Program: FixNation's General Operations

Budget:: $1,292,750
Category:: Animal-Related
Population Served:: General Public/Unspecified; General Public/Unspecified; Other Named Groups

Program Description:

Our main operations include: <ul type="disc"><li>Operating a full-time spay/neuter clinic with free services for homeless stray and feral cats, and affordable services for tame cats.</li><li>Maintaining a collection of humane traps which we loan out to the public and caregivers who participate in our programs.</li><li>Educating the public about TNR and offering training sessions on proper trapping techniques and care of feral cat colonies.</li><li>Managing community outreach programs to elevate the awareness of TNR and ultimately reduce shelter intake and euthanasia rates for cats as a whole.</li><li>Conducting free, bi-monthly spay-neuter clinics in partnership with our sister program, Best Friends Catnippers.</li></ul>

Program Long-Term Success:

Our organization was founded to bring together all of the known, effective TNR resources, and offer them as one, complete package to the community on a high-volume, high quality basis. These resources include a dedicated facility, 2-full time veterinarians specializing in high-volume sterilization surgery, a trained technical staff, hundreds of traps to loan out, a front-office staff capable of training the public on TNR, trapping, after-care, etc., and a team dedicated to raising public awareness, doing public education and engaging in community outreach on a consistent basis. <p> </p> <p>This massive array of resources has been extraordinarily successful and effective. In just over 4 years, FixNation has sterilized over 50,000 cats. In 2010 alone, we fixed nearly 17,000 homeless cats, thereby preventing hundreds of thousands more from coming into the population. These efforts have stabilized countless numbers of stray cat colonies, and caused FixNation to become a major resource for the community. </p>

Program Short-Term Success:

In 2010, we examined 18,583 cats, and sterilized and gave medical attention to 16,829 of them. 14,839 of these were stray or feral cats. The work prevented the needless suffering of countless homeless cats, and greatly relieved the burden on shelters.

Program Success Monitored by:

Our results<strong> </strong>are measured by complete and transparent reporting of all performance results, tracking colonies, and shelter intake activity.
