Spay Neuter Events

Human Society of Forsyth County Spay/Neuter Days for Cats

Thanks a Fix Georgia Pets grant, Humane Society of Forsyth County was able to host another impactful Spay/Neuter event! Your support is helping fix more cats, support more families, and create real, lasting change in our community.

Together, we’re reducing overpopulation, preventing suffering, and building a healthier, kinder future for cats and the people who love them.

Furkids Spay/Neuter Day for Cats

We were thrilled to award a Fall grant to Planned Pethood, empowering them to host a one-day spay/neuter clinic serving 75 cats in the greater Forsyth County area.

Thanks to this support, pet owners were able to access this critical service for just $35 per cat. Demand was overwhelming—the event sold out within weeks of being announced!

Fix Georgia Pets at the APAW Expo

Fix Georgia Pets was proud to join animal welfare professionals and advocates from across Georgia at the 26th annual APAW Expo to share best practices and strengthen collaboration.

Day Two, sponsored by Fix Georgia Pets and the Georgia Pet Foundation, brought together over 60 rescuers from 25 communities for strategic roundtables and a powerful session on compassion fatigue and wellness.

Following the event, Fix Georgia Pets awarded two $2,500 grants to Humane Society of Forsyth County and new partner Macon-Bibb County Animal Services, reinforcing our shared commitment to ending Georgia’s pet overpopulation crisis.

Athens Area Humane Society Spay/Neuter Day for Dogs

In September, we partnered with The Bissell Foundation to provide a grant to Athens Area Humane Society, helping them host a Spay/Neuter Day for owned dogs.

Slots for large dogs quickly sold out, soon followed by the small dog slots. Because spay/neuter costs vary by weight, it’s particularly challenging for dog owners to find affordable surgery — especially for larger dogs.

Your support directly made this lifesaving event possible.

Fix Georgia Pets along with Athens Area Humane Society, Holland M. Ware Charitable Foundation, BISSELL Pet Foundation and Georgia Pet Foundation sponsored a large scale Community Cat TNVR Event, conducted over a hot week in July with the help of 7 additional partner rescue groups.

Thanks to your support, 166 cats, in several surrounding counties, were trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated and then released back into the greater Athens community, where loving caregivers will continue to love and feed them.

Humane Society of Forsyth County Partners with Fix Georgia Pets to Host Spay / Neuter Clinic Day

Fix Georgia Pets was thrilled to partner with the Humane Society of Forsyth County for an impactful community event!

Our collaboration is a powerful step toward our shared mission: to end the pet overpopulation crisis across Georgia. By helping families access essential veterinary services, we’re not only improving the health and well-being of individual pets — we’re also reducing the number of unwanted litters and easing the burden on local shelters.

May 5th was an incredible day of compassion, care, and community support. We can’t wait to see the positive impact our future events will have on the lives of pets and their families!

Athens Area Humane Society FREE Vaccine + Spay/Neuter Voucher Event

Furkids Spay/Neuter Clinic for Cats

Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelters hosted a spay/neuter event in February made possible by a Fix Georgia Pets grant. Cat parents could get their feline friends fixed for just $20!

We’re grateful to the Furkids Cat Network for their incredible work supporting their community. Together, we’re making a stronger impact in ending Georgia’s pet overpopulation crisis.

These grants are only made possible through your donations. So please keep giving to help us end the cycle of litters and pet homelessness in Georgia!

We’re proud to have participated in the Athens Area Humane Society (AAHS) free pet clinic in October! Through the help of other sponsors, they provided no-cost vaccines, heartworm/flea prevention, and food/supplies for up to 200 pets in multiple rural counties throughout North and Northeast Georgia.  

More importantly, they handed out 50 Fix Georgia Pets spay/neuter vouchers to families in need as a proactive effort to curtail these community reproducers before they add to Georgia’s pet overpopulation epidemic. Congrats to AAHS for their event success, proving once again that we are stronger together when it comes to caring for Georgia’s pets!

Enjoy the video footage from the successful community clinic day!

Using a recent Fix Georgia Pets grant, Good Mews was able to team up with the Community Cat Support Coalition of Canton to conduct a full day of trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) on Monday, September 16, followed by two days of surgeries for these feral cats September 17-18.

This hard-working team trapped 52 community cats in neighboring Cherokee County! The event was a huge success and just goes to show that when amazing volunteers work closely with other non-profit groups we are in fact “stronger together”!

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.

Special thanks to Pounce de Leon for providing traps! Go, team, go!

The Release

Thanks to their Fix Georgia Pets grant, the Athens Area Humane Society could provide spay/neuter vouchers during their Free Pet Vaccine and Microchip Clinic in July! We hear many vouchers were used at their clinic after the event to get some precious furbabies ‘fixed’ and ensure they’re not adding unwanted litters to our already-overwhelmed Georgia shelters.

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!

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!

In June, our partners at Planned Pethood used their grant toward 200 spay/neuter vouchers, distributed at their Pet Community Clinic in Athens-Clark County. These community health clinics draw residents in for necessary healthcare like vaccines and flea treatment and allow them to have the conversation about why spaying/neutering is better for their pet’s health and goes a long way toward preventing the ongoing epidemic of too many pets, not enough homes in Georgia. We thank our partners for addressing this community’s need with proactive spay/neuter, as we know the Athens/Clarke County shelter is among many that are having to put unwanted pets to sleep due to lack of space and adoptions. We are stronger together, and every spay/neuter effort counts when it comes to saving pet lives!
