As If They Were Our Own

2800+ cats is a big responsibility.  That's how many cats we have s/n and have our microchip in them.  That makes me feel that we are ultimately responsible for them to the best of our ability.

When one is injured, we do our best to get it medical attention.

When one has been adopted thru a caretaker and then surrendered to Animal Control because the adopters are moving to somewhere that doesn't take cats, I feel we have to help this cat find a new home.

When a caretaker does TNR and then "doesn't want the cat around anymore" and takes it to Animal Control, even tho it's a friendly cat and would do well inside, I feel we need to help the cat.

Our fundraiser "As If They Were Our Own" came just in time.  It has done really well and we are tremendously grateful!!!

Lisa, the cat who had her leg removed is now in a very happy home, well loved by her new mom.  Willow, a cat that had an enormous abscess on his paw, is bouncing around his foster home without a care in the world, completely healed.  Beau, the cat who needed the echo, may go to a home that adopted his siblings earlier in the year, in the meantime he is being quite the character in his foster home.

Since these cats, we've had broken legs, broken feet, eye removals, you name it!  But, please don't, we don't want even more to show up!

Your donations make the care of these cats possible and we can't thank you enough!

Feral Fixers was founded in September of 2007. In that abbreviated first year, Feral Fixers had 86 cats spayed / neutered. In 2008, Feral Fixers had 525 cats spayed / neutered and in 2009, Feral Fixers had 868 cats spayed / neutered. In 2010, Feral Fixers had 1,002 cats spayed / neutered!  This year, Feral Fixers has had 358 cats spayed/neutered so far.

This brings us to a total of 2,839 cats. Clicking on the abacus will send you to the Feral Fixers 'Statistics' page where you can see our progress, month-by-month, since we've started work.

 

You can help Feral Fixers by simply shopping at Gordon Food Services (GFS) and mentioning our name during checkout.  If you shop at GFS, when they ask if your purchase is for a business or charity, all you have to do is say Feral Fixers - you don't need a card or anything and a percentage of your purchase goes to FF at the end of the year.  Feral Fixers is on file, they just type it in and that is all you have to do.  Pass the info on to anyone you know who shops there, anyone can help us raise funds in this way with no added expense!
 
GFS has some great and convenient products - check out what they have to offer!
 
It's like a warehouse club without the membership fee and they have similar large packaging and prices.  And if you don't see something in the store, look online and you can order it for pickup at the store, and Feral Fixers still benefits!

Thank you Gordon Food Services!

Feral Fixers continues to be inundated with calls about "I found some kittens - can you take them for me?"  Even though we are not a shelter, we still get these calls.

The situation is simple; there are just too many kittens and it's overwhelming the shelters and the fosters.  It's SO important to 'TNR that mom' BEFORE she has her next litter.  We're now in the position of usually having to ask people who call about this to 'step up' and socialize and foster these kittens on their own.

And, if everyone who is thinking of adopting a kitten or a cat would adopt TWO of them, rather than just one, this could make a significant dent in the problem.  It's better for the cats anyway, to have some companionship when their owner / caretaker is not home.  It's OK to adopt from any shelter, even from Craigslist as this is where many caretakers are trying to place their cats.
