FixNation

🐾 FixNation programs have spayed and neutered 280,000 cats over the past quarter of a century…and we’re not done yet!

🥰 The compassionate mission that drives our pioneering nonprofit remains unchanged, but after 25 years at the helm, our co-founder & executive director Karn Myers is stepping back from the day-to-day operations of running FixNation’s one-of-a-kind spay/neuter clinic. This long-awaited move will finally allow Karn to focus solely on fundraising and developing new partnerships and spay/neuter initiatives on behalf of FixNation.

🐈‍⬛ While FixNation’s iconic location on Clybourn Avenue has closed its doors, the goal now is to expand our impact by awarding grants and mentoring other nonprofits that seek to replicate our mission in their communities. We’re currently providing a substantial amount of funding to the new nonprofit CATC clinic in Burbank with the expectation that they continue delivering our unique program, which prioritizes free spay/neuter services for homeless kitties, including vaccines and flea treatment. We have various other exciting partnerships and initiatives currently in the works…more details coming soon!

❤️ Karn’s greatly missed late husband and co-founder, Mark Dodge, came up with the name FixNation years ago; it was his dream to extend our mission beyond the scope of a single brick-and-mortar clinic and provide services exclusively for community cats. We are working hard to make Mark’s vision a reality by developing a scalable model of our highly successful TNR practices and protocols, which are now considered the “gold standard” at high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter clinics across the nation.

😸 Change isn’t always easy, but we are as devoted as ever to making the world a better and kinder place for the vulnerable free-roaming felines who share our communities with us. We hope to have your continued support as we embark upon FixNation 2.0’s game-changing next chapter!

(If you have any questions about your scheduled spay/neuter appointments, please contact CATC directly at 818.330.3403 or [email protected].)

Community Cat of the Day! This sweet girl has beautiful markings but no name of her own... her trapper lives in Bellflower, so that inspired us to call her Belle.

Baby, it's HOT! Here are some timely tips for keeping kitties cool.

Even though fever in cats is defined as a body temperature of 103 F, environmental temperatures greater than 100 F are considered too hot for cats. In this article, our vet experts advise pet parents on how hot is too hot for cats.

Whoa!!!

⚠️ Cat stowaways onto plane, causing chaos, flight is canceled, and company suffers millions in losses.

A stowaway cat caused disruption to a Ryanair flight about to take off from Rome last week. The incident occurred when crew members heard meowing during pre-flight checks while helping passengers board the plane.

Initial attempts to capture the animal were unsuccessful, causing it to retreat into the aircraft's interior compartments. The crew located the feline in a forward electrical and equipment compartment of the Boeing 737.

Engineers attempted to access the area by removing the front panels of the cargo hold, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The kitten continued to evade capture, moving through the aircraft's interior spaces.

The Boeing 737 was grounded for two days, causing millions in losses for the airline.

"The cat was a stowaway and could have caused major problems at 30,000 feet," said a source overseeing the search.

The attempt to capture it was unsuccessful, but a door was left open, and the feline was spotted cautiously descending the aircraft steps.

Stray cats may not have homes, but they find shelter in the kindness of strangers.

RIP Giorgio Armani, who has died at age 91. Armani was well known for his love of cats and supported campaigns against the abandonment of animals. He shared his home with two Scottish Folds (a black 13-year-old cat called Angel and a younger one called Mairi), and also doted on Charlie, a handsome Persian.
