WHO WE ARE
Fixin' Feral Felines offers help for feral cats and their caretakers, through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
We are a group of concerned individuals, from Kane and DeKalb counties, who have joined together to help control the feral cat population in our communities. Since 2004, we have trapped and spayed/neutered thousands of feral cats & kittens.
Interesting Facts
Every day 10,000 humans are born and 70,000 cats and dogs are born. Each day approximately 22,000 cats and dogs are euthanized. To end the homelessness of cats and dogs, each man, woman, and child would need to adopt 7 animals each. That would mean a family of 4 would have 28 animals!!
For every cat or dog born, 31 are euthanized. The number destroyed does not include those who are shot, run over, killed by another animal, used for dog fighting bait, sold to research, abused and tortured to death by humans, or starved to death. Not every animal will find a good home.
The solution to pet overpopulation is aggressive spay / neuter programs and more low-cost clinics. Overpopulation is in everyone’s backyard and in everyone’s pocketbook
