Who here lives in the LA area?

Here's the story...

In "the other" cat group, rpch, there's a mean old guy (an @$$hole) who
adopted a precious little orange-stripey kitten. The kitten (the guy named
him Conan) developed an upper respiratory tract infection and the guy gave
him just 10 days to get well or back he would go to the high-kill shelter he
was "purchased" from. Well, yesterday was the 10th day and the poor little
kitty got sent back to the shelter for a "replacement" kitten (who, if he
knows what's good for him, will never get sick!).

Conan's story has broken the hearts of some of the nice people there and
they're trying to put together a rescue. They contacted the shelter and the
shelter staff said the kitten was recovering nicely and would be put back on
the adoption list this weekend. What's worrying is that he won't be adopted
right away and might be euthanized before anyone in the group can arrange
his adoption and transportation ("Mary" has offered to pay for his adoption
and travel expenses, (and others have offered to contribute to a PayPal
account for him), and she would like to take him if she can arrange it).

What's needed is just to know if there is someone close to the shelter who
could get him if need be in a hurry until any arrangements can be made for
his forever home.
