I am running for Team Kitten Rescue in the 2018 LA Big 5K

I have been volunteering with Kitten Rescue since July of last year. Kitten Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of homeless animals. Each year they rescue over 1,000 cats (and some dogs!) from the streets and city shelters and place them into new homes. Kitten Rescue is on the forefront of making Los Angeles a No-Kill City and they will not stop until all of the shelters are empty and every animal has a loving home.

Kitten Rescue is comprised of dedicated volunteers who devote much of their time to helping homeless animals, while juggling their own families, jobs and lives as best as they can! At any given time you may find them bottle feeding orphaned kittens, nursing sick cats and dogs to health, visiting high-kill shelters to save animals, running back and forth to veterinary clinics, trapping community cats for spay/neuter, feeding community cats, taming feral kittens, rehabilitating animals with behavioral issues, taking foster animals to adoption events, or delivering animals to their forever homes.

The Kitten Rescue Sanctuary is home to up to 150 special needs cats and around 1000 animals are cared for in foster homes at any given time. In 2016 Kitten Rescue opened the Kitten Rescue Nursery, where they bottle feed orphaned, unweaned kittens around the clock.

As an animal lover, I felt I needed to give back to the well-being of the animals and the community who work on their behalf. Volunteering is important to me as a means of connecting with others and growing as an individual. By running the 5K on behalf of Kitten Rescue, I can use my interest in fitness to see that cats and kittens can get the medical treatments they need and eventually find forever homes.

Hopefully you share a similar interest in ensuring that animals in Los Angeles can find relief.
