Mission

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 TO PREVENT THE EXCESS OF KITTENS BORN EACH YEAR. HUMANE TNR IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO SOLVING CAT OVERPOPULATION IN OUR SOCIETY AND IMPROVING EACH CAT'S QUALITY OF LIFE.

Program accomplishments

  • FOSTER PROGRAM: ORPHANED/INJURED/SICK KITTENS FOUND AT COLONIES WHERE TIPPEDEARS IS ACTIVELY TRAPPING ARE ENROLLED IN THE FOSTER PROGRAM, SPACE ALLOWING. KITTENS ARE PLACED IN THE CARE OF FOSTER FAMILIES (VOLUNTEERS) UNTIL READY FOR ADOPTION (2 FVRCP VACCINES, MICROCHIP,SPAYED/NEUTERED). KITTENS ARE THEN ADOPTED OUT TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH AN ADOPTION PROCESS.
    Expenses $172,051 · revenue $24,989
  • TNR PROGRAM: CATS ARE HUMANELY TRAPPED, STERILIZED AND RELEASED BACK INTO THEIR OUTDOOR COLONIES. SICK OR INJURED CATS ARE TREATED AND HELD UNTIL RECOVERED, THEN RELEASED. THIS PREVENTS CAT OVERPOPULATION AND LOWERS THE AMOUNT OF UNSOCIALIZED CATS SURRENDERED TO THE SHELTERS AND SUBSEQUENTLY EUTHANIZED AS NON-ADOPTABLE.
    Expenses $18,971
  • COMMUNITY WELLNESS PROGRAM: RESIDENTS OF COMPTON (CA) WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN SEVERAL WELLNESS EVENTS HELD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR BY TIPPEDEARS, SOMETIMES IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER FUNDING PARTNERS.
