Kitten Rescue from front page
Without hesitation, Sue took it in and named
the kitten Jackpot. He became Kitten Rescue’s
first foster kitten.”
Over twenty years later, Kitten Rescue
has saved and successfully adopted (found
homes for) more than 21,600 cats. Not to
mention, they provide a nursery, a sanctuary
and rehabilitation programs for hundreds
more on a daily basis.
“We can have 40 to 50 kittens at a time in
the nursery where they’re bottle fed,” says
Harrison. “It is really labor intensive because
it has to be every two to four hours. Plus,
it’s the beginning of kitten season, so we
have our nursery manager, Lindsay Reeves,
working with a full staff, servicing kittens
like clockwork.”
Like Harrison mentioned, “kitten season”
refers to the period between March and
October when most unaltered cats go into
heat. Especially in warmer climates, kitten
season can happen twice a year. A female cat
can actually go into heat any time during the
year, which is why rescue shelters have such
a hard time managing the overpopulation.
“Take feral cats, for instance,” says Harrison.
“In 2017, we also launched a ‘working cat’
program for feral strays. Overall, a feral cat
is an unsocialized cat, so just because they’re
a stray doesn’t necessarily mean they’re feral.
With a true feral cat, you can’t touch it
because they’ve been born wild and they’re
already wired that way. They’re untamable,
so the feral cats that we pull, we place them
in barns as working cats to catch mice and
do their thing on ranches and farms—getting
them out of the shelter and giving them a
chance to live happy lives.”
In fact, Harrison shares that 10% of all
feral cats aren’t feral at all. They’re only
scared, and through Kitten Rescue’s sanctuary—
rather than cats being euthanized by
shelters—they’re given a second chance to
acclimate into the world with loving owners.
Walking further back into the property at 3519
Casitas Avenue, the sanctuary takes on a rustic
atmosphere. In clean, cozy rooms, cats with
all kinds of stories and hardships walk freely
with a sense of compassion and playfulness.
The assistant manager at the sanctuary—
Kelly Milam—explains that the area is mostly
for “special needs” cats, but there’s some
adoptable cats here,” however, every cat is
up for adoption.
“Of course, there might be harder-to-place
cats here. Like when we get returns, this is
where they would come. In one case, the
foster parent herself was older and couldn’t
handle the cat anymore. About a year ago,
the cat then had an episode and became
blind. She’s on a lot of different medications
now, so we’re gonna try to place her with
another blind cat in the meantime—pairing
them together so they can feel more at ease,”
Milam explains.
Another rescue onsite is a 3-year-old brown
tabby named Charlie. His left eye is missing
and he has early signs of renal failure.
“His medical issues aside,” says Harrison,
“Charlie is a great cat! He loves people and
getting attention is his favorite thing! We
think he could do well in a home with a
laid back kitty, but we suspect he would be
happiest as an only-cat.”

“The more foster homes we have, the more
lives we can save, and that’s what Kitten
Rescue is all about,” says Harrison. •
In clean, cozy rooms, cats with all kinds of stories and hardships walk freely with a sense of compassion and playfulness. Charlie, a 3-year-old brown tabby cat with a missing eye, was rescued and has hope at being adopted.

Segundo, California 90245
The Raytheon Space and Airborne
Systems (Raytheon) would like to
notify you that the Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC) approved a
Class 1* Permit Modification in a letter
dated February 20, 2020, for Raytheon’s
Facility located at 2000 East El Segundo
Blvd., El Segundo Ca, 90245. DTSC
is the state agency responsible for
regulating the generation, storage,
treatment, and disposal of hazardous
waste in California.
Raytheon is a manufacturer and
assembler of electronic components
and accessories with a Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
Hazardous Waste Facility Permit (HWFP).
The Facility comprises approximately
134-acres of land zoned for commercial/
manufacturing uses. The RCRA permitted
unit, Hazardous Waste Storage Area, is
located at the south end of the facility.
On October 8, 2017, the HWFP expired
and hazardous waste management
activities ceased. Waste removal and
decontamination was conducted under
DTSC oversight in January 2019.
The Class 1* Permit Modification removes
five parcels (Parcels 13, 14, 19, 23, and
24, APN# 4138-032-013, APN# 4138-
032-014, APN# 4138-032-019, APN#
4138-032-023, and APN# 4138-032-
024, respectively) along the northeastern
boundary of the Facility being used as
parking lots and landscaped areas from
the RCRA Corrective Action Process and
from the RCRA HWFP #07-GLN-11. This
is an administrative boundary adjustment
due to the proposed sale of the five
parcels. There is no indication that any
contamination exists or has ever existed
on the parcels being removed from the
HWFP. These changes are a Class
1* Modification pursuant to California
Code of Regulations Title 22 Section
66270.42(a)(2).
