Fix Our Ferals offers free spay/neuter clinics for homeless cats in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. We have helped more than 3000 East Bay residents to sterilize over 10,000 cats since we started in 1998. See our mission statement.
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. Please call our volunteer-staffed hot line, (510) 433-9446, for advice and referrals. See How the Clinic Works for detailed instructions about the process and Upcoming Clinics to find out when reservations open for each clinic.
