Feral cats – Step 1) Complete an application

Feral cats are outdoor, free-roaming cats who are not socialized to humans. They are generally wild and unhandleable. Whether you have just one or two cats or kittens who showed up in your yard, or if you are dealing with a feral cat colony of many, you will need to complete our feral cat application form. For more clarification on the differences between feral, stray and tame cats, see the FAQ section of our website.

Feral cats will need to come to our clinic in humane cat traps, which we can loan to you under our free trap loan program. The reason we require humane cat traps is so we can anesthetize the cat through the trap. Since feral cats are not handleable, this makes it safer for both the cat as well as our vet tech.

For feral cats, both an initial application and spay/neuter reservations are required.

After you’ve completed the application, please email it back to us at info@fixnation.org or fax it to 818.767.7791. You can also mail it in to 7680 Clybourn Ave., LA, CA, 91352.

Once we receive your application, someone from our team will call or email you back in approximately 72 hours. We will talk to you about your specific situation, answer any questions you may have, schedule time for you to come in and pick up humane traps and get trained (if need be), and get you scheduled for spay/neuter reservations.

All applications are accepted provided that you agree to follow our clinic protocols. Our protocols are covered in the following documents, which you will need to thoroughly read and agree to follow to be eligible to come to our clinic:

  • Humane Trapping Instructions
  • Clinic Check-In and Pick-Up
  • Pre- and Post-Surgery Care
  • Safe Housing and Transporting

If you are helping a friend or family member who does not have access to the Internet, an application packet can be mailed out to them. Please call 818.524.2287 x 2 and leave the person’s name, address, phone number and that you need a feral cat application sent out. A packet will be mailed out to them.
