Team Kitten

Congrats to Patterson Gives Back recipient ๐Ÿ‘‰ Team Kitten!๐Ÿฅณ Their mission is to rescue and rehabilitate at-risk kittens and prepare them for loving homes. ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿฅฐ

About

Team Kitten is working to create a community where all kittens are considered precious. Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate at-risk kittens, and prepare them for loving homes.

Team Kitten is a 100% volunteer-run organization, licensed by the state of Kansas and recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 charity. It was founded by a group of women dedicated to improving the lives of cats and kittens in their community.?Years of experience in trap-neuter-return (TNR) and colony management enabled us to carefully construct an organization that we truly believe can make a difference in our local community. Each kitten brought into one of our foster homes receives full medical care, and love, before being spayed or neutered. That is one fewer future litter we prevent by addressing the crisis in the beginning of the cycle. While there is no one fix to such a large problem, Team Kitten stands proudly amongst other local organizations in the fight against cat overpopulation.
