Friends and Partners of Feral Fixers
Feral Fixers could not do the work it does without the active support of other groups and individuals. We'd like to mention some of them here:
PURRS Naperville. PURRS is; "...a no kill cat rescue, adoption and education resource. We are based in Naperville,Il and have our cats in foster homes, Petcos and Petsmarts...". PURRS has been of tremendous assistance in finding homes for friendly kittens and cats that Feral Fixers runs into all too often while trapping feral cats. In addition they have also donated food to Feral Fixer colony caretakers and are looking to begin running clinics and fundraisers (among other ideas) to help out the TNR effort. They do really good work - please visit their website.
Triple R Pets. This group (Relief - Rescue - Rebuild) is; "...a grass roots effort of volunteers from across the country coming together to provide support for animals during crisis situations. The group was formed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, when there was a need for ongoing support in the communities of Coastal Mississippi...". They have 'branched' out into practicing TNR and now have an agreement signed with the Village of LaGrange to provide their TNR services to them. We work closely with Triple R Pets, helping each other out when necessary. They are a great group - check out their website.
And of course, we have to mention PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving), the low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Chicago where Feral Fixers brings its cats to be examined, fixed, tested, vaccinated, ear-tipped and micro-chipped. We literally could not do what we do without this organization. Their (very) low cost feral cat package allows us to offer our services to everyone and their willingness to be flexible with us when we bring in an unexpectedly large 'haul' of cats allows us to be aggressive in our trapping. In addition to providing low-cost spay/neuter services, they are Chicago's largest no-kill humane organization and they also donate food to our colony caretakers. They provide a wealth of services, all of which are detailed on their website.
To these Friends and Partners, and all our other volunteers and, especially to our caretakers, Feral Fixers says "Thank you"!
