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.Timestamps:00:00 Welcome Nathan!02:12 How Nathan Became The Cat Lady06:35 Turning Cat Content Into A Rescue Mission10:48 Animal Testing, TNR, And Rescue Work15:22 The Horrors Happening On Skid Row20:14 LA’s Homeless Crisis And Animal Abuse25:06 Why Rescuers Feel Abandoned By The City30:18 The Galgo Crisis In Spain35:42 Compassion Fatigue In Animal Rescue39:28 Flying Animals To Safety Across The Country42:16 How People Can Actually Help44:10 Where To Follow Nathan And Support The MissionFollow US!Brian's LinksInstagram: / https://www.instagram.com/briangoldphd TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@briangoldphd Makan's LinksInstagram: / https://www.instagram.com/Makan.Mostafavi TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@makanmostafaviNathan’s Links:Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/nathanthecatlady/ Linktree: / linktr.ee/nathanthecatladyFacebook: / https://www.facebook.com/nathanthecatlady/ #NathanTheCatLady #AnimalRescue #SkidRow #LosAngeles #CatRescue #DogRescue #TruthHurtsShow #AnimalAbuse #RescueAnimals #TNR #HomelessCrisis #CaliforniaHosted on Ausha.
