We’re Almost in Full Swing
With so many warm days, we have started TNR. 1st week of April we will start with bigger numbers, scheduling three out of every four weeks. The goal is to make a serious dent in the volume of unneutered cats in DuPage!
We received a call from a caretaker, cat TNR’d in 2016, cat was coming inside at night now and her breath really smelled. Usually, that is severe dental disease and results in euthanasia. Luckily for Lady, after removal of one really bad pre-molar and a cleaning, this 9+ year old seemed in good shape for her age and went back to her in-and-out life.
- 3/7 – DCAS – 5 ferals, 4 female, 1 male.
- 3/12 – DCAS – 1 friendly, 14 ferals, 9 female, 6 male.
- 3/13 – DCAS – 13 ferals, 8 female, 5 male – one male previously neutered with small eartip, now re-done. One older kitten was trapped with netting around her neck, removed, now fine.
- 3/20 – DCAS – 1 friendly, 17 ferals, 8 female, 10 male – one male already neutered with small eartip, now re-done.
Total: March to-date 64, year to-date 99, since 2007 15,833.

Mia came in with a section of netting around her neck. Squeezing her against side of trap, we were able to snip it off. Yay! Fish net? Sport net? Who knows? |

As Many As Possible As Soon As Possible
DCAS Law Enforcement Workshop
Laura, head of our Working Cats Program and prolific trapper, presented information about TNR and Feral Fixers at the DCAS Law Enforcement Workshop on 3/19. This was a huge opportunity for Feral Fixers and for the officers to learn more about feral cats and what Feral Fixers does. Our thanks to the attendees and to DCAS for inviting us to share knowledge about feral cats!

Adoption Event – 3/23/25
Sunday, March 23th, 1PM to 4PM at 330 Eisenhower Ln N, Lombard, IL. We have many adult cats – adoptable kittens have not arrived yet. Feral Fixers is unique in our knowledge of the cats we have for adoption – usually knowing where they came from and their colony mates – behavior can be genetic! We have trapped cats that are already friendly and just take a short time to learn about the indoors. Fill out an adoption application in advance to be pre-approved. Check out our cats on our Adoptables page.
