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.

01

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).

$172Kprogram expense
02

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.

$19Kprogram expense

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. Services such as vaccine and microchip clinic, as well as a pet pantry, were provided.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
