World Spay Day, 2015

Today is World Spay Day, and animal advocates across the country are spreading the word about the urgent need to humanely reduce pet overpopulation.  Over three million healthy cats and dogs are euthanized in U.S. shelters each year - 90% of which are considered adoptable. World Spay Day is an annual campaign to highlight spay/neuter as a mechanism for saving the lives of companion animals, in addition to stray cats and dogs who might otherwise be euthanized.  To help raise awareness of its programs and the importance of spay/neuter, FixNation Co-Founder and Executive Director, Karn Myers, joined with other spay/neuter [...]

Why Microchipping Your Cat Is Important

There’s never a dull moment at a spay/neuter cat clinic. We’ve met the best of people, seen kitties with all sorts of personalities, and have had plenty of surprises along the way. But recently we had the pleasure of being a part of a special situation: We were able to reunite a lost cat with his owner.  When one of our volunteers came across a large colony of cats, she decided to try trapping them to be fixed. She was successful, and brought in fourteen felines to be fixed! (Try saying that ten times in a row.) As it turned [...]

2014 in Review

It’s important to us that you know how we’re doing. You – our friends, our supporters, our fellow cat aficionados – you are the backbone of FixNation.

Kitten Café: A holiday event with Jay & Mavis Leno

The holidays are a special time of year. Families come together, there’s a cheer in the air, and everybody, even Los Angeles drivers, acts kinder. But some people go out of their way to make the holidays even more memorable, and to weave in a good deed at the same time. Jay Leno is one of those generous people, and we have just the story to prove it: He spent his holidays hosting an intimate dinner for close friends and family…and inviting 18 adorable homeless kittens to join him as well. Most of us know Jay’s enormous comedic talent and [...]

Many thanks to our volunteers at the Day of the Dead Festival

Happy National Feral Cat Day…from Morgan Fairchild!

Morgan Fairchild Wishes You a Happy National Feral Cat Day! Enjoy her FixNation story...and consider GIVING ONLINE  Happy National Feral Cat Day!  Have you heard my own feral kitty rescue story?  Earlier this year I (Morgan) found a precious cat sunbathing in my backyard. The cat had no collar and I resolved she must be without a home... But she was gentle and became a pleasant visitor, so I began setting out food in my backyard for her to enjoy.  A few weeks later, I found the cat cozied up against the porch...and snuggled-up close to her belly were newborn kittens!
