Luxe Paws is a grassroots team of part-time community volunteers, laser-focused on ensuring cats aren’t denied access to spay/neuter.

Our ability to rescue the most at-risk cats or kittens from the street depends solely on the support we have from volunteer fosters, adopters and our local community.

Our goal is to increase access and awareness for spay/neuter and galvanize more community members to get involved in proven ways to improve the welfare of cats. To date, we’ve fixed over 18,000 cats here in our tiny corner of the city of Los Angeles.

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 can go 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 and create a more humane community.
