What Fix Our Ferals does
Mission
Fix Our Ferals (dba animal fix clinic) provides affordable, excellent quality spay/neuter and other life-saving and life-changing surgeries for companion dogs, cats and community cats.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Community cat tnr: in 2024, animal fix clinic spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped 2,929 community cats through its trap-neuter-return (tnr) program. These cats are unowned and free-roaming. To make care accessible, the clinic subsidizes over 75% of the total cost and charges the public 45 per cat. Providing low-cost sterilization for community cats is a critical strategy for reducing overpopulation and preventing unplanned litters that might otherwise enter local shelters and rescues.
$476,781 spent$368,151 earned by the program39% of program spendingCompanion animal spay/neuer: in 2024, animal fix clinic provided spay/neuter, vaccination, and microchipping services for 2,384 companion animals. Services are offered on a sliding scale to ensure affordability while maintaining program sustainability. Donor support helps cover the gap between what low-income clients can pay and the actual cost of care, allowing us to provide timely surgical services regardless of financial circumstance.
$415,655 spent$460,167 earned by the program34% of program spendingUrgent surgery: the clinic has made a commitment to not turn an animal away if it is a surgery with which we can help. In 2024 the clinic performed 355 urgent surgeries that included enucleations, cystotomies, limb amputations and other life-saving and/or life-enhancing curative surgeries. We provide top-notch care at the lowest possible cost, but some caretakers need additional help via donor supported subsidies so we may provide their pets with the care they need.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $552k to $1.0M (+88%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 7% · 2022 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
39% of FIX OUR FERALS’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (74% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $153k → $247k.
8 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 64% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of FIX OUR FERALS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 29 of 30 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
FIX OUR FERALS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 60%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
71% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FIX OUR FERALS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 51% · 2019 62% · 2020 57% · 2021 55% · 2022 60% · 2023 49% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
58% of FIX OUR FERALS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 83% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
64% of FIX OUR FERALS's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $594k that is directly attributable, 53% of it comes from funders outside California, across 9 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
