LOS ANGELES, CA - By January 1st, the owner of the historic U-Pick Parts Junkyard in Sun Valley CA, Nathan Adlen plans to close up shop after more than 50 years.
“There’s probably 30 different reasons:” Adlen said, “The point is my plate’s full and I”m trying to make my plate less full.”
This place has not only been home for these cats, it has also been a backdrop for many films and tv shows. in 1998, Usher had a train car painted to look like a boom box in one of his music videos. The junkyard was also featured in a recent episode of Supergirl.
“When I first found out, it was super overwhelming,” Beth Eilers said. Eliers had been feeding and taking care of these cats for about three years. Most of them but not all, she says, have been spayed and neutered.
“My fear is that the cats we don’t find a place for, hat they’re going to go out on the streets and get hit by cars are worse,” Eilers said.
Fellow animal advocate Kristi Schneider stated the have created a Facebook Page called “Hollywood Junkyard Cats” in an effort to get them adopted. The page features pictures of most of the cats there and as much information about them as they could post.
Please share, to help draw more attention and awareness to these famous kitties in need.
