Away We Go!

• 3/21 – DCAS – 1 feral female.
• 3/27 – DCAS – 15 ferals, 6 female, 9 males. Some of the spiciest ferals we’ve seen in quite a while – thank goodness for trap dividers!

Total: March to-date 80, year to-date 115, since 2007 15,849.

March 27th Trip		This is Yastremski from 3/27. Couldn't resist a picture of this face! He allowed touching but was not enthusiastic about it, so will go back home to the outside. Never know what he will decide for his future past that!

One cat or 30, all are worth the trip for s/n! This is the 100th cat for 2025!		William post neuter

This is William. Debbie had been feeding for several weeks, and he became more and more vocal!

As Many As Possible As Soon As Possible

Pavlov Knew What He Was Doing

Laura is seeing great results when colony caretakers actually ring a bell or shake a bag of food to call ferals to breakfast or dinner. Caretakers worry when they don’t see one of their ferals at a meal and this extra encouragement to come eat can relieve those fears of what may have happened to their furry friend. Gives the cats a job to do and they really do like to have responsibilities! Give it a try, see if you have better attendance at the feeding station as a result!

Some happy ferals coming to dinner...

Fiona is a generous young cat lady and asked her friends and family for gifts for Feral Fixers for her 6th birthday!  She and her family have adopted from Feral Fixers, Busby and Buster are doing great!

Have A Feral Fixers Trap?

People get busy, having a trap on hand gives a feeling of security for when that next cat shows up, but we need traps to be in use! Please return any traps you are not actively using for TNR as soon as you can!

Many thanks to Rescue Pack for food from 3/15 distribution!

Major thank you to Todd Gronke U-Haul for loan of van for transporting the food to Feral Fixers!

Adoption Event – 4/12/25

Saturday, April 12^th, 11AM to 3PM at 330 Eisenhower Ln N, Lombard. Older kittens and adults for the most part. We have had a number of returns – for many causes – life changes, allergies, the economy – none the fault of the adopters, and definitely not the fault of the cats! This is another step in life’s journey for these cats and give us even more knowledge of the cats we have for adoption. An adoption application can be filled out in advance to be pre-approved. Check out our cats on our Adoptables page.

Remember Our Need for Storage Plea?

Back in June, we asked for storage space as the rent on our storage unit was going up to $379/month for our 10’ x 10’ space. We whittled away at the items in storage, brought traps into the building at season end and we were out of the storage unit by the end of the year. The Village of Lombard approved our application to put in a shed! Almost completed – still need a concrete ramp leading up to the door from the parking lot to make loading and unloading easier. Reducing our monthly costs by $379+ - because it would only go up in price every year – this was definitely worth the effort and expense for a permanent solution! The concrete pad was donated – thank you to anonymous donor!!! Check out the pictures!

Finished construction! There will be a small concrete ramp up to the door to make it easier to bring items in.

Check Your Feral Photos

Never know what the weather will be in Chicago, right? 70 degrees one day, blizzard the next! We and our public really enjoy the Holiday card we send out every year. Photos need to be clear, show cat(s) have eartips and some snow on the ground. We would love to continue this tradition as our donors love the picture and the stories that goes with them. There might be snow in the next few days, once again, but check your photos in case there are pics you forgot to send. Complete rules and all the previous winners are shown here. Thank you!
