February 8 - PetFix

Pet overpopulation is a HUGE problem!   For every human born today in the United States, 45 cats and 15 dogs will be born. Six to eight million will end up in shelters.  About half will be euthanized because there simply aren’t enough homes. In addition, countless homeless animals, who never make it into shelters, will scratch out a meager existence on the streets – often becoming threats to public health and safety. This makes pet overpopulation the major cause of death and suffering for companion animals.

The cure is simple.  For you. For your pet. For all the animals waiting in shelters….Fix’m now!  PetFix Northeast Ohio makes spay/neuter surgeries affordable and accessible to low-income pet owners, caregivers for feral and free-roaming cats and agencies offering cats and dogs for adoption. The goal: every cat and dog born wanted and loved.  PetFix is a  mobile spay/neuter clinic providing low cost surgeries to low income pet owners, feral cat caregivers, and shelters, rescues, and animal control agencies placing animals for adoption.

PetFix Northeast Ohio is a 501.c.3 non-profit organization dedicated to ending pet overpopulation in the region by promoting the importance of spay/neuter and making spay/neuter surgeries affordable and accessible to:

• low-income pet owners
• feral cat caregivers
• shelters, rescues, and animal control agencies placing animals for adoption.

The 33' PetFix mobile clinic, a state-of-the-art surgery on wheels with 24 stainless steel recovery cages on board, rolls into town early in the morning and sets up in a safe, convenient location.  PetFix surgeries are performed by licensed veterinarians with the assistance of registered veterinary technicians and animal care technicians. Our well-trained and experienced medical staff has only one concern - the health and safety of the animals brought to the PetFix Clinic.  Animals are discharged in the afternoon. Owners receive detailed going-home instructions along with names of local veterinarians they can call in case of a post-operative emergency.
