StreetCats
Foundation
The Streetcats Foundation was
established not to capture stray cats along the streets and give
them a home like what the SPCA does in Singapore. Instead, this
organization caters to homeless children and those helpless teens
wandering the streets.
The Streetcats
Foundation began its mission in 1988. From its humble roots, it
grew to a non-profit corporation in 1991 and finally into a
tax-exempted 501C3 organization California Public Benefit
corporation in early 1993. Its work ranges from the streets of New
York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Streetcats Foundation
staff, working in their well-known blue and yellow colored jeeps,
capture teenagers who are addicted or abused. These are the youths
that other counselors, police and probation officers had given up
on. But with the help of time, effort and love, Streetcats have
worked miracles in piecing the lives of these teens back
together.
Even though supported
with little incentives and much government and police apathy, they
were still able to achieve extraordinary results.
