Animal Friends Alliance, a Colorado-based animal welfare organization, has launched its annual February Fix Fest campaign to promote spaying and neutering of pets and raise funds for its subsidized spay/neuter clinic and other programs. The campaign includes a $10,000 donation match from a local resident and opportunities for the public to purchase merchandise or sponsor surgeries.

Why it matters

Overpopulation of pets is a significant issue that leads to many animals ending up in shelters or living on the streets. By promoting spaying and neutering, the February Fix Fest aims to address this problem and reduce the number of unwanted litters in the local community.

The details

In 2025, the Animal Friends Alliance fixed 8,221 dogs and cats through their community veterinary clinic, animal shelter, and trap-neuter-return programs for community cats. This year's February Fix Fest campaign seeks to raise $44,075 to fund these ongoing efforts, including the purchase of essential medical equipment. Individuals can participate by purchasing campaign merchandise, sponsoring a surgery, or making a direct donation.

• The February Fix Fest fundraiser kicked off on February 1, 2026 and runs through the end of the month.
