SAVING THE UNSEEN
Street-level rescue for injured, abandoned, and overlooked cats living on the streets of Los Angeles.
Every number represents a cat pulled from the streets — and a future rewritten.
We are actively breaking the cycle of feline suffering through rescue, foster care, adoption, and humane TNR.
Real Impact. Real Lives Changed.
What you see here is real.
No filters. No staging. Just the day-to-day reality of street-level rescue.
Rescue, As It Happens.
There’s More Than One Way to Save a Life.
Whether you have time, space, or resources — your help changes outcomes for cats who have nowhere else to turn.
Open Your Home. Change a Life.
Every adoption frees space for the next rescue. When a cat leaves foster care for a loving indoor home, it creates a ripple effect ~ one life saved becomes two.
Be the Bridge Between Rescue and Home.
Foster homes are the backbone of our rescue work. Whether it’s a kitten, a medical recovery, or a cat decompressing after life on the streets ~ fostering saves lives.
Fuel the Rescue.
Medical care, food, transport, and supplies add up fast. Donations allow us to respond immediately ~ especially in urgent or high-risk situations.
Not ready to adopt or foster?
Volunteers, transport drivers, and recovery spaces are always needed.

Recognized for Work That Saves Lives
Del Gato Rescue doesn’t chase attention — the work brings it.
From frontline street rescues to large-scale foster coordination, our mission has drawn the interest of local and national media who recognize the urgency facing community cats in Los Angeles. These stories help amplify the reality behind rescue work — the stakes, the challenges, and the lives changed when action replaces indifference.
If you’re a producer, journalist, or host looking to spotlight meaningful, community-driven impact, we’re always open to conversations that help more cats get seen, supported, and saved.
Saving the Unseen Isn’t Easy. It’s Necessary.
Del Gato Rescue exists for the cats most people never see ~ the injured, the overlooked, the ones living quietly in alleys, yards, and forgotten spaces across Los Angeles.
We don’t operate a shelter. We don’t have paid staff. Every rescue, foster placement, transport, and recovery happens because people choose to show up. Slowly. Carefully. Relentlessly.
This work isn’t glamorous ~ but it saves lives. And it only continues because people like you choose to show up.
