‼️ Emergency foster needed for Luna & Maci!

Their foster needs to go out of town unexpectedly and these two need a safe place to stay together. Luna and Maci are a bonded pair who love to snuggle up together.

Luna is outgoing, while Maci can be a little reserved at first - but she warms up quickly. They’re also available for adoption together!!

Can you foster Luna and Maci, or give them a forever home as a pair? Please message us as soon as possible.

Meet Maverick!

This 4 year old handsome beast of a boi is looking for a foster home while he finishes recovering from his surgeries. He had some bladder stones that were taken out and a dental that resulted in a couple teeth extractions. He’s doing FABULOUS!

Why don’t we have more photos? Because he keeps head bumping the camera 🤣 he’s the sweetest guy we might have ever met.

Let us know if you have room for him to keep recovering from surgery, and maybe even until he finds his new furever home 🥰

36 kittens, One incredible team!

We’re so grateful we had the opportunity to be part of last weekend’s spay & neuter clinic! Our training building was filled with an amazing group of people who came together to help give 36 kittens a healthier start and prepare them for their next chapter.

A huge thank you to the Kronos Adam Foundation and Southwest Cat Initiative for bringing everyone together and allowing Tail Town to be a small part of such a meaningful effort. We’re always happy to lend our space and support when it means helping pets in our community.

And the best part? All 36 kittens are now available for adoption! ❤️
Thank you to everyone who helped make the weekend possible. We loved seeing so many people come together for these little ones!

Meet Baker! He got his name because he’s a nonstop biscuit maker. This affectionate six-month-old was born outdoors in a cat colony, and he’s ready for a cozy home of his own.

Baker is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He’s looking for a foster -or- adoptive home. Could that be with you? 😉

Fill out an adoption application here if you’re interested in setting up a meet and greet with this handsome boi. Adoption fee: $100

Our kittens are growing up 🥺

…and apparently, so are their appetites! We’ve officially eaten through our wet food supply and are also running low on cat litter.

Our biggest needs right now are:

🐱 Kitten wet food
🐱 Cat litter

If you’d like to help us restock, both items can be purchased through our Amazon or Chewy wish lists and shipped directly to SWCI. Even one case of food or one box of litter helps!

Thank you for helping us keep little bellies full and litter boxes clean. ❤️

🚨 Emergency Fosters Needed!

We have a foster in our house with ringworm 😭 with the upcoming clinic we have fosters who will be coming before the clinic and after the clinic to be ready for adoption. Normally they stay with us but not with RW!

We need ASAP foster for:
- 2 kittens, male & female - TONIGHT
- 5 kittens, one male, 4 females - Saturday/Sunday, exact time TBD (two have adopters!)
- 1 male kitten, slightly older - after clinic Sunday

They will all be adoption ready, just need a place to crash until we’re RW free at home base (3-12 weeks 😭😭😭) or they get adopted.

🚨 We also need laundry help 🚨 (clinic laundry not RW 😉)
Anyone willing to take our recovery laundry to the laundromat for one big cleaning and folding session. Normally this is part of our pre-clinic routine but but our washer and dryer will now be stuck in decontamination mode

We'll happily provide the quarters and laundry detergent

(PFA - not the kitten in question)
