Downey, CA
The Southeast Area Animal Control Authority, a joint powers agency based in Downey that provides animal control and sheltering for a group of southeast Los Angeles County cities under contract.
Cats 6 weeks-12 months: $120; cats 1-5 years: $100; cats 5+ years: $60
Adoption fees cover the first set of vaccinations, a microchip and flea treatment. Cats are spayed or neutered, though some adoptions require an additional spay/neuter deposit.
Animals are held for a set period to allow owners to reclaim lost pets; prospective adopters may place a hold during this time. Once unclaimed animals become available, complete paperwork and payment to receive a release date and time.
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.
Cats from 6 weeks to 12 months are $120, cats 1 to 5 years are $100, and cats over 5 years are $60.
