Why We Spay/Neuter Every Cat We Can
“Cat overpopulation is a real thing, and the way to fix it is trap-neuter-return. Get your traps out, baby!”—Sterling “TrapKing” Davis You wouldn’t treat the symptoms of an illness without also treating the cause. In the same way, we can’t rescue our way out of the cat overpopulation problem, so we have to try to […]
The Cat Overpopulation Problem
What if someone told you that pet overpopulation isn’t real? That there are enough homes for every unwanted cat, and that spay/abort is unnecessary and inhumane? Those of us in animal welfare know those statements are not only wrong, they’re dangerous. In August 2025, LYFF convened a panel of animal welfare experts to clear the […]
Why 2 Are Better than 1
Many people come to LYFF and to other shelters or rescue organizations looking to adopt a cat or kitten. A single one. That’s great if you have other cats or even dogs at home. But if you don’t, you might not realize how much better it is—for you and for the felines—to adopt two. It’s […]

LYFF’s scope has grown […]
Kitten Season Means We’re Expecting!

Unfortunately, those of us in cat rescue don’t feel the joy of spring without also feeling the dread of Kitten Season. Especially in San Diego, where that season seems to start earlier and […]
LYFF Spotlight: Branch
In December 2023, when our founder saved Sabrina, a fluffy black senior cat, from a local shelter, she asked to be kept in the loop about the status of Sabrina’s siblings, because LYFF doesn’t like to leave family behind. When LYFF returned to the shelter in January 2024, it was to the news that, while […]
LYFF Joins Cat Community to Help Save Lives
As many of us in the animal rescue and advocacy world know, we can’t do it alone. It takes a full community to save cats—and LYFF is proud to be part of a grassroots effort happening right now in Orange County, CA! For more than a month, two women in Costa Mesa, CA, have been working tirelessly […]
