Dedicated to helping needy Cats around the Tampa Bay area.


At Happy Tailz, we help sick, injured, and special needs cats get a fighting chance at life.


We work closely with local shelters, vets, and fosters to provide the best care possible to every animal we take in. We specialize in those with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, Injuries, Illness requiring intensive care, and those who are FIV+ and/or FeLV+. Once ready, we strive to find all the loving forever homes they deserve.

Adoption Services

Once our cats are vetted (fixed, gotten UTD on vaccines, microchipped, FIV/FeLV test) and recovered they are placed for adoption. If you are interested in adopting please contact us. If you are interested in adopting a specific cat, please fill out the adoption application located at the top of our website.

Want to Foster?

We are always in need of new fosters. Fosters care for the cats by providing a warm, loving, and fun environment for them to recover/grow. Foster Care is demanding, but it is worth it. Fostering literally saves lives. If you are interested in fostering please contact us.

What an amazing rescue! They take on every cat that needs a home. Even ones that have special needs! It takes special people with big hearts to maintain a rescue like this. I highly recommend this rescue to anyone that is looking for a cat/kitten.

I have never seen a cat rescue take such good care and have as much compassion towards animals as much as happy tailz. They work hard and make sure every animal is treated like a member of their own family! I highly recommend getting a precious kitty from them.
