Directions Website Contact the organization

High Tails Animal Rescue, NFP We are dedicated to finding forever homes for rescue cats (and sometimes dogs) in the Greater Chicago area.🩵 Need to get in touch?

High Tails Animal Rescue, NFP is a licensed 501(c)(3) not-for-profit animal rescue and welfare organization. We are both volunteer-run and foster-based serving the Greater Chicagoland area and Northern Suburbs of Illinois. Our organization rescues cats of all breeds and ages and finds them permanent homes while helping the occasional dog. We rescue primarily from animal controls and shelters, and assist our established partners with owner abandonment cases and friendly strays. Owner surrenders and strays found by the public are handled on a case-by-case basis. Within our organization, our animals are prepared for adoption by receiving personalized care in a certified foster home and medical attention from our veterinarian partners. To achieve our mission, we network amongst fosters, volunteers, rescuers, transports, and pet professionals. Not only are we dedicated to saving lives, but we are also actively committed to advancing animal welfare by being an educational resource for families, promoting responsible pet ownership. By preparing not just the pets, but also their families, we can ensure adopting a rescue pet is filled with enjoyment and happiness for all.

**

As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a physical shelter for the public to visit. Meet and greets with our animals are reserved for approved applicants to respect the privacy of our fosters. Email us and we will get back to you within 48-72 hours. As a 100% volunteer-run rescue, we appreciate your patience. The High Tails team welcomes you to view our website and apply to adopt, foster, or volunteer with us today.

Ruby & Cupid are still waiting for their forever home. ❤️‍🩹

These two are a bonded pair, which means their next chapter has to be written together.

As the end of the year gets closer, our biggest wish is simple: to see Ruby and Cupid finally chosen by a family who will love them both.

They have each other, and that bond is incredibly special. But what they’re still missing is a home to call their own — a place where they can settle in side by side, feel safe, and know that they are finally home for good.

We would love nothing more than for 2026 to be the last year Ruby and Cupid spend waiting.

And while adopting two cats may sound like a bigger commitment, a bonded pair can come with some pretty special benefits. Ruby and Cupid already have a built-in best friend to play with, nap beside, and keep each other company. Having one another can help ease boredom, provide comfort during transitions, and give them an outlet for play and companionship — especially when their humans are busy or away from home. 💕

With Ruby and Cupid, you aren’t bringing home two strangers and hoping they get along. You’re welcoming home two best friends who already know they belong together.

If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet pair, please consider giving them the happy ending they deserve by applying to adopt at HighTailsNFP.org/adopt.

And if you can’t adopt, please SHARE. Their future family may be one post away. 🏡

Cupid and Ruby are practicing their synchronized stretches to make sure they’re fully warmed up for snuggles in their forever home. 💗

These bonded siblings do everything together—play, nap, explore, and, apparently, stretch. We promised them their next big stretch would be in a home of their own. 🏡✨
