Mission Statement
TippedEars is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose purpose is to combat cat overpopulation through humane TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). By reducing the overall cat population, fewer cats will need to be euthanized in shelters for space, and there will not be as many kittens dying on the streets. There are not enough adoptive homes to support the growing cat population. In order to solve this problem, TippedEars believes it is essential to fight the root of the problem - prevent the excess of kittens born each year. Humane TNR is the most effective solution to solving cat overpopulation in our society and improve each cats' quality of life. While in our care, community cats will be sterilized, vaccinated, microchipped, and flea treated.
Description
TippedEars is rooted in the belief that we all have a responsibility to be part of the solution for cat overpopulation. We decided to focus on community cats since they are key to stopping the never ending cycle of kittens being born and dying in the streets and shelters. Our Board Members have a passion for cats and are willing to do what it takes to help the most felines possible. Our team has a background in kitten rescue, but our outdoor friends are just as important! While working in kitten rescue, our Founders realized there are not enough homes for the amount of cats being born on the street. Our goal is to prevent kittens from being born in order to keep shelter euthanasia rates down and reduce the stress put on local rescues. By working as a team with our community, we can make a difference in all cats' lives.
