Once-Loved Cats Marooned On Ocean Jetty

ONCE-LOVED CATS MAROONED ON OCEAN JETTY

We’re Seeking Donations to Save Them

A group of cats in Long Beach, California are stranded on a jetty after their outdoor shelter and feeding station were suddenly destroyed. With seagulls devouring the piles of kibble left out on the rocks and with rain and sandstorms on the way in the coming months, a crisis is brewing.

Some of the cats here have been living on the beach for years, but until recently, they had access to a sheltered area in the lifeguard station. It gave them a place to get away from the ocean during bad weather and a covered food supply. But the cats were recently evicted following a directive for increased security at the lifeguard station. With access to their �home� suddenly blocked, the cats had no choice but to make their way down the ocean wall with nothing but water ahead of them, yet nothing to turn back to.

At least some of these cats are former pets who were dropped off when their owners could not or would not take care of them any longer. Were they once loved? Some still wear collars, remnants of a time when someone cared enough to claim them as family, a time when someone gave them food and shelter.

We’re asking for help to build a temporary shelter for the cats while RESPONSIBLE, local foster homes and adopters are sought in Long Beach. The shelter and feeding station is also essential for the protection of other cats who are either dumped or find their way here.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
