spcaLA's South Bay Pet Adoption Center is the beneficiary of a memorial tribute made in honor of Charlotte Ann Tanouye by her husband, Brian.

"Charlotte would be so happy to have her name associated with kitten area at spcaLA," Mr. Tanouye said. "While she cared for all animals, and worked with many, most of her time and effort was spent on kittens. Many were ill; some were only days old. She nursed and fostered them all until they were old enough to be adopted."

spcaLA offers Brian Tanouye our deepest sympathy for his loss and gratitude for his generosity. We are proud to honor Charlotte Ann Tanouye's memory by dedicating South Bay's kitten room in her name.

How can YOU help feed homeless pets one postcard at a time? Create a handmade postcard featuring a photo of your pet and mail it to the Pet Postcards Project. Cards can be weird, funny, sad, cute, even more cute, profound, but above all, filled with LOVE for your pet!
