Animal Advocates in Los Angeles, CA

Animal Advocates is a cat rescue based in Los Angeles, California, located in Los Angeles County, roughly a mile northeast of the city, alongside 124 other animal shelters and rescues in the county. Founded in 2002, it operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a registered California nonprofit corporation, run by a board of directors and permitted by the California Department of Fish & Game and the USDA. The organization, led by Mary Cummins, rescues and rehabilitates animals such as coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, opossums, skunks, squirrels, moles, voles, gophers, wild mice, wild rats, and bats, though it does not take in birds. It operates as a green, eco-friendly organization and relies solely on donations to fund its rescue and educational work with local shelters, schools, and other rescue groups throughout Southern California.
