Mission Statement
Stray Cat Alliance educates and empowers the community to advocate for every cat’s right to be safe, healthy and valued. We are building a no kill nation, one stray at a time.
About This Cause
Stray Cat Alliance envisions a time when all cats are valued and safe whether in homes or communities, and when shelters serve as temporary safe havens. Stray Cat Alliance's programs include: Safe at Home (served 750 unweaned kittens in 2020) empowers people to save the lives of kittens by fostering, thus reducing their intake at the shelter. Our community engagement counselors intercept the public at the entrance to the South Los Angeles Shelter (in full collaboration with the city and the shelter) before they impound underage and/or unwanted kittens. If the community member agrees, the counselors mentor and support the community member from bottle feeding through adoption. Stray Cat Alliance pays for all supplies and medical care. Return to Home (formerly Return to Field) (served 1,750 cats in 2020) is an innovative program that reduces the death rate of healthy community cats trapped and brought into shelters. Stray Cat Alliance’s RTH program was the first in Southern California and among the first in the United States. Stray Cat Alliance sterilizes healthy community cats that have been impounded at Long Beach Animal Care Services (in full collaboration with the shelter) and returns them to their neighborhoods. In 2019, Stray Cat Alliance continued to expand its RTH program to partner with Orange County Animal Care and the City of Garden Grove. Public education and outreach underscore the positive impact of spay/neuter of community and loosely or fully owned cats. Stray Cat Alliance also conducts advocacy, loans traps to the community for Trap/Neuter/Return, funds medical care and does community outreach. Adoptions (adopted 1,817 cats, an approximate 8% increase over 2019) provides foster and forever homes for cats and kittens found on the street during Trap/Neuter/Return, impounded at the shelter, or from our hotline(email, phone, text) when cats are faced with being taken to shelters or abandonment. We use innovative, best practice approaches to adopt kittens and cats, including three cat cafes in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, pet supply stores, NKLA Pet Adoption Center, via the internet and at adoption events. In 2020, Stray Cat Alliance took 1,913 cats and kittens into foster care who were eligible for adoption; and we served approximately 4,397 cats and kittens (Adoptions, Care for Community Cats, Return to Home for Community Cats and Safe at Home) across all our programs. Care for Community Cats (served 15,849 cats) empowers community members to directly make a difference in the lives of cats in their neighborhood. The hotline (via email, phone, text, etc.) provides education, advocacy and training on Trap/Neuter/Return, adoptions, rescue, medical assistance and resources. Our hotline serves people throughout Los Angeles, the US and around the world.
