Euthanasia rates of cats and kittens are on the rise at L.A. city animal shelters

Jen Naitaki, senior advisor for the Michelson Center for Public Policy, another nonprofit founded by Michelson focused on policy change in California and Los Angeles, said the city’s free and low-cost spay and neuter vouchers run out quickly every month. Most kittens and cats brought to the shelter are strays, or so-called community cats without clear owners.
