Catalina Cats Mission: A village comes together to help cats

You might think small things can’t make a big difference, but it’s been our experience at FixNation that small actions are often the beginning of huge change for animals. Our Catalina Cats Mission is no exception. It all started with a Facebook post. That’s right, something as little and commonplace as a social media post got the ball rolling. A kind, feline-loving, Good Samaritan named Alicia posted a message about wanting to help cats on the California island of Catalina. She had been visiting there when she learned about its large feral population, and the few people willing to help [...]

Featured Volunteer: Heather Smith

With five rescues of her own plus a colony of friendly ferals to care for, it’s clear that Heather Smith has a genuine passion for homeless cats. Her friends even refer to the street she lives on as “Black Cat Lane” due to several feral kitties who have happily made a home there. Heather was introduced to FixNation and TNR back in 2014, when she and a neighbor trapped three cats living in her back garden. “We followed the detailed FixNation instructions to the letter, and within five minutes of setting out the traps we had the mama cat in [...]

Shiloh: Light at the end of the tunnel

Maggie P. had a rough couple of years – death, crises, and a painful breakup. She moved into her own place in the Valley and left her cats with her ex while they tried to figure out what to do about their beloved pets. But then the unthinkable happened. Shilo, their "number one son,” bolted out the front door. He’d done that a few times in the past, stay out for a night, and then come home slinking back the next morning for breakfast. They’d punish him with kisses and promise to watch the door more closely. But this time [...]

Featured Volunteer: Kim Reed

Kim Reed is a TNR superhero. She is responsible for saving these kittens during one of the recent TNR Project trapping nights coordinated by our amazing FixNation friend, Joe Federico. These seven kittens were plucked out of a junkyard in Irwindale. There had been several SOS calls from the facility, as it is unfortunately a dumping ground for many animals. With the help of people who had been rescuing and pulling dogs from this site for years now, feeding stations were set up to get a tally on how many cats were at the facility as well as a regular routine [...]

The Story of Beans, Blanket, and Barney

It all begins with a pregnant community cat who chose what she thought was a safe spot to give birth to her kittens – a large storm drain on an MTA parking lot! The problem would soon be clear: how could she possibly get these kittens out of this 4 foot deep box, especially with an impending rain forecasted for LA? Enter an extraordinary CATS Inc. foster and trapper who heard about these kittens, and with a little help was able to remove the manhole cover. She descended into the sewer system herself to catch these babies. Dirty, covered with [...]

Meow, A Real Superhero

You might find this story hard to believe. You might read it and wonder how it can possibly be true that this kind of hero exists, and wonder how the whole world doesn’t know about her yet. We hope to change that just a little by sharing her greatness with our small enclave, and hopefully by inspiring others to become heroes, too. Meet Meow. No, that’s not her real name but that’s what she goes by. Also meet her daughter, who’s nickname is Kitty. About twenty years ago, Kitty told her mom, a single mother, that she had a special [...]
