About: I'm 32 years old, born and raised in Los Angeles. I love to learn, and have been service oriented since my Boys Scout days.  I currently live in Shadow Hills, CA (part of Sunland) in a community full of horses. How many cats do you own? I currently own two cats - Rocky (who looks like a Siamese) and Sammy (who looks like a Russian blue). I'd actually say that they own me - they're just nice enough to let me sleep under the same roof sometimes. I also get to spend time with my girlfriend's two lovely cats Skittles [...]

At FixNation, our phone is always ringing. It’s a sound we love to hear because it means people care, that cats will be taken care of. One particular call came in about a house that had a momma cat and four kittens roaming around, all unfixed. The owner of the home had started trapping, but didn't know about FixNation. Instead, he was taking the family to the shelter. After the neighbors talked to him, he reached out to us and let us work with him on the problem. It wasn’t just one family; turns out there were many cats around the neighborhood, [...]

by Joe Federico It has long been our practice at FixNation to lend traps and teach people how to use them safely.  Appointments are made to bring in trapped cats for free spay/neuter, vaccines, and medical treatment. But every once in a while there is a case that needs a little more support. A call came in from an 84-year-old woman who lives in the town of Bell Gardens, California. Her 101-year-old mother (that’s right, she’s 101 years old!) had been taking care of a few roaming cats on her property. As it unfortunately happens all too often, those few [...]

Congratulations to Krista Lopez 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! My story isn't particularly funny or extraordinary. I've always loved animals. My relationship with FixNation started about one year ago, when a momma cat left her two babies in our side yard. I talked to our local animal control but they were only going to put the kittens to sleep. I couldn't let that happen, so I asked around and found out [...]

Congratulations to Alexandra Pereira 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! In July of this year four kittens were born to a cat who took residence in a nook between my house and the neighbors. I discovered these cats one sunny afternoon and fell for them! They were cute and cheerful. They took in the sun as a group, laying out and taking long summer naps. The owner of the place I rent came over [...]

Congratulations to Kimberlie Hamilton 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! I had only a vague idea of what TNR (trap-neuter-return) was until early last year, when a black feral cat named Billie gave birth to kittens in my neighbor Heather’s back garden. We were determined to get the mom cat and her two surviving kittens, Tabitha and Nigel, spayed and neutered as soon as they were old enough. I attended the FixNation training [...]

Congratulations to Kathy Santiago 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! I have had a cat all of my life. The very first cat I found in my garage in my dad’s tool shed. I ran and told my mom that there is a cat in there and is dad gonna get mad? She went to look and much to her surprise it was a female cat and she was pregnant. Every day [...]

Congratulations to Tim Bounthoch 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! I have an orange tabby colony cat name Tiger that roamed in my community and no one cared about him and the other cats.  But one day we met and felt in love at first sight even though he was skinny and kind of ugly (like an ugly duckling! lol) but looks don't count so I slowly tried to get close to him everyday [...]
