ATTENTION CAT PARENTS‼️
This is a real and dangerous threat to all cats.

You may have noticed some concerning posts recently about local cats being diagnosed with Bobcat Fever, or Cytauxzoonosis.

Cytauxzoon are single-celled organisms that affect the blood and tissues of animals, initially causing fatigue and fever, quickly followed by diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, weight loss, labored breathing, and more. If you notice any of these symptoms in your pet, seek veterinary care asap.

This parasitic organism is spread most commonly by tick bite, so the most effective way to avoid infection is to keep your cat safely indoors and to use prescription-strength tick prevention. If you suspect your cat is infected, or if you'd like to discuss prevention, call or text our clinic for an appointment at 812-333-MCHA (6242).

For more detailed information on Bobcat Fever, check out the article "Cytauxzoonosis in Cats" by Veterinary Partner – VIN at https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952731

Important information to heed and share. If you are a community cat caregiver, thank you for doing what you can for them. It is the indoor cats abandoned to the outdoors or any indoor/outdoor cats who can’t get back inside that will struggle the most because they are less acclimated to the heat.

Don't forget about your four-legged friends during the ongoing heat. Take these steps to keep your pets safe from harm, and never leave pets in a parked car!

We are very busy with TNR cases in and near Bloomington/Monroe County, so it might take a bit for our volunteers to get to you. But please don’t hesitate to reach out sooner than later to help stop the breeding sooner than later. And if you can, please donate to help our work at www.feralcatfriend.org

TNR does work! We TNR’d 86 cats in May alone. Thats allot of pregnancies not happening and allot of healthier cats. But it also means it was a big monthly invoice to pay to Pets Alive. Similar invoices are paid every month and our funding comes only from donations, fund raising and grants. Every amount anyone can contribute is helpful and appreciated.

Attention Greene County, Indiana. If you haven’t heard about this, please read and share the announcement. And do all you can to help our friends and the animals at the Greene County Indiana Humane Society.

We have a HUGE announcement to make!

Affordable veterinary care is once again getting a much-needed boost in Greene County and surrounding areas. We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of Fix ‘n’ Friends, our new low-cost spay and neuter clinic located inside our shelter in Linton. The clinic will officially open to the public on June 9, 2025.

The clinic was created in response to PetsAlive discontinuing operations at their Greene County location which limited pet owners' options for low-cost spay/neuter and preventative services.

We wanted to quickly ensure that affordable services were again available!

🐾 Affordable Services You Can Expect:
✅ Spay & Neuter (with FREE microchip!)
✅ Walk-in Vaccine & Parasite Prevention Clinic (Every Thursday!)
✅ Puppy & Kitten Starter Bundles

💚 Our mission is simple: Make essential vet care accessible for every pet and every family in our community.

📍 Location: Greene County Humane Society 1026 N 1375 W, Linton, IN

🌐 See our full list of prices and services and book your appointment: www.fixnfriends.com

✨ Walk-ins welcome for Thursday vaccine clinic – no appointment needed! Vaccine clinic begins Thursday, June 12th!

Let’s keep pets healthy, prevent overpopulation, and support families — together.



*EDIT: We just learned that there was an issue in the online appointment system in scheduling. We have corrected this and appointments should be able to be scheduled now.

This is very true. But it takes more time and effort and money to assist after kittens arrive.

We want to help by sharing the fund raising needs of one of our fellow local animal-related nonprofits. The horse barn was destroyed by one of the tornadoes yesterday.

February is Feline Fix by Five Months. Kittens can reach sexual maturity by 4-6 months. If you have a kitten, don’t wait to make a spay/neuter appointment. 📆
