Cat Gangs of East LA

CAT GANGS OF EAST LA

Near the 6th St. bridge in Boyle Heights, there is a cat gang that rules the streets. They roll 20 deep and are pretty damn cute, however, these are still wild animals. I witnessed 5 kittens tear apart a bird and drag it under the 6th street bridge, and an hour later, watched the same kittens nap and play under the streetlights. Mike, a guy that lives inside the bridge column, feeds the cats every day at 5pm.

CAT GANGS OF EAST L.A.

Near the 6th St. bridge in Boyle Heights (before it was torn down), there was a cat gang that ruled the streets. They rolled 20 deep and were pretty damn cute, however, these were still wild animals. I witnessed 5 kittens tear apart a bird and drag it under the 6th street bridge, and an hour later, watched the same kittens nap and play under the streetlights. Mike, a guy that lived inside the bridge column, fed the cats every day at 5pm. I believe this project helped nurture my love for pet portraits in the studio.
