FOOD DRIVE UPDATE!
AMAZON WISH LIST FIXED!

06/22/2024

Tip Me Frederick's donations are drastically down from this time last year. We are in desperate need of food donations for some large colonies and to help several of our caretakers in Brunswick. The need is great, and as always, we are grateful to you—we can't continue our lifesaving work without your donations. It's just that simple! Thank you!

We have to move 22 barn cats from their farm as it was sold, and the new owners do not want cats. Please if you can take a couple....(or 5), let us know asap. We will update vaccines and snap test. We can help with rehoming protocol. Will consider transporting.

06/18/2024

Thanks to Tip Me Frederick these cats will not be adding to the population after today! They are from Smithsburg, Boonsboro and Sharpsburg. I am glad to know they will have a healthier life now.

06/17/2024

It's HOT! Remember to provide plenty of H2O if you feed!

06/17/2024

We can't agree more. You gotta have a plan. You're not helping the cat at all if you trap without a plan!

06/15/2024

We are in need of hard sided cat carriers. Any size. We use them for fosters, and they usually go with the cat when adopted. Please be sure they are in working order. Thank you in advance!

06/14/2024

Tip Me Frederick has more cats to fix than Carter's has little pills! Can you help us? Our friend, Elizabeth Heath Slade, made these beautiful bookmarks for us, and we'd like to share them with you for a $50 donation!

As always, we are grateful.

Happy $5 Friday!!

While today's ask is not very glamorous, it's a necessity. TMF is in need of XXL P*e Pads, both disposable and washable. Even though the washable pads are more expensive, they're a great investment in the long run.

Please considering contributing to our fundraiser, any dollar counts! Last $5 Friday, you blew us away and we were able to exceed our goal and have enough funds to purchase an extra trap.

If you'd like to donate, but not via this fundraiser, you can also contribute via the PayPal and Venmo (QR codes in photo or links below):

Thank you, Doris Molina, for helping clean kitty traps today!

06/03/2024

Babs and Angela returned 24 cats to a horse rescue and farm this morning. We've already done about 20 cats there, and there are probably 15 more to do, with seven known litter of kittens. It's a good thing we bought food and water for them. This is how one or two cats turn into fifty or sixty . . .

We also grabbed three kittens that needed help. They're named after Star Trek! The cow-cat kitten is Tribble, and the other two are Kirk and Spock. If one of them is a female, she can be Uhura. They have appointments with Doc later today.

06/02/2024

25 more cats at Rocky's trapped. We feed and house them for 2 nights. We use disposable p*e pads to keep them clean. We will drive them to and from the clinic and to and from their home. Please donate to help us do all our work. Any amount helps.

URGENT! EMERGENCY FERAL FUNDRAISER

***CAT IS SEDATED***

This week we trapped two kitties from a home in Thurmont. Both had injuries - little Banana's front paw was infected, and poor Tigger had no bounce because he couldn't put any weight on his right back leg!

We took them both to Doc today. Banana is fine and went home. Unfortunately, Tigger's injury was more severe. Doc thinks it's possible that he got his foot caught in something because of the indentation (see red circle).

Tigger's foot was soaked in an antibiotic scrub, and he had a slight fever. He came home with pain medication (Gabapentin), an anti-inflammatory (Onsior), and an antibiotic (Clavamox). He will be at Angela's home for ten days and will be rechecked before release.

Can you help us with these bills? They total $454.02.

Let's give Tigger his bounce back!

Remember this little kitty? Babs named her (yes - a female orange) BANANA, and she went home today! She was kept a bit longer to have her paw examined!

Spring Cleaning?

What better incentive than being able to save animals with the extra stuff you don't need any longer! Our friends at Fetch Thrift Shop (a 501c3 nonprofit) have donated to over 23 rescues in the Frederick area and beyond. You know your donations are making a difference (not lining the pockets of some corporate guy!)

Their accessible donation dock is located at the rear of their building. When donating, ask yourself: would I buy this in this condition? Is it free from stains and smells, fully functional, and not broken? If you're unsure, you can check out their website at fetchthrift.com.

Did I mention you can visit them and PET KITTENS and ADOPTABLE CATS?? Yes, you can!

Fetch is located at 1818 Rosemont Avenue in Frederick.

They can't share! Good thing Tip Me Frederick had more than one.

I goofed the first share from Tiplings. Let’s see if this works. Courtney will be attending HR training on boundaries.

We pulled four cats from Animal Control and TNR'd 27 cats this week!

This adorable grey tabby is living for the moment outside, but so wants to be an indoor cat. If anyone has room in your heart and home for this boy, please contact Jacob Lee at 301-331-9078. He has been neutered and vaccinated so is ready today!

Amaya, a kitten with a spinal cord injury, and her journey so far.

We have had some kittens and cats come to us recently with serious injuries that require costly medical care. I made a video about Amaya, one of them. Donations are appreciated, but people who share, like, and comment to help get the word out are important too, so please support in whatever way you can.

Our Story

Our story starts outside with a mamma cat and 3 tiny kittens. It was late summer and we wondered how they’d make it through the winter. Before long, mamma died by putting her head in a jar to find food. It was a tragic and heartbreaking fate as she couldn’t get out and she couldn’t get air. We were left with 3 babies to feed and get through the winter.

Having 4 indoor kitties already, and FeLV in the house, we had to leave these babies outside. So feeding began. Once there was regular food, we noticed a few more cats coming around to eat.....and breed. By the following winter we had 30 cats to feed. I knew it was time to do something. I started looking for affordable vet services.

As many of you know, there is not much available in our county. However, I did find QuickFix through the Frederick County Humane Society and some low cost options through Animal Welfare League of Frederick County. Even though I found discounted services, I still needed to find the money to pay them, and 30 cats was thousands of dollars. I asked all my friends and family and was able to get my 30 cats neutered several months later.

Tip Me Frederick grew out of this experience because people need a truly low cost, or free, program to get these outdoor cats altered. They breed exceptionally fast, and are very resourceful. They are unowned, and many people have their own pets to care for, so these community kitties take a back seat. Left to their own devices, they will keep breeding till the area is saturated with cats. Then resources are used up and these cats suffer from hunger and illness.
