Luxe Paws is a grassroots team of part-time community volunteers, laser-focused on ensuring cats in our corner of L.A. have access to a spay or neuter. Our mission is no more homeless kittens and fewer cats who need to be sheltered or rescued from the streets of L.A.

Community volunteers donate their time to Trap/Neuter/Return or “TNR” because spay/neuter has been proven the most effective way to address cat overpopulation.

Our ability to rescue the most at-risk cats or kittens from the street depends solely on volunteer fosters and adopters who team up with us to save lives.

Our goal is to increase access and awareness for spay/neuter so anyone can get involved in driving meaningful change and improve the welfare of cats in their corer of L.A.

WHY SPAY/NEUTER ?

L.A. is home to an estimated 3 million homeless cats and just 4.9 million people. Many people see strays, but aren’t aware that 1 female cat can have 12-16 kittens PER YEAR. Kittens are going into heat as young as 5-6 months old, so half a dozen cats will quickly blossom intO 20 or more in just 12 months.

So what’s the most humane way to control the population of homeless cats & why not just try to adopt them all out? a majority of the “homeless cats’ haven’t been socialized with humans, they’re wild or ‘feral’ and if they’re trapped & taken to a shelter, almost all are killed.

spay/neuter & is the most humane way to reduce the growing number homeless cats & reduce shelter intake.
