Architects for Animals’ “Giving Shelter,” a benefit for FixNation, will be hosted in Los Angeles for the first time ever where some of Los Angeles’ architecture and design firms will unveil the most inspired outdoor cat shelters imaginable.
The shelters will be on display to the public during a unique one-night exhibit and cocktail reception on Wednesday, Sept. 10, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at The Herman Miller Showroom in Culver City.
“The architectural community in Los Angeles is outstanding,” Co-founder and Executive Director of FixNation Karn Myers said. “We are so grateful to the participating design firms who are generously devoting their talent, creativity and compassion in support of FixNation. Because of FixNation’s programs and the dedication of hundreds of volunteers across the city and county, many cats are able to live healthier, happier lives.”
The event will benefit FixNation, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to minimizing cat populations through humane non-lethal Trap-Neuter- Return (TNR).
Some of Los Angeles’ top design firms participating include Wolcott Architecture | Interiors, Abramson Teiger Architects, Standard Architecture | Design, d3architecture, DSH// architecture, Formation Association + Edgar Arceneaux, HOK, LEHRER ARCHITECTS, NAC architecture, Perkins and Will, Pfeiffer Partners Architects, RNL, RTKL, and Space Int’l. Jackson Galaxy, host of Animal Planet’s hit show My Cat From Hell and FixNation board member will be in attendance.
