Seeks community’s help with donation, fosters

Los Angeles, CA — Kitten season is a hurricane at Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (spcaLA) where dozens of kittens, some too young to eat on their own, are arriving at spcaLA shelters. spcaLA received 118 kittens in the last two-weeks – 46 arriving in a 2-day period! spcaLA is seeking help from the community in the form of donations, needed items, and foster parents.

spcaLA seeks help during kitten season

“Right now, it’s a race to get them checked by medical and into foster homes, since the majority of the new arrivals are too young or underweight for adoption,” said Madeline Bernstein, spcaLA President. “It’s challenging, but we know we can handle it with help from the community.”

spcaLA is most in need of funds to be used for things like veterinary care and medicines; foster supplies, like kitten wet/dry food, litter, small beds, and carriers; and foster volunteers. People interested in helping can visit spcaLA.com/kittenshower for more information.

“If you’re thinking about expanding your family by four paws, now is a good time. Soon, we will have so many cats and kittens to choose from, you’ll definitely find your friend – or friends – for life,” said Bernstein.

spcaLA Pet Adoption Centers in Hawthorne and Long Beach are open Wednesday-Sunday, 11am-3pm. For directions and to view adoptable pets, visit spcaLA.com.
