Could This Happen in Your Town?
Hawaii is criminalizing feral cat caretaking. Currently on the Mayor’s desk, it bans the feeding and care of feral cats.
August Almost Over!
- 8/14 – DCAS – 15 friendlies, 19 ferals, 15 males, 19 females.
- 8/21 – DCAS – 2 friendlies, 13 ferals, 9 males, 6 females. One male feral had a dental, removing 3 really bad teeth – it is really difficult to put cats back out that are in pain!
Total: August 49, year-to-date 516, since 2007 16,250!
Our next trip will include these older kittens and adults that were hanging out in an apartment complex stairwell. Reported to be friendly, there's a total of 9 cats - this is why we have to s/n every feline!
8/14 Trip - 15 friendlies and 19 Ferals!
13 ferals, 2 friendlies, kittens in crates awaiting movement. All those cans of cat food? We recycle.
As Many As Possible As Soon As Possible
Adoption Events - September
- Sunday, 9/7 1–4pm at Feral Fixers. We have so many wonderful cats and kittens. Fill out an adoption application in advance and check out those posted on our website. Adoptions happen all the time, in addition to adoption events, having an application on file can make a difference in finding that feline that is perfect for you!
- Sunday, 9/14 1–4pm at Feral Fixers. Sunday adoption events have been a real hit at Feral Fixers!
- Saturday, 9/27 11-3pm at PetSmart, Finley Square Shopping Center, 1550 Butterfield Rd, Downers Grove. The atmosphere is always upbeat during the PetSmart adoption events. Our fosters are usually able to be there and share information about the cats, so you get a full picture of the one(s) you are interested in!
Cat’s Pride Donations
Hundreds of kittens, dozens of adults pass thru Feral Fixers’ doors. That’s a LOT of litter! Many of our fosters have the time but not the money for supplies, which we provide. Think about 4 kittens, on hand for 3 months, how many bags of litter could that be? Yikes! Designating Feral Fixers for your points can make all the difference in the care of the cats in our hands. Become a Cat’s Pride Club member today!
Our thanks to everyone who designates Feral Fixers for their Cat's Pride points! A new location is donating space to store our skids of litter - huge thank you to Northshore Pool and Spa for the use of their space - they recently expanded their storage and it was just in time for our next donation from Cat's Pride. We had emptied our last bag of litter on hand into our litter bins two days before this shipment arrived! So many people and businesses keep Feral Fixers running!!!
How Can You Help Feral Fixers?
- Talk about us – spread the word about TNR. Talk about the difference Feral Fixers has made in your lives – helping with the cats in your neighborhood or the cat you have adopted from us!

- Attend our events – we will have some coming up soon. There just has not been enough time!
- Donate – check out our wish lists and of course money is always needed.
Joseph Stock presented an Eagle Scout project to create cardboard scratchers for Feral Fixers. He organized the effort and the Scouts to make two large boxes full! Very useful in different sizes. Leftover project funds were also donated! Some of the scratchers were put into immediate use in cages of kittens.
This is one of many recent Chewy shipments - kitten and adult canned food - thank you to everyone who have responded recently to our pleas for donations! FedEx guy hopes for kitten season to be over soon!
