One volunteer dedicated to finding adoptive homes, rescue groups or fosters to help make the South LA Shelter (highest euth cat shelter in LA) no-kill.

I am Kristen Larson, the primary cat volunteer at South LA. I love all these cats, from tiny newborn kittens to discarded seniors and all in between. We all failed them as society, whether not spaying and neutereing or seeking medical treatment or not cherishing our pets a a family member, but rather as property that can be discarded with the easiest excuse. Some do come as a rusult of death or a family tragedy. All reasons, the cats didn't ask for this only hope that we, as a society, can find them a way out the front door.
South LA direct phone number 213-485-0303 or 0214.

Supervisor city cell numbers Matt 213-305-4147, Javier 213-792-9343 and Leslie 310-701-1689. These are only for emergency pulls, medical information, etc. Not general information. Please use the above shelter numbers.

The shelter is located at 1850 West 60th Street, off Western between Gage and Slauson. I have been told over and over that this location stops people from coming to adopt, but I have been a volunteer for over 7 years without incident. In fact, I have met so many wonderful people that live in the area and that care for the well-being of the neighborhood animals.
