Cat Allergies

Feral Fixers is NOT endorsing this product, but I just heard about it, have one volunteer who has started using and her son, who is terribly allergic, is able to interact with the former feral who has joined their household after a very brief use of the powder. At a time when the reason for most cat returns is ALLERGIES! this could make a difference in the lives of cats that may have their lives turned upside down due to human allergic responses to them. We won’t get anything if you try it, but please look this over if you have been fighting itchy eyes, sneezes, etc. This could be so cool!

Black Cat Giving Tuesday

Feral Fixers’ Black Cat Giving Tuesday Fundraiser continues! As I write this, we have achieved 31% of our goal! Our campaign continues until midnight of 12/31/24, so you have almost a month to participate – but please keep in mind that your donation encourages others to do so as well so please don’t wait until the last moment! This fundraiser has 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 look at some of our wonderful representatives! Please share your photos and stories, join in and help us raise funds for the coming year!

We’re Not Done Yet!

We still have kittens in foster requiring s/n and there have been a few injured cats. We’ve relocated several Working Cats – they may go into nice warm barns and warehouses to bond with their new home. So much yet to do! Please join us for Upcoming Events and think about volunteering with us in the coming year. This is the time of year when we work very hard on adoptions and fundraising.

  • 12/12 – GEAH – 1 feral female.
  • 12/13/24 – ADOPT – 10 friendlies, 7 female, 3 male.
