Help needed with rescued cats in Hawthorne
We posted last month about how the spca-LA assisted an elderly woman in the San Fernando Valley who had become overwhelmed with nearly 100 cats she'd taken in.
The animals were in good condition and now it turns out that several of them are up for adoption with a local rescue group in Hawthorne, A Cat's Tale (310-973-9353).
I spoke with Darla Schultz of A Cat's Tale last week (they work with the SPCA's Hawthorne shelter where many of the confiscated felines were taken) and she has several of the cats that she says would make excellent companions. They are a bit shy, she said, but would come around in time. Several would be good with older people.
"We put out a massive email asking people to help," Darla said, but so far few have stepped forward. She's hoping perhaps some other South Bay rescue groups can lend a hand.
Here are some of the cats they have from the incident:

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
