- SAFE AT HOME: WE HELP COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT SEEK SUPPORT FOR UNWEANED KITTENS AND SICK AND INJURED COMMUNITY CATS. SAFE AT HOME EMPOWERS AND EDUCATES THESES COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SERVE AS FOSTER CAREGIVERS AND PLAY AN INTEGRAL PART IN SAVING LIVES. AT THE SOUTH LOS ANGELES SHELTER, STRAY CAT ALLIANCE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COUNSELORS INTERCEPT PEOPLE - BEFORE CATS AND KITTENS ARE IMPOUNDED - AND OFFER MENTORSHIP AND SUPPORT FOR THEM TO BE FOSTER CAREGIVERS. WE PROVIDE TRAINING AND SUPPORT ON ALL ASPECTS OF CARE, FROM BOTTLE FEEDING TO ADOPTION. WE ALSO PROVIDE ALL MEDICAL CARE AND, WHEN NEEDED, FOOD AND SUPPLIES. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW PROGRAMS OF ITS KIND IN THE UNITED STATES.Expenses $1,207,143

USING ADDRESS INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH OUR SHELTER-BASED INTERVENTIONS, WE TARGET THE CATS THAT HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL OF ENDING UP AT THE CITY SHELTER IN SOUTH LOS ANGELES. HEALTHY COMMUNITY CATS ARE FIXED, VACCINATED, MICROCHIPPED, AND EAR TIPPED; THEN THEY ARE RETURNED TO THEIR HOMES AND CAREGIVERS IN THE COMMUNITY.Expenses $715,536

WE PULL MORE OF THESE CATS FROM THE SIX LOS ANGELES ANIMAL SERVICES SHELTERS THAN ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION. WE ALSO ACCEPT CATS AND KITTENS FROM CARING COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WHERE RESOURCES ARE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE.
