We help community members seeking support for both unweaned kittens (many of whom are put down the day they enter the shelter) and sick and injured community cats. Safe at Home empowers and educates these community members to serve as foster caregivers and play an integral part in saving animal lives. In 2023, Safe at Home saved 469 0-8 week old kittens and 46 cats and kittens over 8 weeks.

Safe at Home program saves the lives of kittens, who are the most often killed in shelters.
Unweaned, newborn kittens are an estimated 20% to 40% of the cats impounded in municipal shelters. If they require bottle feeding and no one fosters them immediately, these kittens are killed.
Safe at Home empowers community members to serve as foster care givers, playing an integral part in saving animal lives. At the South Los Angeles shelter, Stray Cat Alliance community engagement counselors intercept people, before kittens are impounded, and mentor and support them as fosters, providing training on all aspects from bottle feeding through adoption. We also supply all food and medical care. This is one of the few programs of its kind in the United States. It shouldn’t be. We would like to expand to as many communities as we can.
Care for Community Cats provides for the care and management of community cats in and around South Los Angeles by conducting targeted trap-neuter-return (TNR) in South Los Angeles neighborhoods, supporting trapping efforts, and providing expert guidance to members of the public on related issues. Through our online hotline, we support existing and self-identified community cat care givers in South Los Angeles by providing cat food to community feeders and connecting community members with other low cost medical resources.

Stray Cat Alliance’s successful pilot program in Long Beach, carried out in conjunction with Long Beach Animal Care Services (LBACS), has reduced the kill-rate in the city shelter and resulted in positive outcomes for community cats. Learn more.
Our Adoptions program provides foster and forever homes for cats and kittens found on the streets through TNR, impounded at the shelter, or from hotline requests for support when cats are faced with being taken to shelters or abandonment.
Many cats from our other programs feed into our adoptions program. Each cat and kitten receives veterinary care (spay/neuter, vaccines, testing, check-ups, microchips) until a permanent, loving home is secured.
We want to keep you up-to-date on our latest news and how your support is saving the lives of cats and kittens.
