Adult Cats

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.


Stardust, Female, Born October 2023

Stardust is a stunning two-year-old bicolor beauty who is finally ready for the magical ending her rescue story deserves. She earned her name from the vintage shop whose alley she called home, often slipping inside to lounge on midcentury couches and greet customers as if she were part of the décor. What no one knew at first was that she had a secret tucked safely under a shed behind the store—six tiny kittens she was lovingly raising on her own. Thanks to Tails High, Stardust traded alleyways and antique sofas for the comforts of indoor life, and she has blossomed into a sweetheart who just needs a little time to settle in and show her sparkly personality. She is playful, silly, prone to adorable zoomies, and happiest when curled beside you for a cozy TV session or stretched luxuriously in a sunny window like the glamorous vintage muse she is. Stardust does not care for other animals or the chaos of small children, which is understandable after surviving outside alone, so she’s looking for a home where she can reign as your one and only princess. She also has a funny quirk—she sometimes growls at her reflection in mirrors, even though we keep telling her she’s beautiful. If you’re ready for a starry-eyed companion who brings retro charm, cuddly warmth, and a touch of celestial sass, Stardust is your girl.

Gazelle & Springbok, Females, Born August 2024

Gazelle and Springbok are the kind of best-friend duo you dream of finding, two bonded tabby sisters whose love for each other, their humans, and a good snuggle knows no bounds. Silly, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining, these girls are true snuggle queens who balance playful antics with the coziest cuddle sessions imaginable. Their journey hasn’t been an easy one, and a tough start to life left them with beautifully unique, slightly scarred eyes that we think only add to their charm and character. They’ve been fully evaluated by an ophthalmologist, have normal vision, and simply need one easy eye drop a day to keep their eyes feeling and looking their best — think of it like taking your daily vitamins, a small routine that comes with the biggest reward of having a built-in best friend. Gazelle, a dreamy lilac-lavender tabby with soft taupe tones, is a champion snuggler who greets her favorite people with the sweetest little paw taps, while Springbok, a striking black and brown tabby with luscious whiskers, keeps the household laughing with her love of toys and her thriving cardboard demolition business. At just one year old, they’re playful like kittens, deeply people-oriented, and happiest curled up together in a cozy bed, belly-up in a sunbeam, or snoozing side by side in the cat tree. They get along well with other cats and would happily join a home with resident kitties, but truly, as long as they have each other, they are perfectly content. Gazelle and Springbok are resilient, joyful, and utterly devoted to one another, and they’re ready to bring twice the love, laughter, and warmth to one very lucky forever home.

Clair de Lune & Soleil, Females, Born April 2024

Clair de Lune and Soleil are a bonded pair of 1.5 year old girls who brighten every room with their gentle, loving energy. These two had a tough start surviving outdoors but their sweet personalities quickly shined through once they were safe. It was clear from the beginning that they were inseparable. Lune is soft and thoughtful like the moonlight she is named for, while Soleil is bold and sunny with a playful spark. They adore each other and are often found walking side by side with tails intertwined. They enjoy wand toys, cozy window perches, and being near their people. They have also blossomed beautifully in foster care thanks to a patient and loving foster family. Both girls are FeLV positive which means they need to remain together and be the only cats in the home or live with other FeLV positive companions. They are healthy, happy, and ready for a calm home where they can continue to thrive. If you are looking for a pair of affectionate companions who will fill your home with warmth and charm, Clair de Lune and Soleil are ready to light up your life.

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.

Strega Nona, Female, Born May 2020

Strega Nona is a 6-year-old girl named after an Italian grandmother for a reason. She has that same easy, no-nonsense presence that’s quietly comforting without asking for much in return. She’s a low key cat who mostly keeps to herself, content to spend her days stretched out in a sunny window or tucked into a favorite spot nearby. She enjoys calm routines and a peaceful home where nothing feels rushed or overwhelming. Strega Nona isn’t demanding and doesn’t need to be entertained. She shows affection in subtle ways, choosing when to be close and appreciating gentle attention on her terms. She’s the kind of cat who fits naturally into your life rather than trying to run it. She doesn’t mind other cats and can coexist just fine, but she doesn’t require a feline friend to be happy. Strega Nona would do equally well as the only cat or in a home with another mellow companion. A quieter environment where she can settle in and feel secure is where she truly shines. If you’re looking for an easygoing, independent cat who brings a calm energy to your home and is perfectly happy sharing space without constant interaction, Strega Nona is a wonderful choice.

Blue Tang, Male, Born March 2024

Blue Tang is a 1.5 year old tuxedo boy with a personality as bright and joyful as the tropical blue fish he’s named after. We first met him at the Humane Society of St. Thomas while visiting the island and he made sure we noticed him right away. He climbed straight into our lap, then onto a shoulder, and even stood proudly on a volunteer’s back to get closer and be seen over the other kitties. He knew exactly how to stand out and he completely stole our hearts. Since arriving in Virginia, Blue Tang has been an absolute delight. He spent his very first Christmas in a warm and loving foster home and has settled in beautifully. He is incredibly sweet, easy going, and full of gentle charm. Blue Tang loves to snuggle, happily soak up attention, and stretch out in sunny spots that remind him of island life. He has a wonderfully silly side too, complete with an adorable little derp and a tongue that often sneaks out to say hello. Blue Tang does well with other cats and enjoys their company, but he has also shown that he is perfectly content soaking up all the love as a solo kitty. He has even been great with his foster brother dog, showing just how adaptable and laid back he truly is. This unique island boy brings calm, joy, and a touch of sunshine wherever he goes, and he is more than ready for the forever family he has been waiting for.

She brings an easy, happy energy to the home and balances playful fun with relaxed companionship beautifully.

Bruce Almighty, Male, Born October 2021

Big, mighty, and oh so gentle, Bruce Almighty is a four-year-old blue-eyed teddy bear of a cat who’s ready to trade his outdoor past for a cozy forever home. With his plush fur, soulful gaze, and heart of gold, Bruce is as handsome as he is sweet. For years, Bruce lived as a community cat, cared for by kind neighbors who adored him. When his best friend outside sadly passed from cancer, Bruce’s heart broke, and his caretakers knew he deserved a chance at the good life indoors. Since coming inside, Bruce has blossomed. Once shy, he now stretches out for pets from his foster mom and melts under a good brushing session. He’s discovered the joy of soft blankets, windowsills, and, of course, endless snacks—he’ll tell you he’s just big boned! Bruce is a gentle soul who gets along well with other easygoing cats but would prefer a calm home without dogs or small children. What he truly needs is a quiet, patient family who will give him time to settle in and show his loving personality. If you’re looking for a big, huggable boy to fill your home with warmth and quiet affection, Bruce Almighty is your guy.
