decides kneading is more important than finishing the trip. Mack has enjoyed making feline friends and will need a kitty buddy in his forever home to keep the fun going. If you\u2019re looking for a happy, hilarious, and endlessly affectionate sidekick, Mackinac is ready to roll right into your life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
