People Working Together to Help Felines

Who We Are

CHUFF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. But we are more than that. We are a team working to help wild cat species both in captivity through improved enrichment and in the wild through scientific research.


We are partnered with New England's largest zoo, Southwick's Zoo, and their associated nonprofit, EARTH ltd. We are continuously forging partnerships with those who can bring our vision closer to reality.

Values, Vision & Mission

Mission

Our mission is to bring people and resources together for improved animal husbandry, conservation, science, and education in order to help all felines.


Through improved animal husbandry we enrich the lives of cats in captivity. Through conservation we defensively protect and offensively strengthen cats and their populations in the wild. Through science we increase the breadth and depth of humankind's knowledge to find more and better ways to help cats. Through education we raise the next generation of those who will continue our work.

Vision

Our vision is the only future of life on Earth that can possibly exist long term. We see humans living in balance — both statically and dynamically — with the entire Earth ecosystem of organisms and their environment.

Values

Our entity is composed of people who share these values:

  1. We value our planet, Earth, because it is the only one known to humankind to support life and the habitat for all known lifeforms. We protect all aspects of Earth's environment: the ground, the water, and the atmosphere.
  2. Sustainability of human activity is crucial to ensure the survival of our species and other species with which we cohabitate on Earth. We reduce our impact however, wherever, and whenever we can by reducing consumption, using sustainable and renewable materials, and using sustainable practices and methods.
  3. Through unity the whole is more valuable than the sum of its parts. Humankind should live in unity with other organisms because we all rely upon one another for survival. People should seek to unite with other people and groups to work together in ways that are not possible separately.
  4. We love animals and specifically we love all members of the Felidae taxonomic family. We serve cats because they do not understand the human system of economics and cannot navigate it by themselves. We understand their need for protection from the externalities and unilateral externalization of cost of the human economic system.
