About Tail Town Cats
Tail Town Cats is a non-profit adoption organization and cat lounge located in historic Pasadena, California, partnering with Kitten Rescue of Los Angeles to find homes for adoption-ready cats. Founded in 2021, Tail Town operates as a large foster facility housing 30-40 cats in a cool, comfortable lounge space and has successfully facilitated over 500 adoptions in its first years of operation. The organization is family-founded and woman-owned, operated by Pasadena community volunteers dedicated to saving cats from high-kill shelters, the streets, and situations of neglect or harm. Tail Town's dual mission focuses on preparing adopters for years of health, love, and success with their new feline family members while educating the broader community about the value of building positive relationships with animals. The organization donates all profits back to cat care and facility operations, embodying a commitment to sustainable, community-centered rescue work.
Visiting Tail Town Cats costs $20 per hour and welcomes both those seeking to adopt and those simply wanting their "kitty-fix" without adoption intentions. The space is intentionally designed to benefit both playful kittens and older cats, offering a safe, comfortable environment where visitors can interact with adoption prospects while building positive relationships with animals. Volunteers are exceptionally knowledgeable and guide visitors through conversations about each cat's personality, needs, and adoption readiness. The lounge offers cold, non-alcoholic beverages, and visitors are welcome to bring their own human snacks (with a large bakery conveniently located next door). The space features thoughtful decorations, art available for purchase, and a calm, welcoming environment suitable for extended visits. Monthly passes are available for those who want to build deeper connections with the resident cats and return regularly.
Tail Town hosts a robust calendar of community-focused events extending far beyond casual cat visiting. Painting classes, art shows, pilates sessions, game nights, and cat bingo create opportunities for diverse community members to engage while supporting the rescue mission. Staff members are described as genuine cat people who prioritize the cats' wellbeing while ensuring visitors have an enjoyable, enriching experience. The adoption process involves a partnership with Kitten Rescue of Los Angeles, including application review, home visits, and adoption fees. Visitors consistently praise the facility's cleanliness, the visible health and socialization of the resident cats, and the volunteer staff's knowledge and dedication. The experience of spending extended time with different cats, guided by knowledgeable volunteers, allows visitors to make thoughtful adoption decisions or simply enjoy therapeutic interaction with well-adjusted animals. By combining accessible community spaces with rigorous adoption standards and educational programming, Tail Town Cats has become a beloved local resource that addresses both rescue needs and community longing for positive human-animal connection.
