TNR in Boyle Heights and East LA

I initially started to TNR with the cats that I fed in my yard, and had taken Lazlo, a grey tabby to Fix Nation to get fixed. I had previously TNR-ed in NYC when I was a teenager and knew that it was important to fix the cats you feed.

In The News

“What’s involved is a lot of communication with cat feeders and potential fosters, early mornings and late nights setting out traps and waiting for them to work, time spent fundraising for supplies and food, and the effort it takes to find spay/neuter appointments and vets that will accept vouchers the city of L.A. offers through the Citywide Cat Program. Then, when cats have been fixed, she’s back 24-48 hours later to pick them up.” from “How to LA: ‘Kitten season’ sounds cute, but it’s one of the toughest times for LA’s cat crusaders’”
