I am running for Team Kitten Rescue the 2018 Los Angeles Marathon

On Dec. 27, 2017, I found out that my cat (and soulmate) Beany was diagnosed with oral cancer. After having lost his brother two years ago to liver failure, my heart is, well, broken. I'm running for this charity because Beany, along with his brother Jack, were homeless kittens that were rescued off the streets. Little had I known at the time that they would be the most remarkable souls to ever come into my life. As Beany's health is slowly getting worse and in knowing that every moment I have left with him is a blessing, I'm running in support of Kitten Rescue's contribution to making sure these cats, and all homeless animals, have the opportunity to impact someone's life the way my two cats have done for me. Every step is for Beany and in memory of his brother, Jack. Every step is to help an animal see and feel the love they all deserve.

Thank you for your contribution to this effort.

Warmly,

Ryan Glass

More about the charity:

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.
