Fix Our Ferals offers free spay/neuter clinics for homeless cats in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. We have helped more than 2000 East Bay residents to sterilize over 9,600 cats since we started in 1998.

If you live in the East Bay, chances are there are feral and stray cats in your neighborhood. Let us help you control and reduce their numbers using the cruelty-free strategy of trap/neuter/return—the only method that succeeds.
