Black Cat Giving Tuesday
Feral Fixers’ Black Cat Giving Tuesday Fundraiser drops tonight at midnight! We participate in Giving Tuesday differently than other non-profits – our campaign continues until midnight of 12/31/24, so you have almost a month to participate – but keep in mind that your donation encourages others to do so as well so please don’t wait until the last moment! We also have pledged matching funds of $25,000! Of course, costs are rising, and currently spay/neuter packages are over $100/cat. Can you imagine funding the spay/neuter of almost 500 cats with just one fundraiser? We focus on publicity for our black cats at this time of year, please take a look at some of our wonderful representatives! Please share your photos and stories, join in and help us raise funds for the coming year!

December Already!
This is the time of year when we work very hard on adoptions and fundraising. We are hoping that changes in veterinary resources in the area will help us TNR more at the beginning of the year and avoid the end of the year pressure in 2025. Think about becoming one of our trappers, keep an eye on new cat arrivals to your neighborhood, and pay attention to when the overnight temperatures are consistently above freezing again.
11/21 – DCAS – 2 friendlies, 1 feral, all 3 males. We were told that all 3 of these boys were “kittens.” Not so much as 8 – 10 months is not a kitten to us. One went back to his caretaker, his brother started purring in his trap as soon as he looked me in the eye (transferred to Cat Guardians) and the third went back to his people as they decided to try him inside – could not give him up.
Total: November - 49, to date - 834, since 2007 - 15,714.
