I have gotten no fewer than 3 inquiries from private equity about buying Animal Fix Clinic in the last *week.* I don’t even dignify them with a response anymore because clearly you did zero research if you want to acquire a nonprofit. But like… this is what’s happening with veterinary care. The vast majority are owned by PE. doctors have a quota for daily billing. Vet techs aren’t allowed to recommend spectrum of care alternatives while performing the vast majority of care and avoidable euthanasia. This is why people are burning out and leaving the field at a time when we’re facing a great veterinary shortage. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/as-veterinary-costs-climb-private-equity-ownership-of-clinics-draws-scrutiny

    and if you’ll allow me a shameless plug: *this* is why I’m so passionate about Animal Fix Clinic existing, thriving, expanding. We offer affordable, sliding scale vet surgeries that costs 1/10th of what PE would charge. Bid on some stuff in our Silent Auction or make a donation. We’ve got some great stuff in there and more will be listed on Sunday! https://givebutter.com/c/afc2026
