Home - Team Tripod

Team Tripod is a three legged cat rescue and advocacy group. Our goal is for every tripod cat to have a happy and loving home. We have multiple programs and resources available to support this goal, whether you’re a pet parent whose cat faces amputation surgery or an animal shelter seeking assistance with marketing your tripod cats for adoption.

Trap-Neuter-Return

Many tripod cats become that way due to injuries when they free roam outside, especially in urban areas that have lots of car traffic. We help with trap-neuter-return efforts to reduce the risk of injuries in community cats and assist injured and abandoned cats in feral colonies.

Amputee Cat Advocacy

Cats are amazingly adaptable, and nothing shows that better than three legged cats. Most tripod cats live happy and healthy lives with normal lifespans and no special accommodations, but not everyone knows this. We seek to raise awareness of this extra special cat demographic.

Funding Feline Amputation Surgery

Cat amputation surgery is a sudden and unexpected expense for many pet parents, ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars. We want to make this life-saving procedure accessible to every cat who needs it through financial assistance.

A Home for Every Tripod

Special needs cats often get overlooked at animal shelters and cat rescues, especially if they’re older. We’re committed to helping every tripod cat find or stay in their forever home.

Creating Tripod Cat Products

We want to put together welcome baskets for three legged cats, filled with toys and feline enrichment options designed for tripod cats. The profits from these items will help fund Team Tripod’s advocacy and rescue efforts.

Creating Tripod Cat Resources

We’re working on expanding our Post-surgery/Adopter’s guide, along with developing a range of other resources to help you support your three legged cats at all stages of their lives and bring more awareness to the public about these wonderful kitties.

Completing the Team Tripod Website

Our website is currently under construction and we hope to get it finished by Spring 2021.
