On August 18, Feral Fixers will be participating in the DuPage County Animal Shelter's (DCAS) Clear the Shelter Event at the DCAS Shelter (located at 120 N. County Farm Rd in Wheaton) from 11am-4pm. This event is part of the national "Clear the Shelters" day. NBC will be covering the event at the DCAS grounds.

We will be showing our kittens in their new mobile veterinary van, where some of our kittens have received their surgery. They have 8 medium size cages in the van that can be viewed from both inside and outside the van (there are windows on the outside). We will show our kittens in these cages. There is a canopy outside the van under which we will set up our tables. The premise of "Clear the Shelters" day is to find homes for harder to adopt animals. DCAS has invited a dog and a rabbit rescue to participate as adoption partners in addition to Feral Fixers. We will be featuring 2 adult cats and 12 kittens at the event. We will also have a board and binder with photos and descriptions of all of our available cats & kittens. Adoption fees will be waived for all teenage and adult cats (age 6 months and older). Our standard adoption fees will apply to all kittens (under 6 months) - $90 per kitten, and $150 for a pair. DCAS will also have young kittens available for adoption at these same fees. DCAS estimated about 200 attendees based on last year's turn-out.

Our ground rules for this 8/18 event are - No same day adoptions. All adopters who take home kittens that day must be pre-approved. Anyone who meets a kitten at the event that they would like to adopt must submit a completed application, which you can fill out here and pickup will be scheduled from the foster home if the application is approved. You can see a brochure of some of the kittens we will have available here. We will also be accepting applications for all of our available cats & kittens and will schedule subsequent visits in the foster homes for approved adopters.

General kitten viewing will be from the outside of the van. Only pre-approved adopters and folks submitting completed applications will be allowed in the van to interact with the kittens. You can download an event flyer here. We hope to see you there!
