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>\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>\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>\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>\n

Wren, Female, Born May 2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>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!.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Tele is a tiny little girl with a very sweet personality. She\u2019s 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\u2019s also incredibly affectionate and loves being with her people, especially when she\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Penguin & Miranda (bonded pair), Females, Born September 2025<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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

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

Bean, Female, Born May 2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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

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

Sprout, Female, Born May 2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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

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

Nova & Cosmo, Female & Male, Born July 2025 (bonded pair)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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

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\u2019re 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\u2019re 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\u2019ll 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\u2019re also curious about other cats and could happily join a home with welcoming feline friends. If you\u2019ve been waiting for an easygoing pair to fit right into your life, don\u2019t overlook these two. Nova and Cosmo have already chosen each other. Now they just need someone to choose them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pollicle Dog, Female, Born July 2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Her name may be Pollicle Dog but friends call her Polly Pocket because she is perfectly petite and travel sized for your convenience! Though she has always been the littlest of her litter and the baby of the group, Polly herself does not seem to know she is on the smallish side. She may seem shy and demure for the first minute you meet her but don\u2019t be fooled – she has a huge amount of silliness and spirit, and she knows how to stand up for herself! With her perfect pink ears, that signature nose freckle, and those puppy dog eyes, little Polly is ready to love on you in a BIG way! Pollicle Dog can be adopted with one of her siblings (Jellicle Moon, Mungojerri, or Rum Tum Tugger), or to a home that already has a young, playful kitty.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s a bird! It\u2019s a plane! No, it\u2019s a Jellicle Moon! This graceful grey and white girl is a true little acrobat in training. Her agile moves with a wand toy are worth the price of admission alone, and if she finds a little ball or spring and turns the Jelly Show on full volume, well, the rest of the world will just have to wait. You will not be able to do anything but laugh and cheer as she flamboyantly jumps, cavorts, and tumbles all over herself. When she\u2019s done with her aerial tricks and hypnotic routines, Jelly will land in your lap like it was made just for her. She\u2019s never met a person she does not immediately consider a friend, and the only thing this sweet little entertainer enjoys more than showing off is showing love! Jellicle Moon can be adopted with one of her siblings (Mungojerri, Pollicle Dog, or Rum Tum Tugger), or to a home that already has a young, playful kitty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s Mungojerri (aka MJ).

With her overflowing enthusiasm, liveliness, and humor, life with MJ will always be chock full of energy and excitement in the very best way! 2 parts intelligence and 1 part mischief, MJ is 110% perfection. Mungojerri can be adopted with one of her siblings (Jellicle Moon, Pollicle Dog, or Rum Tum Tugger), or to a home that already has a young, playful kitty.<\/span><\/p>\n
