Our Story

If only we were cats!

It started with a litter of rescue kittens

It was the summer of 2015, and a litter of kittens were in need of rescue following a brutal Florida storm. My parents, being the pet-lovers that they are, took the needy kittens in. I returned home from my summer semester at college to find these little fur balls running around.

There were plenty of toys for them to play with, yet none seemed to pique their interest. I looked around, saw a bouncy ball lying on the floor, and thought: why isn't there a bouncy ball for cats?

At that moment, I knew I had to give the idea a shot. I snatched a feather off some random toy and strapped it to the ball. Once I began bouncing it, the kittens started going crazy, swatting, chasing, and flinging the first ever Bouncy Tail around the room. That was the start of our Bouncy Tails adventure. From there, I asked my long-time friends Ray Lian and Andrew Roche to join me in the quest.

Why cats can't leave them alone

Indoor cats are hunters too. Bouncy Tails ignites those instincts, the reflexes, and all that built-up energy, and gives them something worth chasing.

Every one is a real rubber bouncy ball with clean, natural feathers. The flutter, the skitter, the wildly unpredictable bounce, that's the fun part. It's an interactive play toy made for you and your fur friend to enjoy together, so keep playtime supervised and leave the chewing to the treats.

We give back to the pets who started it

Bouncy Tails, Inc. encourages playtime between pets and their families while contributing to the pet community. From the very beginning, we felt it was only right to channel our success back to the rescue pets who inspired it, so we donate a portion of our profits to animal shelters and foundations throughout the year.

We're the original bouncy cat toy, loved by a whole lot of cats, and it gives that love right back.

Beyond our own customers, Bouncy Tails are stocked by independent pet stores, cat cafes, groomers, and vets around the country, and you can also find us through online retailers like Amazon and Etsy. These are people who see hundreds of cats a week and know what actually holds a cat's attention.
