About this shelter

Tails High, Inc. in Alexandria, VA

Tails High, Inc. is an animal shelter located in Alexandria, Virginia, about 2 miles east of Alexandria, with 4 other animal shelters or rescues also based in Alexandria city. It is a foster home-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit run entirely by volunteers, helping cats and kittens throughout the Washington Metropolitan area rather than operating out of a physical shelter space. The organization focuses on orphan kittens, nursing queens with litters, friendly strays, and cats with urgent medical or behavioral needs, stepping in when other rescues are unable to help. Every cat is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, combo-tested for feline leukemia and FIV, and microchipped before adoption, and cats are placed in cage-free foster homes with other pets and children until matched with their forever family.
