    About Us: 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.
