The 2025 Global Feral Fix Challenge
Ready to save more cats' lives this year??
|
You have the ability to dramatically improve the fate of thousands of cats and kittens by reducing the number of kittens born on the streets and sterilizing adult cats so that they will no longer suffer by giving birth to litter after litter.
If you are interested in donating your time and services to saving community cats, please sign up to participate in ACR's Feral Fix Challenge. By participating, you will play an integral role in reducing the number of kittens born on the streets this year and in the future. |

The Global Feral Fix program is an annual initiative to save lives and promote the spaying and neutering of community cats. Alley Cat Rescue is calling on the veterinary community to provide free or low-cost spay and neuter surgery for as many cats as possible in 2025. Please join us in a lifesaving challenge!
Approximately 3.2 million cats enter U.S. shelters each year, but sadly nearly 1 million of them won't make it out alive. When kitten season reaches its peak during the summer months, shelters quickly become overwhelmed by the high numbers of kittens pouring in – 80% of whom are those found outdoors, born from unsterilized, free-roaming cats. This is the primary reason why about 875 healthy healthy, adoptable cats are euthanized each day in our country's shelters. We’re asking veterinarians to help us ‘fix’ the kitten invasion by pledging to spay or neuter as many community cats as possible this year, for as low a cost as possible. Veterinarians are encouraged to work in collaboration with local animal rescuers and trap-neuter-return (TNR) groups to identify and assist cats in need of sterilization.
What you need to do:
1) Veterinarians and clinics can register to participate via this link.
2) Beginning December 31st, 2025, veterinarians and clinics will be asked to submit their Feral Fix Challenge spay/neuter totals.
Are you an non-veterinary individual who wants to make an impact for cats in your community? Complete this form and we'll invite the clinic(s) you designate to take the Feral Fix Challenge! All veterinarians are eligible.
HISTORY
Alley Cat Rescue launched Feral Cat Spay Day (FCSD) in 2010 to encourage the veterinary community to offer free and low-cost trap-neuter-return (TNR) services to those who care for community cats. In 2017 we expanded the challenge from one day to a whole month in order to increase the impact for cats. To date, more than 1,700 participants in the U.S. and around the world have spayed or neutered nearly 200,000 community cats as part of this program! For 2025, the Feral Fix Challenge will take place from now until the end of the year in order to sterilize as many cats as possible for a brighter 2026.
