Mission
Sante DOr is a no-kill animal adoption center serving the Los Angeles community, predominantly staffed by volunteers.
Program accomplishments
- Sant DOr Foundation rescues and rehabilitates homeless and abandoned animals in Los Angeles. Every animal that comes through our doors receives medical care, unconditional love, and a safe place to land. Those who are not adopted will always have a home with us.We are more than a rescue. Our doors are open to the community and we welcome walk-in visitors to meet our resident animals, learn about our programs and understand the animal crisis being faced in Los Angeles. We strongly advocate for low cost medical care, support independent rescuers where we can, and serve our community through TNR, adoption counseling and outreach during time of hardship and emergency.Through these efforts Sante DOr is not just saving lives but building a more compassionate community for animals in need.During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, 279 animals found forever homes.Expenses $441,358 · revenue $51,858
- The goal of the TNR Program is to stabilize and improve the quality of life and eventually reduce the population of feral and community cats. By preventing new litters of kittens and addressing the health of existing cats, TNR can lead to a more humane and manageable situation with improved life with less suffering, less competition for resources and less hardship. Our volunteer trappers extend their skills to trap ill and injured community cats and help them get treatment in addition to spay/neuter surgery. This program helps prevent overpopulation in the feline colonies and reduces the strain on shelters and animal rescues. This year brought a new challenge as the most popular spay/neuter clinic in the city closed their facility. There was a lapse in available appointments, but new clinics are opening making this a temporary lull.During the fiscal year ended February 28,2026 237 cats were trapped, 203 were released back to their colonies and 23 were homed through adoption with Sante DOr and an additional 10 were homed through other rescues or their original feeders.Expenses $32,645 · revenue $1,565
