Blessing of the Animals in Los Angeles

For the second year in a row, we had the pleasure of joining the annual Blessing of the Animals ceremony at Olvera Street / La Placita in Downtown Los Angeles. Following tradition, the event landed on the Saturday preceding Easter Sunday. Set up alongside SNP LA and Kitty Bungalow, our booth was never empty! We had visitors from all over Los Angeles County stopping by to learn about what FixNation is all about. Every kitty at the festival stopped by to say hi and we were even able to sign up some of these kitties for spay/neuter appointments! There were [...]

FixNation on the small screen with Pets.TV

Early this year, FixNation was approached by Pets.TV and asked to be featured for a 30-minute episode dedicated to feral cats! Pets.TV is described as "a celebration of pets and the people who love them; a destination for news, information, practical tips and more — everything you need to know about living with and caring for your animal friends." And so, of course, we were thrilled to oblige! Early in February the ever-professional and lively Pets.TV team began to capture FixNation and our dedicated caregivers in action. After two outings "in the field" and a day in the clinic, the [...]

Reaching community kids!

Often we're all so focused on working with community cats, we forget the importance of reaching community members, with information on feral cats. FixNation has outreach programs specifically for public education and on April 12th, 2012, we were focused on community kids! It was a beautiful spring day in L.A. as Dali Colorado and Liz Cava from FixNation traveled to Long Beach to speak to 24 very bright and energetic young children attending a week long humane education camp at the Los Angeles SPCA Humane Education Camp, at the P.D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village & Education Center. Although we can’t [...]

A cat, dog, pig, and a llama walk into…

by Dali Colorado On Saturday, April 7th, FixNation had the opportunity to join the annual Blessing of the Animals ceremony at Olvera Street / La Placita in Downtown Los Angeles. The ceremony is held annually, typically on Easter Sunday but also the Saturday prior, and has been a tradition since 1930. On this beautiful and sunny Saturday, over 2000 people crowded the streets surrounding the Church and Plaza at Olvera Street to celebrate their animals and get them blessed by Cardinal Roger Mahony. This blessing, some believe, will bring their animal’s good health throughout the year. Prior to the Blessing [...]
