L.A. shelters see rising cat euthanasia rates
Euthanasia of cats and kittens in Los Angeles shelters increased significantly in the first half of the year, with nearly 900 kittens and over 1,100 adult cats euthanized compared to the previous year. The rise is attributed to an influx of stray and community cats and limited funding for spay and neuter programs, which activists say could help reduce the population. Despite increased budget allocation for sterilizations, demand for vouchers remains high, and experts highlight that preventing kitten births is essential to addressing the shelter overload.
