Selling Secrets To Spies | Abused Cat Saved | L.A. Risks $583M In Revenue | Hero Dogs Awarded | L.A. County Patch PM

Share-worthy stories from across the Southland Patch cities to talk about tonight:

In the South Bay, Redondo Beach neighbors rallied together to save a neglected cat, who was found with a swarm of flies surrounding him. His collar cut so deep into his leg that his maggot-infested wound left him feeble and in pain. This touching story will leave you feeling a little more hopeful.

Also in the South Bay, a Hermosa Beach 'psychic' was sentenced for tax fraud. The man with mystic abilities was sentenced to six years and his wife, who was also involved in the tax fraud, will spend two years behind bars. Funny enough, he couldn't predict his future in prison.

The American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards were just awarded. Take a look at seven of the winners from this year including Abigail, who was found as a stray in Miami missing half of her face.

According to a new study, Los Angeles must step up when it comes to new housing, or the City will be at risk of losing $583 million in revenue. The goal of 15,000 affordable units of 100,000 planned new units may complicate existing housing crisis if changes are not implemented.

For the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley, some exciting news: UberEATS is now available near you. Too tired to cook dinner? There's an app for that.

In a twisted turn of events, a Culver City man sold secrets to someone he believed to be a 'Russian spy.' To make matters worse, the man's espionage plans included a plot to murder his wife.
