Los Angeles, CA. The Los Angeles Marathon is Kitten Rescue’s largest fundraiser each year, and the funds raised are essential in allowing the nonprofit to save homeless cats and kittens all year long. Kitten Rescue is an Official Charity for the 2021 Los Angeles Marathon presented by ASICS.
There are three marathon events so supporters can and run or walk to help homeless animals. Here’s a link to the registration page: https://kittenrescue.org/events/los-angeles-marathon/
The nonprofit is also always looking for volunteers. Here’s a video about that opportunity:

From Kitten Rescue:
Kitten Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization devoted to finding loving homes for unwanted, homeless cats and kittens. We rescue cats and kittens from the streets of Los Angeles and from City Shelter euthanasia. Since our start in 1997, we have grown into one of the largest, most well-respected animal welfare groups in LA.
Kitten Rescue volunteers adopt out over 1,000 cats and kittens into homes every year. Since we began, we have rescued and placed over 21,000 cats into loving homes. Thousands more have been helped through our volunteer-fueled education and outreach programs.
We educate the public about responsible pet guardianship, how to care for kittens and cats, and the importance of spaying and neutering. Kitten Rescue makes educational material available via events, print, school presentations and here on our website. We also provide Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance for communities in and around Los Angeles, and teach people how to manage and care for feral cat colonies.
