It’s the Purrfect Time 
To Adopt or Foster a Cat and/or Kitten
From LA Animal Services!
Los Angeles, May 27, 2021 – Calling all cat and kitten lovers! Are you interested in adopting or fostering a feline friend? LA Animal Services has an abundance of cats and kittens ready to become a special part of your family! Adoption fees for cats and kittens are waived through a generous grant from the ASPCA. 
If you would like to adopt a cat and/or kitten, please follow these steps:

  • Visit laanimalservices.com/adopt and identify the cat you would like to adopt. 
  • Call 888-452-7381 with the Animal ID number or A# (example: A1234567). 
  • LA Animal Services will share all available information on that animal. 
  • If you are interested in moving forward with the adoption, LA Animal Services will take your information and schedule an appointment so you can meet the pet.
  • During the appointment, staff will introduce you to the selected animal. 
  • To follow COVID-19 safety protocols, social distancing will be observed and face coverings will be required during your scheduled appointment.
If you would like to foster a cat and/or kitten, please follow these steps:

  • Visit laanimalservices.com/adopt and identify an animal you would like to foster. 
  • Email the volunteer liaison at ani.volunteers@lacity.org with your completed foster application (if you have not fostered before), a picture of your government-issued identification with photo (i.e., driver’s license), and the Animal ID number(s) of the pets you are interested in fostering.
  • We will call you once your application is reviewed to schedule an appointment. 
If you have been approved to foster kittens with LA Animal Services, email your district's lifesaving liaison and Thomas Kalinowski at thomas.kalinowski@lacity.org to be set up with your foster kittens.

Be a foster volunteer lifesaver!

We’re always looking for foster volunteers who can care for bottle baby kittens -- kittens who are learning to eat on their own -- as well as sick kittens and moms with kittens. Help save the lives of these vulnerable felines. Be a foster volunteer lifesaver! Complete the foster application and email it to ani.volunteers@lacity.org.
