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.
