Thank you for supporting our shelter, our volunteers, and the cats and kittens who depend on us every single day. Good luck, everyone! 🐱💛

CUTENESS OVERLOAD!❤

We have the most adorable little faces visiting our pet store partners in Airdrie.

Missi, Blue and Simbah are hanging out with the amazing staff over at PetValu in Coopers Crossing. Make sure to get your kitty cuddles in.

Burner and Toasted Marshmallow are loving up everyone they meet down at Pet Planet in Sierra Springs. How can you resist?!

But remember...just until Sunday, so don't wait!

☔🌧️ Mother Nature Has Other Plans 🌧️☔

Well… we had the burgers.
We had the music.
We had the bottles.
We had the summer vibes.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature apparently didn't get the invitation. 😒

Due to the rainy weather heading our way this weekend, we have made the difficult decision to POSTPONE our School's Out BBQ & Bottle Drive.

As disappointed as we are, we want everyone to stay dry, safe, and actually enjoy the event when we gather together.

📣 A new date will be announced soon!

Please keep those bottles and cans tucked away for us—we'll still happily take them once we reschedule or drop them off at the shelter if that works for you. The hamburgers, music, Gold Cards, and more will all be waiting for their big day.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the incredible people who have already stepped up to support this event:

💛 Anne McKinty for generously donating the food.
💛 Carmen's Bigway Foods for donating his parking lot and supplying all the food
💛 Boom Construction for donating the BBQ.
💛 Our wonderful volunteers and supporters who were ready to make this event a success.

While we're certainly not thrilled with Mother Nature's timing, we know a little rain won't dampen the amazing community support behind Tails to Tell.

Stay tuned for the new date announcement. We promise the burgers will still be hot, the music will still be playing, and the cats will still be counting on all of us. 🐾💛

Until then, we're officially shaking our paws at the weather. ☔🐱

💛 Once a Tails to Tell Cat… Always a Tails to Tell Cat 💛

Inside the group you'll find:

📸 Adoption updates and happy endings

🐱 Silly antics, funny stories, and everyday moments
💛 Fellow T2T families who understand that one cat photo is never enough

One of the greatest gifts for our volunteers, foster families, and staff is seeing the cats we loved so much thriving in their forever homes. Whether your T2T cat came home last month or many years ago, we'd love to see how they're doing.

Joining is easy!

🧡 Distinguished Ginger Gentleman Seeking Quiet, Long-Term Relationship 🧡

Name: Still accepting nicknames from the right person 😉
Age: 8 years young
Hair Color: Gorgeous ginger
Relationship Status: Single, affectionate, and ready to settle down

About Me:
I've reached that wonderful stage in life where I know exactly who I am.
Gone are the days of chaos and drama. These days, I appreciate the simple pleasures:
🛏️ A cozy place to nap
💛 Gentle companionship
🐾 A peaceful home
✨ And world-class butt scratches
Especially the butt scratches.

I'm a bit of an introvert when we first meet. I prefer to ease into new relationships rather than rushing headfirst into them. You might find me relaxing in my favorite hidey hole, quietly taking everything in and deciding whether you're worthy of my trust.

(Don't take it personally. I'm a careful guy.)

But once I know you're one of the good ones?

Oh, that's when things get interesting.

Suddenly I'll be leaning into your hand for pets.
I'll happily soak up attention.
And I'll reveal the sweet, loving side that my friends keep telling me is impossible not to fall for.

My ideal match:
💕 Patient and kind
💕 Appreciates a slower-paced relationship
💕 Enjoys quiet evenings at home
💕 Possesses excellent petting skills

Bonus points if you understand that some of the best relationships take a little time to grow.

What I bring to the table:
✔️ Handsome ginger good looks
✔️ Mature outlook on life
✔️ Endless gratitude for affection
✔️ Loyal companionship
✔️ A surprisingly powerful appreciation for butt scratches

I'm not looking for a whirlwind romance.

I'm looking for a forever person.

Someone who will give me the time I need to settle in and discover that underneath my shy exterior is a gentle heart with so much love left to give.

If you're searching for a sweet senior gentleman who believes in taking things slow and building something special together, I think we should meet. 🧡

📞 Call 403.946.0400 to book your personal meet-and-greet.

I'll be the handsome ginger fellow pretending not to notice you... while secretly hoping you'll come and say hello. 🐾

New Intake

This beautiful ginger was found roaming around a farm in Rocky View County, between Range Rd 34 and Township Rd 272.

He is not neutered and does not have a microchip.

If you believe this is your cat please call 403-946-0400 ext 6.
Proof of ownership is required.

Friendly Reminder: Any cats not claimed within 3 days (10 days if they have a microchip or tattoo) will become part the Tails To Tell family and may be getting ready for their forever homes.
Thank you for understanding.

We're throwing a little summer party, and you're invited!

💛 A huge thank you to Anne McKinty, who has generously donated all of the food through Carmen's Bigway Foods.

These amazing businesses and supporters are helping us turn burgers into vet care, bottles into second chances, and community spirit into lifesaving work for cats in need.

So grab the family, round up those cans and bottles, and come hang out with us for a few hours.

The burgers will be hot.
The music will be playing.
All that's missing is YOU! 😎🐾

💛 A Very Special Thank You 💛

The cats and kittens of Tails to Tell would like to send a huge thank you to the students, staff, and families of Nose Creek Elementary School (Airdrie) for their incredible generosity.

Through their juice box recycling program, the school raised an amazing $1,700 for our shelter! 🐾

Pictured is student Olivia presenting the cheque to our founder, Edna Jackson. Olivia is also holding a photo of her beloved cat, Snowy, who was adopted from Tails to Tell several years ago. Seeing Snowy's story come full circle makes this gift even more meaningful. 💛

The hard work, dedication, and kindness shown by these students will help provide food, medical care, and second chances for the cats and kittens who rely on us every day.

Thank you, Nose Creek Elementary School, for proving that small acts can make a very big difference. Your compassion is helping save lives, and we are truly grateful. 🐱✨

New Intakes
These 2 cuties were found in the Kingsview area of Airdrie.

At the time they were found, neither kittens have a microchip or tattoo.
They have not been spayed or neutered, and both appear to be approximately 10 weeks old.

The male is solid black in colour.
The female is black with some white markings

If you believe these are your kittens please call 403-946-0400 ext 6.
Proof of ownership is required.

Friendly Reminder: Any cats not claimed within 3 days (10 days if they have a microchip or tattoo) will become part the Tails To Tell family and may be getting ready for their forever homes.
