Clinic Building Put Up for Sale
What’s Happening?
As we announced in July, Animal Fix Clinic is planning to move this year to a building in Pinole, which we have purchased. Today we received a reminder of how important this move will be to our clinic’s future: Our current building in Richmond is being put up for sale. We have received notice that we will have to vacate the property. We may need to move in as little as 90 days, but that time could be extended, depending on circumstances. The board and clinic management are working on contingency plans now, so that clinic operations can continue without interruption. For now, our work of providing life-saving surgery to cats and dogs continues as normal.
What About the New Building?
Work has started to turn the former shelter in Pinole into a surgical clinic that meets our needs, but it will not be complete by the time our 90-day notice is up. We hope we will not have to move before the new clinic is ready in the second half of this year, but we are making plans in case that happens.
For more background information about our new clinic at 910 San Pablo Avenue in Pinole, see our fact sheet.
What Can You Do?
The most helpful thing you can do is support our work with a donation. You can make a tax-deductible donation to support our move!
We will keep you posted. If you have questions, you can email us at admin@animalfixclinic.org.
About Animal Fix Clinic
We are a nonprofit veterinary surgical clinic serving cats, dogs, and the people who love them.
Established in 1998, Animal Fix Clinic has saved or improved the lives of tens of thousands of animals.
We work to humanely end the overpopulation of cats and dogs in the San Francisco Bay Area by making high-quality spay/neuter and other crucial surgical care accessible to all, regardless of an animal’s caretaker’s ability to pay. As one of the only low/no-cost providers regionally, we see clients from across Northern California.
We are actively working to dismantle the economic barriers to veterinary care, which leaves behind low-income community members, often people of color. We offer sliding scale pricing, down to $0 when financially necessary. Our goal is to never turn a patient away for lack of caretaker resources; we have been successful in that goal since our reopening in 2017.
