My story

DOB: 3/5/19

Tippy Tail was rescued from the LA City Shelter with his siblings as bottle babies. Tippy Tail is a hefty kitty, pushing 12 lbs but has no idea he’s got that much weight to throw around.  A clumsy goofball, he tends to fling himself on top of his brother or romp around the house with one of the resident cats.  He loves to chirp and chatter with you when he wants attention.  He’s not a huge fan of being hugged, though he will sleep on the bed with you and cuddle on your legs with his fellow cat friends.

Tippy Tail needs to be adopted with his brother Roy, they are the purrfect pair and the ultimate dynamic duo!  They have been 2 peas in a pod since they were 4 week old kittens. Both boys are good with other cats, they love their foster buddies and would be happy to share their home with a resident kitty.

Tippy Tail and Roy have sensitive stomachs and cannot have kibble, they are on a wet only, poultry based pate style Friskies.  Other foods upset their system and they must remain either on this Friskies wet only diet or a raw cat food diet.

If you are unable to send an email to the foster parent through the link included above, please contact us and let us know what kitty you're interested in.  You may also fill out our adoption questionnaire to speed up the screening process.  Be sure to name the cat in the CAT PREFERENCE field at the beginning of the questionnaire. If the above links aren't live, our contact form and questionnaire are available on our website at www.kittenrescue.org.

More about this rescue

Kitten Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization devoted to finding loving homes for unwanted, homeless cats and kittens. We rescue cats and kittens from the streets of Los Angeles and from City Shelter euthanasia. Since our start in 1997, we have grown into one of the largest, most well-respected animal welfare groups in LA.

Kitten Rescue volunteers adopt out over 1,000 cats and kittens into homes every year. We educate the public about responsible pet guardianship, how to care for kittens and cats, and the importance of spaying and neutering. Kitten Rescue makes educational material available via events, print, school presentations and here on our website. We also provide Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance for communities in and around Los Angeles, and teach people how to manage and care for feral cat colonies.
