The UK’s verified adoption platform. Real rescues, structured applications, post-adoption follow-up — not Facebook groups, not Gumtree, not unvetted sellers.
Free for registered UK charities. Get a verified badge and a modern digital home for your animals.
Register your rescueSearch verified listings across the UK. Apply with confidence. Follow up with clarity.
Browse animalsMost UK rescue animals are listed on Facebook groups, outdated shelter websites, and Gumtree alongside commercial sellers. There is no standard. No verification. No process. Just goodwill and manual admin.
Rescues burn out on WhatsApp coordination and spreadsheets. Adopters can't tell which listings are legitimate. Animals that need homes go unseen because the tools don't match the mission.
Hundreds of shelter websites, Facebook groups, and classifieds. No single place for an adopter to search responsibly.
Any account can list animals. Scam listings and unregulated sellers exist alongside legitimate rescues, undermining trust for everyone.
Applications tracked in notebooks. Interviews scheduled over WhatsApp. Follow-up done by memory. Volunteer time wasted on admin instead of welfare.
One platform. Two journeys. One shared outcome.
Submit your charity registration. We review and issue a Verified badge. Free for registered UK charities.
Add profiles with photos, health status, personality notes, and compatibility details. Searchable immediately.
Applications, interviews, home checks, and follow-ups all tracked in one dashboard. No spreadsheets.
Filter by location, species, age, breed, and compatibility. Every listing is from a verified UK rescue or charity.
6-step digital application. Know exactly where you are, what comes next, and why each step exists.
Post-adoption check-ins are built in. The rescue stays reachable. You are never navigating alone.
A modern, searchable listing page. Digital applications. Status tracking. A verified badge that tells adopters you are legitimate. All free for registered UK charities.
For registered UK charities and rescue organisations only.
Every animal on Tails Abode comes from a verified UK rescue or charity. No exceptions.
Every organisation listing animals has been verified as a registered UK charity or rescue. No private commercial listings. No unvetted sellers.
Location radius, species, breed, age, compatibility with children, other pets, and flat-living. Find animals suited to your actual life.
A structured, transparent flow: enquiry, application, interview, home check, trial, finalisation. You always know what comes next.
Check-in reminders, access to the rescue, and a digital record of your adoption history. The relationship doesn't end on collection day.
Search across all of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Location-based radius filtering so you can find animals within a realistic distance.
Browsing, searching, and applying is completely free for adopters. No subscription. No hidden fees. The platform is funded by partner organisations, not by you.
Not built to maximise listings. Built to maximise successful, responsible adoptions.
Lucy’s Law (England, 2020) banned pet shop sales of puppies and kittens. Tails Abode takes that intent further — no unverified commercial listings, no third-party dealers, no loopholes. Verification is a platform requirement, not a badge of honour.
A browser companion for children aged 6–12. Your child looks after a rescued virtual cat over seven days — feeding, playing, cleaning — while a parental dashboard quietly tracks whether the care is real, consistent, and kind.
When the week ends, you get a private readiness report — so you know if your child is ready for a real rescue before you commit.
Chrome, Edge & Brave · No child account required · UK GDPR & Age–Appropriate Design Code compliant
Day 6 of 7 · Cat: Hazel · Last session 17:42
Children play without signing up. Data stays on the device. Parents opt in to sync the dashboard — never the other way round.
Built against the ICO Age–Appropriate Design Code. No behavioural advertising, no dark patterns, no data resale — ever.
Teacher mode for up to 30 pupils. Lesson plans mapped to the PSHE curriculum — animal welfare, empathy, responsibility.
