Furbish Thrift Spay+Neuter Matching Fund
One female cat can produce up to three litters each year, resulting in as many as 200 kittens during her very difficult lifetime. Each of her kittens, and their offspring, would also produce this many cats. So you can see why spaying and neutering is a vital and humane way to get feral colonies stabilized.
In December 2023, Furbish Thrift sponsored our first free spay+neuter day for feral cats. With your help we have fixed over 800 cats with our Big Fixes since then.
It has been an amazing effort by the trappers, vets, techs and volunteers and so much good is done on these high volume days.
Let’s do it again! We need your help to fix 100+ cats at our next Big Fixes in April.
We have arranged for 100 (maybe more) spay/neuter/basic health service appointments at Kincheloe South at the Beath Clinic in Ashland on April. We will organize and mobilize Richmond area TNR volunteers (that’s Trap, Neuter, Return).
Let’s make a big difference in this community!
Furbish Thrift is partnering with local rescues to help out with particularly rampant cat situations in RVA, and dedicated volunteers will be working to trap as many as 100 cats and kittens for two clinics in April. The Big Fix is helping to fund this one ~ they’ll be fixed, vaxxed, attended to medically and released back in their community..
The cost is $60 per cat. Help us help 100+ cats.
Furbish Thrift will match your donations dollar for dollar. Our goal for a Big Fix is $6,500. Any additional money raised will go toward future Big Fix clinics!
DONATE NOW. And thanks.
How it works
The Big Fix is for rescue organizations working to Trap Neuter Vaccinate Return (TNVR) feral community cats. If you are someone that manages a community cat colony the best way to participate in a Big Fix is by working with an established rescue organization in your area that will have traps and expertise in trapping. If you are a caretaker with your own traps, contact Kincheloe South for available appointments.
You do not need to wait for a Big Fix! You can also contact Kincheloe South and make appointments directly. They are open Tue-Thu each week and will almost always be able to fit in a pregnant cat. The fee is $60 for a spay, rabies vaccination and ear tip. Their email is [email protected]
