Emilie Beard Foundation for Felines

The Emilie Beard Foundation for Felines (dba EB Feline Rehoming) is a United States-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, sanctuary, and rehoming of cats and kittens. Registered under EIN 471541132, the foundation operates with a focus on ensuring the good health and well-being of felines while placing them into responsible and loving homes.

Mission and Activities

The foundation’s mission centers on rescuing homeless and abandoned cats and kittens, providing them sanctuary, and facilitating their placement into pet-responsible families. A key component of their efforts includes promoting public education on the importance of spaying and neutering to reduce the population of unwanted cats within the community. This educational outreach is aimed at mitigating the challenges posed by overpopulation and supporting the welfare of felines locally.

EB Feline Rehoming also emphasizes direct adoption strategies, encouraging community members to find new homes for pets before resorting to shelter placement. This approach helps share the responsibility of pet ownership and reduces the burden on animal shelters.
