Why we need to fix as many dogs as we can!

If you have a dog that weighs 70 pounds or more, have a pregnant pet or are at risk of losing your housing because your pet is not spayed or neutered, we can help get them fixed at no cost to you! We have a new location in Ottawa, KS that could be very convenient. Complete the form at this link to request a referral: https://www.snckc.org/prioritypethelpline

Now is a great time, (before it gets cold), to buy a heated water bowl (amazon or hardware store) for outdoor critters. It's also a good opportunity to ensure any outdoor housing is in good condition, elevated from the ground and stocked with fresh straw. If it was up to me, every animal would have a warm bed inside each night, but if you happen to have pets who generally prefers the outdoors, please take the right precautions to keep him/her safe from the elements, warm and hydrated as the colder months roll in. Remember, WATER FREEZES- even in heated water bowls when it gets REALLY cold.

Pets should absolutely br brought inside (to even a garage or basement) in freezing temperatures. Just because they're covered in fur doesn't make them resistant to hypothermia. IF YOU'RE FREEZING, THEY ARE TOO. Please, PREPARE FOR WINTER NOW...

Are you tired of finding your furry dog water bowl frozen during the chilly winter months? This thermostatically controlled heated dog water bowl is equipped with a reliable heating element designed to consistently maintain your pet's water at just the right temperature. Prevents water from free...

We pay for feral cats in the Kansas City area to be spayed and neutered every week, but the heavy lifting is done by dedicated and compassionate feral cat colony caretakers & trappers. The community truly owes these individuals tremendous gratitude for the selfless work they do. Caring for and humanely trapping cats takes a LOT of time, patience and money (cat food, transportation etc). These people often work in dangerous areas and extreme temperatures, caring for animals who would otherwise be completely on their own and reproducing.

Fix'em KC is happy to assist these volunteers by paying for the surgeries. While they do the hard work of feeding and trapping, together, with low-cost spay/neuter clinics, we help decrease the feral cat population...one by one.

This video shows several feral cats from a large colony being released back to the area they call "home" after their spay/neuter surgeries have been completed. In this now-stabilized colony, the cats may will live out their lives, but won't be reproducing.

Thank you, feral cat colony caretakers and trappers. You're making a huge difference for SO many and we appreciate you!

NO PETS SHOULD BE LEFT OUTSIDE IN THIS HEAT, and please help wildlife by putting out fresh water daily. Call animal control if you see a pet in distress. Call 911 if you see anyone left in a car-

WHAT A BLAST! It was HOT, but it was AWESOME! 100 attendees came out to Paddles for Paws yesterday at The Carriage Club to sweat it out for spay and neuter! We raised $10,000 to help struggling pet parents afford low-cost spay/neuter for their fur kids. Preventing litters prevents pet overpopulation and pet homelessness - as simple as that.

Huge thank you to all who came out to play and/or watch the tourney!

Shout out to Scrap Management Industries, Linda & Brad Nicholson, Alice & Mike White, Brady Burns of Parkway Real Estate, Paula Porsch Wealth Management, Sharon Gartin, Debbie Palermo, Betsy Gamble and Anne Darby for sponsoring this fantastic event.

Many thanks to Alice & Mike White, for joining us as sponsors of Paddles for Paws! For years she has walked shelter dogs, giving them care and time outside of their kennels. She knows SPAY & NEUTER is the #1 way to decrease pet homelessness. Thank you for your continued support, Alice and Mike....
