Supporting Spay Neuter Across Georgia!
Every month, our hard-working spay/neuter partners who have received Fix Georgia Pets grants are out in our communities facilitating more spay and neuter. Their efforts may include helping pet owners access low cost options, feral cat trap neuter and release (TNR), or simply assuring every cat and dog adopted out into a new family is already snipped!
Upcoming Events
On Tuesday, September 10, West Georgia Spay Neuter Clinic will team up with Purrfect Peaches to offer a special spay and neuter day for community members in/around the Douglasville area. Tune into the Purrfect Peaches Facebook page for more details.
Good Mews, located in metro Atlanta, is currently planning a full day of trap-neuter-release (TNR) on Monday, September 16, followed by two days of surgeries for these feral cats September 17-18.
Stay tuned to the Events sections on www.goodmews.org and the Good Mews Facebook page for details.
Previous Events
Fix Georgia Pets sponsored and assisted rescue advocate Lori Trahan and friends from the Kudzu Cat Alliance with this stray cat trap neuter release (TNR) effort in Waycross, Georgia. This is a very high-need area for our efforts, as it is rural, and there are limited low-cost spay/neuter and/or folks able to trap and control the stray cat population in this area. The footage from this event is a must watch—awesome teamwork and a grateful community. If you want to learn how to trap cats, it’s all in the videos. Go, team, go!
- If those 24 females had a litter of 4 kittens each, that would be 96 kittens born.
- If each of those females had given birth to 3 litters in a year, that would have been 288 kittens.
- If half of the 288 kittens born to those 24 females were females, each with four kittens, that would be 576 kittens at least three litters a year.
- If you multiply 576 x 3, there’s a possibility of 1,728 kittens in one year from 24 females in our county.
This July event brought Klassy Kats to 162 cats fixed in 2024! Keep up the great work – we are stronger together!
The July low-cost spay and neuter day hosted by Furkids in Cumming, GA resulted in 80 cats being fixed. One thing Furkids and Fix GA Pets have in common is the desire to keep people and pets together, and we were thrilled to help provide affordable spay and neuter services to families in need.
It’s true that cats don’t add – they multiply! With the highest number of intakes we have ever seen, the importance of spaying and neutering your pets cannot be understated.
Hear from Athens County Humane Society about how Fix Georgia Pets is made a difference for pets in their community in June. Almost 60 pets were fixed as part of this spay neuter event!
What an amazing day of progress for the folks in the Athens area!
Every year the Madison-Oglethorpe Animal Shelter (MOAS) takes in almost 3,000 animals with the vast majority of these intakes being cats and kittens. Fix Georgia Pets is pleased to help with their trap-neuter-return efforts in the community — this effort is vital to solving Georgia’s pet overpopulation epidemic. We applaud the hard work of this organization and their commitment to getting the job done!
Our Executive Director Tricia visited Furkids in March as they spayed/neutered 18 stray and feral cats! They chatted about future projects focused on ending pet overpopulation and supporting families and pets.
Grants from Fix Georgia Pets enable Furkids to continue their mission of saving lives and positively impacting their community. Thank you, Furkids, for your ongoing dedication!
