Do you have a friendly stray cat that you are concerned about? Have you noticed litters of kittens springing up left and right? Or are you a responsible pet owner and would like to get your cat spayed or neutered? (Or maybe you want to, but you can’t really afford to?)

FixNation is a non-profit organization providing free spay/neuter services for homeless, stray and feral cats, as well as reduced rate spay/neuter services for tame cats. Our goal is to humanely reduce the number of homeless cats throughout Los Angeles by sterilizing as many as possible. We focus on providing these free spay/neuter services for “managed colonies”, which means food, water and shelter is provided to these cats on a daily basis.

Homeless, Stray & Feral Cats

FixNation offers free spay/neuter services for homeless, stray and feral cats. Under our free feral program, all homeless cats who will be eartipped for identification purposes will receive the following free services at the time they are here for surgery:

  • Spay/neuter surgery
  • Physical exam
  • Rabies vaccine
  • FVRCP vaccine (feline distemper combo vaccine)
  • Revolution (for fleas, earmites, mange, hookworms, roundworms and a heartworm protection all for 30 days)
  • Pain medication
  • Fluids
  • Antibiotic
  • Droncit injection (for tapeworms), as needed
  • Limited medical treatment
  • Ear-tip
  • Lots of TLC!

The eartip is the universal symbol that an outdoor or free-roaming cat has been fixed. It is done while the cat is under anesthesia, is relatively painless for the cat and does not significantly alter their beauty. We also apply a bit of pain medication paste to the eartip to make it even more comfortable for the cat.

Since we have only one opportunity with the feral cats, we choose to provide all that we can while they’re here for surgery.

We can do small eartips for any stray cats or kittens who you may be trying to adopt out.

Tame Companion Cats

FixNation offers, on a limited basis, reduced rate spay/neuter services for tame, companion cats who are not being eartipped. The cost of a female/spay is $55 and a male/neuter is $40 (rates effective as of 1/1/10). Vaccines are $8 each and Revolution is $15.

We do accept L.A. city coupons towards the cost of the spay or neuter.

Additional Services

We also offer the following services for an additional charge while cats are here for spay/neuter surgery:

  • Microchipping – $25
  • Feline Leukemia/FIV combo testing – $20 for ferals, $25 for tames
  • Nail trims (tame cats only) – $5

Please be aware that our vaccine, testing and microchipping services are only provided at the time the cat is here for spay/neuter service. Since our main mission is to humanely reduce the number of homeless, stray and feral cats in Los Angeles, this is where we concentrate our time and attention.

You do not need to live in the city of Los Angeles in order to bring cats to our clinic. We service cats from any area, provided the cats can be safely transported to and from our clinic.

All proceeds from these clinics go to benefit FixNation, helping to offset the costs of free spay/neuter for homeless stray and feral cats. It’s a great way for us to bring low-cost, accessible services to you and your animals, while simultaneously raising money to help our non-profit.

Our vaccine clinics are held the first Saturday of every month (with July and September being the 3rd Saturday, due to holidays). Hours are from 9 am – 12 noon.

Walk-in’s welcome, no appointment necessary. Cash only!

Dogs need to be on leashes at all times. Cats need to come in sturdy carriers. Feral cats can be brought in for vaccines only (no microchips or testing) and must come in humane traps fully covered.

The services we are offering are:

CATS:

  • Distemper combo vaccine (FVRCP or 4-in-1) = $8
  • Rabies vaccine = $12
  • AVID Microchip = $25
  • FeLV/FIV Snap tests = $30
  • Leukemia vaccine = $20

DOGS:

  • Distemper combo vaccine (DH2PPV) = $8
  • Rabies vaccine = $12
  • AVID Microchip = $25
  • Bordatella vaccine = $12
  • Heartworm test = $20
