The Citywide Cat Program provides individuals and community groups with resources to spay and neuter free roaming cats in the the City of Los Angeles. On December 9, 2020, the Los Angeles City Council approved the Citywide Cat Program (CCP) to reduce the population of free-roaming cats in the City, and in February 2022, the City of Los Angeles Board of Animal Services Commissioners adopted the rules and regulations applicable to the trapping of cats pursuant to a trapping permit issued by the Department of Animal Services.īy engaging individuals and community organizations to humanely trap free-roaming cats, spay and neuter them, and then return the sterilized cats back to their outdoor homes - where they were found - will reduce the number of unowned, stray cats in our streets and shelters.
It’s one that leading animal welfare organizations, veterinarians, and researchers have developed progressive solutions to address. Caring for free-roaming cats, while working to stabilize and reduce their numbers, is one of the most complex issues facing animal shelters today. There is an estimated number of 960,000 free-roaming or unowned “community cats” in the City of Los Angeles.
