Dead Cats Walking

I sent an email to Council and the Mayor with photos of the cats to be killed tomorrow and Wednesday in South LA. I wanted them to have faces added to the death figures. I got an email back from Kathy Davis, below.

All cats below are redlisted and will die by Wednesday unless adopted by a rescue group. This is your Los Angeles Animal Services at work without a No-Kill leader. Killing of cats is up 3,000 over last year. AND THE MAYOR DOES NOTHING: From Stacy Robbins 36 cats and kittens will die, some by Tue 8 AM and some by Wed. at South LA if not adopted. PLEASE call volunteer extraordinaire Stacy Robbins at 310-486-3811 or email at stacyarobbins@hotmail.com Look here so see the babies THESE ARE THEIR FACES: Picture Animal Description Shelter NICK A0936023 - MALE, WHITE AND BROWN TABBY DOMESTIC SHORTHAIR.

A1050797 Page 1 of 11 From Kathy: Thanks, Ed, for helping us further raise awareness regarding cats. They are the larger part of the problem we face. As you may know, we've experienced a 14% increase in impounds (up 6,688 dogs and cats) over the past 12 months, while our adoptions have increased by 23% (up 4,371 dogs and cats). Granted, our euthanasia has also increased by 3,945 dogs and cats as we, like many other organizations, are unable to adopt our way out of the continuing wave of impounds. We continue to look for ways to focus additional attention on our cats. So far this month, we managed to adopt out 771 cats. As you may also know, incoming underage kittens are a large part of our impounds. We've experienced a 25% increase in their numbers (1,694 additional kittens) over the past 12 months. Fortunately, the number fostered and adopted/rescued has increased by 784 kittens over last year. We are featuring a program right now at two of our Centers (Harbor and East Valley) that provides for a "2 for 1" discount on cats (only). The program is being funded through a generous donation by the Found Animals Foundation. We're hopeful it will help us send more great cats to great homes. We also reinstated the Buddy Program, where we can "buddy up" two cats (or dogs) for a discount adoption price. To summarize, in June 2009, we set a record for the highest number of adoptions, redemptions and impounds as compared to June for the past 5 years. It was the third highest number for euthanasia. Working collaboratively will drive all the numbers in the right direction. Please help us continue to promote the full equation to solve the problem. Thanks, Kathy
