Today workers from Board-Ups Unlimited (818)368-9008 were at Rancho 
putting poles in the ground. These men led by Peter F. Stevens worked all day until late evening. The plan is to waste taxpayer's money and put up a chain link fence around the old abandoned buildings at Rancho. Why? My guess is that they want to seal off the area so Fail-Safe voluteers will no longer be able to get near the cats. They will not be allowed to trap, feed the cats, give the cats water, or even attend to a sick, trapped or injured cat.
In a time where money is so scarce, it's a surprise to me the LA County Supervisor Don Knabe would spend so much money in an attempt to keep Fail-Safe from interfering with their continued animal abuse against the cats. What will they think of next? We can't let this happen. They have boarded up the holes, used by the cats to hide, in the past and it ended up in the death of one cat. Difference is last time they didn't put a fence up first.
Keep calling Knabe (213) 974-4444 or e-mail Don@lacbos.org
Don't let them tell you the fence is for any other purpose. Why are they putting it up now that they are trying to trap the cats?
Why is the County spending money on a situation that can best be handled by Fail-Safe 4 Felines at no cost to the hard working American?
How can they assure us that the cats will be safe, when they have never cared about the safety of the cats?
What makes us think they will make sure all the cats are out of underneath the buildings before boarding them up when they don't so much as care if the cats have the basics, food and water?

Hello Amber,
In regards to the fencing issue, your claim that the cats are being fenced in without food or water is simply inaccurate. The Department is continuing to feed and water the cats inside the fenced area, and will continue to do so. As we have stated before, the goal is to not kill any cats but relocate them. And to date no cats have been euthanized. It is our hope that FailSafe and others continue there efforts to find homes for these cats, and assist the Department of Animal Care and Control with doing the same. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you further if you would like.
