Glad to be on this team 💪🏻

We’re excited to announce the launch of the San Diego Spay and Neuter Coalition, a collaborative effort bringing together animal welfare organizations, veterinary partners, rescue groups and public-sector agencies across San Diego County to expand access to spay/neuter services.

Many organizations are already working hard to provide spay/neuter services in our community. But by working together, we can better understand where services and resources are available, identify gaps in access and coordinate efforts to reach communities with the greatest need.

The coalition will focus on sharing resources and referrals, community outreach and education, understanding available services and capacity and identifying opportunities to expand access to care.

By connecting organizations and coordinating resources, we hope to make spay/neuter services more accessible to pets and families throughout San Diego County — and ultimately help more animals live healthy lives in our community.

We are excited to work with our San Diego Spay and Neuter Coalition partners, Anicira, East County Animal Rescue ECAR, Feral Cat Coalition, Frosted Faces Foundation, PAWS of Coronado, Rancho Coastal Humane Society, San Diegans 4 Spay and Neuter, San Diego County Animal Services, San Diego House Rabbit Society, Inc, San Diego Rescue Coalition and SNAP - Spay Neuter Action Project.

10 of today’s 37 community cats came from a place called Slab City. If you don’t know anything about Slab City, we recommend you google it. It’s a very interesting community out in the desert.
These 10 cats are all suffering from very severe earmite infestation. Earmites are painful and if left untreated, can destroy the eardrum.
Thankfully, FCC does more than just spay/neuter and we are prepared with proper one time doses for feral cats with earmites. It does come at a bit of a cost.
Can you help us raise $200 to help treat all of these cats?

The idea of this shirt is something we tossed around for couple of years. We had no idea this shirt would be such a hit! We are so incredibly grateful for each of you who placed an order which supports our organization. Thank you!

We know a lot of you did not have a chance to get a specific size and were bummed. So we placed another printing order! They will be ready to ship in about 4 weeks and we promise to get them out ASAP!

So take advantage of this time where your order counts toward our donation match AND you get a rad long sleeve shirt. Preorders open now! 💜

Petey arrived at our clinic today in a trap alongside 41 other cats from around San Diego and beyond. Before preparing him for surgery, we scanned him for a microchip. To our surprise, he had one!

This happens from time to time. Sometimes, a microchip isn’t registered, or we’re unable to reach the owners or find someone willing to take the cat back. So, you can imagine how refreshing it was to have a very different outcome today.

Petey had accidentally escaped from his home in a rural community one year ago. When we called his family, they were completely shocked to learn that he was still alive. Their neighborhood is home to many predators, and they had feared the worst.

Petey’s family were so relieved to hear that he was safe and they are eagerly awaiting his reunion with him. The trapper will be driving him back to his family this evening.

After an entire year apart, Petey is finally going home.

Every pet should be microchipped. Even indoor-only pets! Accidents happen, doors get left open, and even the most careful pet owners can find themselves searching for a missing family member. A registered microchip can make all the difference in bringing a lost pet home.

Already have your pet microchipped? Take a moment to make sure your contact information is up to date. If you’ve moved or changed your phone number, be sure to update your pet’s microchip registration.

Not sure if your pet is microchipped or can’t find their microchip information? Stop by your local veterinary clinic or animal shelter and ask them to scan your pet. They can help you locate the microchip number so you can check its registration and update your information if needed.

One tiny chip made all the difference for Petey and his family. 💜

It’s National Feral Cat Day!
Thanks to Feral Cat Coalition Board Member Sheri Randle, National Feral Cat Day was BROUGHT BACK in 2022 after she reached out to National Today and advocated for its return. Several years ago, National Feral Cat Day was changed to Global Cat Day. While we love the celebration of cats, we felt this was a set back in the years of education provided to communities regarding feral cats.

We want folks to know about TNR (trap-neuter-return) and that when a cat is seen with an ear tip, they know that cat is no longer contributing to the overpopulation crisis. And it often encourages community members to step up and help more cats in their neighborhood.

Feral Cat Coalition believes that feral cats deserve a National Day and that organizations providing critical spay and neuter services are recognized and appreciated for providing awareness and lifesaving work.

If your organization is involved with feral cats, please take this moment to share this special day for the underdogs of the rescue world.

As pioneers in TNR here in the United States, we are grateful for our supporters near and far who have supported us over the last 34 years. Allowing us the ability to continue providing FREE spay and neuter for cats in need is crucial and we cannot thank you enough for believing in us. 💜

Sadly, another community cat gave birth in a trap today. If only she had come in a day earlier, we could have saved a feral cat from caring for neonates in confinement. And we could have saved a foster home needed for suffering street kittens. And we could have saved a home for a kitten sitting in an adoption center.

But when they are born, we do everything in our power to keep them and their mother alive and thriving.

If you are ever conflicted about the right thing to do, it’s humane spay-abortion. 💜

Fostering saves lives!

Thank you to Smittens Rescue for being an amazing rescue partner.

We have named her Shayla. And regardless of her outcome, she will know how much she is cared for.

This is truly only possible because you all gave so much to help our boy who came in on Tuesday. We named him Funyuns by the way.

Shayla has a long road to recovery. Fingers crossed that there are no major road blocks.
