RESCUE BUILT ON TRUST
Itty Bitty Kitty Tails (IBKT) is a UK-registered non-profit supporting the responsible rehabilitation and rehoming of rescued cats through trusted relationships, collaborative rescue support and carefully managed adoption pathways.
Working alongside rescuers, fosters and welfare advocates across the UAE, wider Middle East and beyond, we help cats transition safely into loving, long-term homes.

MORE THAN A RESCUE
Itty Bitty Kitty Tails was built on the belief that rescue should be responsible, transparent and rooted in long-term welfare.
What began as a small rescue initiative has evolved into a collaborative support ecosystem connecting rescuers, fosters, adopters and advocates through trusted relationships and carefully managed rehabilitation and rehoming pathways.
We believe every cat deserves more than simply being “placed”. They deserve preparation, understanding, safety and the opportunity to transition into a home that is genuinely right for them.
HOW IBKT WORKS
Every rescue journey is different, but our approach remains the same: thoughtful rehabilitation, responsible preparation and long-term welfare at every stage
1
RESCUE & WELFARE ASSESSMENT
Working collaboratively with rescuers and welfare advocates to assess each cat’s immediate needs, health and long-term welfare requirements.
2
VETERINARY CARE & REHABILITATION
Providing appropriate veterinary support, behavioural understanding and rehabilitation before adoption is considered.
3
FOSTER PREPARATION
Cats are supported through foster care environments that help them decompress, recover and transition safely toward adoption readiness.
4
CAREFUL MATCHING & ADOPTION
We prioritise thoughtful matching based on lifestyle, personality and long-term suitability rather than quick placements.
5
ONGOING SUPPORT
Our relationship with adopters does not end at arrival. We continue providing guidance and support throughout the transition journey.
CAT OF THE MONTH
Paddy is the kind of cat who does not simply live in your home, he becomes part of your daily rhythm.
From the moment you wake up to the second you sit down in the evening, he wants to be right there with you. Curled at your feet, stretched across your lap, or quietly supervising whatever you are doing, Paddy is deeply people-oriented and thrives on connection.
BUILT THROUGH COMMUNITY
Meaningful rescue is never done alone.
Behind every successful adoption is a network of rescuers, fosters, adopters, supporters and advocates working together to create better outcomes for rescued cats.
FEATURED CATS
Every cat featured by IBKT has their own personality, history and journey toward trust.
Some arrive confident and affectionate. Others need time, patience and understanding after difficult starts in life. Through rehabilitation, foster care and careful matching, we work to ensure each cat is placed into a home that genuinely suits both their needs and the adopter’s lifestyle.
We believe adoption should never feel transactional. It should feel thoughtful, informed and built around long-term wellbeing - for both cats and people.
