NONPROFIT SPAY AND NEUTER GRANTS
Program Overview: The Fix Is In, Inc. Spay and Neuter grant program is funded by the sale of Wisconsin’s Spay-Neuter-Adopt specialty license plates. This initiative supports efforts to reduce overpopulation, prevent unwanted litters, and improve animal welfare across the state.
Eligibility: Grant funding is available to nonprofit organizations only; individual applicants are not eligible. Organizations must be based in Wisconsin and provide spay and neuter services that benefit Wisconsin residents and help reduce pet overpopulation.
Applicants must comply with all applicable local and state regulations related to spay and neuter surgeries, including standards for humane care and treatment of animals.
Use of Funds: Grant funds must be used to support spay and neuter services in high-need communities. High-need communities may include areas with limited access to affordable veterinary care, a high number of unsterilized pets, or barriers such as low income, rural location, or a high proportion of elderly residents.

PUBLIC SPAY AND NEUTER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Fix Is In is focusing on spay and neuter for outdoor, free-roaming cats. This includes cats that roam the community and typically live in barns, sheds, or garages. We are not assisting with pet cats and kittens at this time, even if these cats were rescued from an outdoor situation. Our goal is to decrease the number of cats and kittens silently suffering outdoors.
BEFORE your cat(s) appointment(s), EMAIL info@thefixisin.org about the cat(s) you need help fixing. Include the following information:
- Location of the cats
- Total number of cats (it is important that ALL cats be fixed)
- Describe your situation (Will you continue to shelter, feed, and care for the cats after surgery? Are you helping a neighbor get their cats fixed? Etc.
Once we receive your message, we may have additional question and will determine how we can provide assistance.
Preference is given to individuals in the following counties: Wood, Portage, Marathon, Lincoln, Langlade, Forest, Florence, Oneida, Vilas, Price, and Taylor.
