Description

Los Angeles has a crisis most people never see.

In this episode, Nathan Kehn, known online as Nathan The CatLady, exposes the brutal reality of animal rescue in Los Angeles, Skid Row, Spain, Nicaragua, and beyond.

What started as funny cat videos turned into a full scale rescue mission. Nathan breaks down how animals are being abused, bred, neglected, abandoned, and even used in horrifying conditions by people trapped in addiction, poverty, and criminal systems.

He shares what he saw on Skid Row, why LA’s animal rescue system is overwhelmed, how rescuers are burning out, and why the city’s failure to enforce basic laws is putting both people and animals in danger.

Nathan also opens up about rescue work overseas, including Spain’s galgo crisis, where dogs are used for sport and discarded in horrific ways.

This episode shows the side of animal rescue most people are not prepared to see.
