OLIVER (now called Flame) and TUCKER (now called Booty) were born under a house in a very dangerous part of Los Angeles. A woman noticed them and called our hotline, begging us frantically to come get them before it was too late. She explained that there were many gang members in the neighborhood and she feared for the lives of these two tiny kittens. Immediately one of our volunteers responded to her plea. Due to the fact that the neighborhood was indeed dangerous and unsafe, the volunteer had to be extremely careful. It took several attempts to crawl under the house and get the kittens, but she finally succeeded.
MARIEL was just a baby when someone dropped her and her siblings off at the local pound. The shelter was overcrowded and so it was decided that Mariel and her siblings were to be put to sleep. Thankfully one of our volunteers happened to there and rescued all of them. Mariel now lives with her new daddy who she is absolutely crazy about! She is a daddy’s girl. And her new best friend is a big gray and white tabby— they are inseparable.
ATHENA, a beautiful black lab mix, was given up by her original family because they didn’t have time for her. Athena is the kind of dog who needs lots of people time. When we took Athena under our care, we saw that she desperately needed training. She was playful and highly intelligent and always needed something to do and someone to be with. After working with her for a few months, Athena was adopted by sixty monks at the Self Realization Fellowship Center! Athena now has lots of land to run on, another dog to play with all day long and lots of people around her all the time to love and care for her.
Both Flame and Booty were starving, loaded with fleas, and severely dehydrated. After a few weeks of intensive vet care, both of them were adopted by two women who just simply adore them! Here is a photo of Booty, with her new mom.

ANGELINA, a beautiful pure white kitty, was found huddled in a dark corner of the downtown Flower Mart. Some very uncaring person had obviously dumped her there. When we first saw Angelina, she was terrified. She refused to leave her corner. It was as if she was waiting for her person to return and take her home. We sat patiently, offering her food and telling her that we would take her to a place that was warm and safe. Slowly she moved toward us, and we picked her up and put her in a carrier. It took a few weeks for Angelina to trust us. Then one day we brought her to our adoptions and Rachel, one of our student volunteers, and her mother fell in love with her at first sight. Angelina now sleeps with Rachel and adores her new family.
OMLET was a nervous kitty when she was brought to the Voice For The Animal's Adoption Site. Her owner was moving out of the country and could not take 1-year old Omlet with him. She was all alone and she'd never been socialized with other animals. Voice For The Animals stepped in and placed her in a foster home, and her foster mother loved her so much that she decided to take her in for good. Happily, this happens often.
MADELEINE and her babies (RASCAL, MAX, ANNIE AND BELLA) were a feline family living outdoors in the yard of a house owned by gangsters. When the police raided the house and put the gangsters behind bars, Madeline and her kittens were left in the yard without food or water. Luckily, a neighbor called our hotline, so we immediately jumped over the fence and rescued all five of them.
We are so happy to report that they all have all been discovered by wonderful, loving families. Here is a photo of Bella with her new mom.
