Volunteer Allie Johnson Launches a Trap Cover Project

Allie Johnson lives in North Hollywood, by way of Texas and Colorado, but she says Los Angeles was immediately her “heart’s home.”  Allie has been doing cat rescue for more than 50 years but only learned about Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) in the last two years ago.  So she was thrilled to learn about FixNation’s services when she received a flyer during community canvassing in North Hollywood at the end of 2013.  She immediately signed up to take the free trap-training course provided by FixNation to learn how to catch and care for the colony of 8 community cats she was nurturing.

A message from Karn and Mark

Message from Karn and Mark, the founders and leaders of FixNation: As the end of 2013 approaches, we are in awe of just how many humane, caring individuals have contributed to the success of FixNation since we launched operations in 2007.

Lemonade Stand Benefiting FixNation held by FixNation’s Youngest Supporter Yet!

On May 11th, our client Mark Miller came into the clinic with his granddaughter Mikayla to make a donation.  This donation was something special - Mikayla had put together a lemonade stand to raise money for the kitties serviced by FixNation.

In Mikayla’s own words - “I helped my papa Mark feed the cats by his work, he told me Karn at FixNation helped fix the cats so there would not be more homeless cats. [...]

JUST DO IT! By Gail Colby, Community Cat Caretaker

Hi, my name is Gail Colby. I used to work on a dead-end street in a commercial district in Van Nuys, next to a large TV studio, surrounded by a residential area. At first, I started seeing cats in the parking lot, mostly sick and dying. I decided that I could do something to help them, even if it was to just prevent starvation. I started to put food out whenever I saw a cat. Initially, I got some resistance from people I worked with, so I started to feed the cats in a corner where no one would see [...]
