Dear FixNation Friend,
Homeless cats need your help! You may be wondering why your support is so urgently needed at this time. It’s simple: You can help end the suffering.
Right now, there are more than a million homeless cats and kittens living in Los Angeles, and 40,000 cats are killed in our city and county shelters each year.
FixNation is a nonprofit organization that fixes homeless cats as part of a Trap-Neuter-Return program or “TNR” for short. TNR means cats are fixed so they cannot breed and are then returned to live …

Do you have feral cats in your neighborhood that you would like to get fixed? Do you have a friendly stray cat that is hanging around who you are concerned about? Have you noticed litters of kittens springing up left and right? Or are you just simply a responsible pet owner and would like to get your cat spayed or neutered? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, then we can help you.
 
FixNation is a non-profit organization providing free spay/neuter services for homeless stray and feral cats. We …

FixNation and Valley Vet Non Profit (VVNP) are teaming up this summer to bring you even more days when you can get your feral cats fixed for free.
Starting in August and going through December 2010, VVNP will be open on the 2nd Monday of every month for a day dedicated to fixing feral cats. This is an extra day above and beyond when VVNP is normally open, as a way to expand how many feral cats are being fixed within our community each month. VVNP will fix up to 50 feral …

FixNation wants you to know about an important development in Los Angeles concerning TNR. Last month a local judge issued a ruling in response to a lawsuit filed against the City of LA by wild bird groups, ordering that the City of Los Angeles is suspended in supporting and promoting Trap-Neuter-Return as a means to help homeless cats.

TNR is a community-based, humane approach to controlling homeless cat overpopulation. It involves concerned citizens humanely trapping feral cats, getting them spayed and neutered (at clinics like FixNation), and then returning them to …

Humane Trapping Instructions
Key highlights to remember:

Never leave a trap out unattended overnight or for any length of time, whatsoever, for any reason.
Do not trap cats after midnight the night before your appointment; tame strays need to be taken in off the streets before midnight. This is due to the fact that if the cat eats after midnight, they will likely vomit while undergoing anesthesia and …
