Marina Del Rey, CA
A foster-based rescue on the Los Angeles westside placing cats and dogs saved from local shelters, working through volunteer foster homes rather than a facility.
$100 for cats ($450 for dogs, $550 for puppies under 10 months)
Stable housing, work-schedule flexibility, financial readiness for veterinary care, household agreement, and a mandatory home safety inspection.
Complete the adoption questionnaire, a volunteer arranges a meeting with the animal, a home safety check is conducted, then pay the fee and sign the adoption agreement before personal delivery to your home.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
At adoption events held the first and third Saturday of each month, 12:30pm-3:30pm excluding holidays, at Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies, 3860 S. Centinela Avenue in Los Angeles.
Cats are $100. For comparison the rescue charges $450 for dogs and $550 for puppies under 10 months.
No. Forte Animal Rescue is foster-based and works through scheduled adoption events rather than a walk-in facility.
