I have been taking care of a colony in North Hollywood for about 5 years. But, a family of b&w’s pushed out the other neighborhood cats and seemed to claim me as their own around 2012. No other cats dared come around. I learned about TNR’ing at that point because my landlord insisted I get them all fixed if I was to continue [...]

Here is her story, written by Larry Taylor: It was a pathetic little thing. A tiny, filthy creature, mostly bones and matted orange-and-white fur and not a lot of that. Half of its face was covered with mange, and fleas ran wild. Its stomach, bloated with worms and parasites, ballooned out from the fragile skeleton. The insides of its ears, made comically [...]

Congratulations to Sallie Higgins who won a free outdoor shelter for their colony cats and a bottle of Feral Flower Essence from FixNation board member Jackson Galaxy's Spirit Essences line through FixNation’s National Feral Cat Day story competition! When I first moved into my house in South Hollywood it had been vacant for 10 months. I soon discovered that not only had my fixer been home to the homeless but when I took possession it was still home to a dozen rapidly multiplying feral cats that had taken residence in the crawl space beneath the house. It didn’t take long to [...]
