The Los Angeles Police Department have announced that they will have
off-duty officers teaming up this weekend with the non-profit group
Voice For The Animals (VFTA) to rescue several cats and kittens who have
been living on Skid Row.
The estimated 50 cats and kittens have lived in the area for several
years, and have been fed by members of a church at 7th and San Julian
that has now closed down.
Because of the church closing, kitties will have to fend for
themselves on the streets of Los Angeles; the new property owners have
made it clear they expect the cats to be gone from the premises by May
5, according to the LAPD.
While a few of the cats have already been rescued by VFTA, on
Saturday morning at around 5 a.m., LAPD officers off the clock will join
the group to locate and collect the remaining felines.
VFTA's Executive Directo, Melya Kaplan, says they will use traps that
are designed to handle feral and/or scared kitties. The LAPD adds that
the rescue operation will see to it the cats are placed in no-kill
shelters, evaluated, and ideally adopted into loving homes.
