FiXiT Offers Unique Holiday Gift Giving Option that Saves Lives with “Gift A Fix”

Gift-Giving Program Designed to Combat Pet Overpopulation Helps Pet Owners Seek Financial Assistance to Get Pets Spayed or Neutered.

Virginia Beach, VA, November 22, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The holidays are a time to reflect on your impact in the world and take the opportunity to give selflessly to others. One walk through the local mall might confuse you though. So much emphasis is put on buying the most expensive gifts that the real meaning of giving to others and making a difference gets lost. There IS a way to give holiday gifts to others, while still focusing on the meaning of the holiday season – to help those in need.

FiXiT, an organization dedicated to ending the overpopulation of animals, is offering the perfect holiday gift-giving idea for those who truly want to make a difference. Unlike many charitable gifts, this is an opportunity to let a special someone know exactly how a gifted donation makes an impact on the cause; they will get to choose which cat or dog profiled on GetYourFix will receive a free spay/neuter surgery.
“FiXiT is dedicated to helping people who take in homeless, abused, or suffering animals that need a little financial assistance to help prevent more litters and from contributing to the serious problem of pet overpopulation,” said Dr. Kellie Heckman, Co-Founder of FiXiT. “Our Gift A Fix program provides a unique way to honor someone special and help reduce the number of homeless animals.”

When someone purchases a gift, they will be provided with an instant unique Gift a Fix certificate code that is sent to the gift giver and optionally to the gift receiver via email. There are even printable gift cards, where the gift giver can write a special note and include the gift code. Within minutes, your gift recipient could have an animal in need on its way to getting a fix and ending a constant cycle of unwanted breeding. The GetYourFix team handles all of the details. They will contact the animal’s owner, help choose a clinic and set up an appointment, and then on the day of surgery provide payment to get the animal spayed or neutered. They will give the gift recipient ongoing updates during the process, until the fix is complete. Learn more at http://fixit-foundation.org/gift/.

“Our ultimate goal is to keep animals out of shelters and save the millions of lives lost to pet overpopulation every year,” said Dr. Heckman.

GetYourFix.org is a true spay/neuter community and offers important information and resources for all pet owners. Since inception, GetYourFix.org has facilitated the spay or neuter of over 1500 animals nationwide. Learn more at FiXiT-Foundation.org/GetYourFix.

About FiXiT
FiXiT is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit based in Norfolk, VA that was formed in response to the death of millions of cats and dogs every year in U.S. shelters. Current low cost spay/neuter efforts have placed us on a plateau with minimal change in the rate of euthanasia over the past 10 years. They knew that a new strategy was needed to stop this needless loss of life, one that was informed by strategic research and one that responds to the different perspectives of pet owners across the country.
