Kitten Café: A holiday event with Jay & Mavis Leno

2020-03-11T16:39:56-07:00 December 26th, 2014|Happy Tails, News and Events|

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 [...]

You are all amazing. Thanks to you, we raised an unprecedented $13,300 in less than 30 days.

Happy National Feral Cat Day…from Morgan Fairchild!

2020-04-09T10:12:38-07:00 October 16th, 2014|News and Events|

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!

Want to Hear Morgan Fairchild’s FixNation Story?

2014-12-02T06:13:06-08:00 October 4th, 2014|News and Events|

FixNation is honored by Morgan's friendship and support!  Please read her note below... I'd like to tell you a story of the cats in my life, and how FixNation has helped me.  I have two adopted cats that are 10 years old now, but not long ago I noticed a few cats hanging out in my yard.  I assumed they all had homes because I'd seen a couple of them sitting in the windows of neighbors - and they left when night came.  Slowly it dawned on me that one of them might not have a home, and was indeed a feral cat.  [...]

Gimme Shelter: DIY Cat shelters for community cats

2014-12-02T06:13:01-08:00 September 19th, 2014|Caregiver Tips|

Every cat deserves a warm home, a family to love, a bed to sleep in, and toys to destroy. But as we well know, unfortunately, we live in a world where that’s not always possible. You can still help homeless kitties by building a shelter for those who go without. By building a cat colony refuge, you will help keep community cats safe from predators and outdoor elements. When the weather gets unbearably cold, rainy, or hot, your shelter will offer them much-needed reprieve, promote their health, and give them a secure place to go. You will also be able [...]

Emergency Preparedness: Be ready to take your pets with you

2014-12-02T06:12:57-08:00 September 19th, 2014|Caregiver Tips|

We never think it will happen to us. We actually don’t want to think about it at all. But emergency situations pop up in an instant, all the time. It’s important to be prepared, especially when it comes to your animals, due to the unpredictable and unsettling nature of these changes. During unforeseen and unfortunate times, whether it be a natural disaster or a family emergency, preparing ahead can make your life so much easier. Sadly, all too often history has shown that many pets are abandoned, lost, or harmed simply because no one planned for their continued care. Here [...]

A little black cat named Roscoe

2014-09-19T08:49:48-07:00 July 17th, 2014|Happy Tails|

A story from Julio Segovia our Registered Veterinary Technician: I was dropping my daughter, Jaylene, off at daycare. When out of nowhere a friendly black cat approached Jaylene and I. I started petting the little black cat. I walked my daughter into daycare, on the way back to my car the little black cat ran up to me. I opened my car door and he jumped into my car —making himself comfortable! I decided to take him to work with me at FixNation. I knew I could at least scan him for a microchip — in hopes of getting him [...]
