My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

They say good things come to those who wait, and it must be true because as soon as Izzy realizes she is safe and loved, her irresistible personality bursts through and you will appreciate all the more how silly and sweet and utterly special this beautiful girl is!

Izzy thrives on stability and routine so she is looking for a quiet home and an understanding family who will give her time and space to warm up and come out of her shell. She absolutely adores her foster big brother and would do best with another young cat in the house to play with her and show her the ropes.

Izzy’s stunning torbie coloring may be what first catches your eye, but her big purr machine, her surprising spunk, her affectionate nature, and her love of all things fun and games really make her the most perfect package, all wrapped up in an orange and brown bow.

As with all of our young kittens, it is required that they be adopted as a pair, with another kitten, or to a home with another cat(s).

Additional adoption info

Tails High offers a a Foster-To-Adopt program when there are special considerations for adding a new cat to your household. FTA allows you to do have adequate time for a staged introduction to the new kitty in your home with other pets or family members. This trial basis as a foster parent before finalizing the adoption can range from 14-30 days depending on what our Adoption Team recommends and approves. Foster-To-Adopt ensures the new kitty is a good fit for you and your family, your current pets, and the Tails High cat or kitten(s) you’ve selected. Our goal is to make every effort to match people with the cats or kittens that will develop a lifelong bond.

We provide age appropriate vet care for all of the cats and kittens in our care at the time of adoption. This can vary depending on if you are adopting a kitten, an adult or senior cat. In most cases, kitties are spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccines (Rabies/FVRCP), FELV/FIV combo tested, given worm prevention and they have been microchipped. While we get the kitties off to their best start, we recommend our cats and kittens establish vet care once adopted within 60 days of going to their new home and provide the medical records to get set up with your primary vet.

Visit our web site to complete an adoption application. or send an email to us at meow@tailshigh.org and a Tails High representative will contact you promptly.

More about this rescue

Tails High Cat Rescue is a foster home-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit run 100% by passionate volunteers, helping cats and kittens in the Washington Metropolitan area, based in Alexandria, Virginia. All of our cats and kittens are in loving foster homes until they are ready for adoption. We do not have a physical shelter space and depend on the kindness of our volunteers to open their homes and hearts to kitties in need in order to fulfill our mission.

All our cats and kittens come from various backgrounds and beginnings. As we say, every cat deserves a loving advocate, so our kitties can be very different. We work very hard to provide excellent vet care from the time a cat or kitten comes into rescue. Additionally, we triage what each kitty needs from us in their foster home, prior to making them available for adoption. Because of the time we put into getting to know each and every one of our cats, we are specially positioned to be able to find their best match in a forever home. We take time to get to know their personalities, likes/dislikes and needs before sending them off to their future families. Each of cats and kittens are spayed/neutered prior to going to their forever home because we are adamantly concerned with doing our part to stop the overpopulation of cats in our communities. Spaying and neutering when age appropriate is key to ensuring the health of your cat and also stoping the cycle of reproduction. We also ensure our cats and kittens have age appropriate core vaccines to protect them from illnesses and get them started on a healthy path prior to adoption. We combo test our cats and kittens for feline leukemia and FIV and would disclose test results at the time of adoption. Our kitties are also microchipped prior to adoption to ensure they have added security should they ever get away from their family, but we do not permit our cats to ever be outdoor. As a “cage-free” shelter, our cats are fostered in homes with other cats, dogs, and children when possible. We spend a lot of time playing and cuddling with our rescue kitties, as well as socializing them, and making sure they learn to love their people as much as their people love them. We believe we have a cat for everyone, if they are ready to love unconditionally and prove they are committed to a cat as a family member to cherish for their lifetime.
