Tails from the City is an all volunteer 501(c)3 shelter that was formed in October 2011, when we rescued over 100 cats from a hoarding situation. Although many of the "original" cats have been adopted out, we continue to help cats in need (and unfortunately, there always seem to be cats in need).
We welcome all volunteers (must be 16 or older), and can always use donations of the following items:
>Monetary gifts for vetting, medicine, utilities, and supplies
>Gift cards to Costco, Petsmart/Petco, Target/Walmart, Officemax/Staples, Home Depot/Lowes
>Towels, sheets/blankets, cat or small dog beds
>Clumping litter
>Canned cat food
>purina or Kirkland Dry Catfood
>Kitten food (canned and dry) and KMR
>Treats, toys, scratchers, and carriers
>Papertowels, garbage bags, Spic and Span Floor Cleaner, Clorox Wipes, dishwasher tabs, and Dawn or Palmolive dish detergent
>Laundry detergent, fabric softener, and bleach
>Feline Revolution, Frontline, Pill Pockets, Lysine
>Face masks, disposable exam gloves
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Additional adoption info
All of our animals are up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and tested for FIV/FeLV. We also started microchipping all of our animals receiving their vetting as of March 2023. Any health issues of which we are aware are treated prior to adoption. We do have some cats with special needs - if we know about a health condition, you will be made fully aware of the condition prior to adoption.
All potential adopters must fill out an adoption application on our website - www.tailsfromthecitycleveland.org. The application will be reviewed and an adoption counselor will contact you. A home visit may be conducted, and references will be checked. If approved, an adoption contract will be required.
Our adoption fees are $125 for kittens under 6 months old, $105 for kittens 6 months to a year, and $75 for adult cats.
If an adoption is not a successful match, Tails from the City will take back the animal you adopted from us at any time.
