AJAX with loop filtering categories

I know this is old, this looks exactly what I need, but isn’t working ATM.

I paste everything on functions.php for a reason.

ONE: Category Loop for theme file: Printed it with a shortcode, because i’m using bakery I wan’t to put it in an specific place in the site. This is Working fine.

 <?php 

    function ajaxcatloop( $atts, $content = null ) {

    $categories = get_categories();  

    $output .= '<article id="main" class="five seventh padded">';

    $output .= ' <ul id="category-menu">';

    foreach ( $categories as $cat ) {

    $output .= '<li id="cat-'.$cat->term_id.'"><a class="'.$cat->slug.' ajax" onclick="cat_ajax_get("'.$cat->term_id.'");" href="#">'.$cat->name.'</a></li>';

    }
    $output .= '</ul>';
    $output .= '<div id="category-post-content">';
    $output .= '</div>';
    $output .= '</article>';

    return $output;

    }

    add_shortcode( 'loopajax', 'ajaxcatloop' );

     ?>

TWO: The jquery code that was in theme file: In indexing it in the footer to avoid jquery issues.
IDK if this is working, but its getting placed in its place

    <?php add_action('wp_footer', function(){ ?>

<script>
function cat_ajax_get(catID) {
    jQuery("a.ajax").removeClass("current");
    jQuery("a.ajax").addClass("current"); //adds class current to the category menu item being displayed so you can style it with css
    jQuery("#loading-animation-2").show();
    var ajaxurl="<?php echo admin_url("admin-ajax.php'); ?>';
    jQuery.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: ajaxurl,
        data: {"action": "load-filter", cat: catID },
        success: function(response) {
            jQuery("#category-post-content").html(response);
            jQuery("#loading-animation").hide();
            return false;
        }
    });
}
</script>


  <?php
});

?>

THREE: Placing AJAX code where it supose to be.

    add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_load-filter', 'prefix_load_cat_posts' );
        add_action( 'wp_ajax_load-filter', 'prefix_load_cat_posts' );
        function prefix_load_cat_posts () {
            $cat_id = $_POST[ 'cat' ];
                 $args = array (
                'cat' => $cat_id,
                'posts_per_page' => 10,
                'order' => 'DESC'

            );

            $posts = get_posts( $args );
                    global $post;

            ob_start ();

            foreach ( $posts as $post ) {
            setup_postdata( $post ); ?>


<article class="post">
    <!-- Display the Title as a link to the Post's permalink. -->
    <h2><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/124504/<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <!-- Display the date (November 16th, 2009 format) and a link to other posts by this posts author. -->
    <div class="row pad-bottom">
    <!-- Display a comma separated list of the Post's Categories. -->
    <small class="postmetadata pull-left"><?php the_category(', '); ?></small>
    <small class="date pull-left"> Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?> on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></small>

    </div>
    <!-- Display the Post's content in a div box. -->
    <article id="entry">
        <?php the_content('Read More here...'); ?>
    </article>
</article> <!-- closes the first div box -->
<!-- Stop The Loop (but note the "else:" - see next line). -->
 <?php } wp_reset_postdata();

       $response = ob_get_contents();
       ob_end_clean();

       echo $response;
       die(1);
       }
?>

I’ve Copy the same exact code just placed in a different way of need

But when I click one of the categories it trows me this error, in this line and nothing happens.

<article id="main" class="five seventh padded"> <ul id="category-menu"><li id="cat-8"><a class="carnes ajax" onclick="cat_ajax_get("8");" href="#">Carnes</a></li><li id="cat-9"><a class="comida-saludable ajax" onclick="cat_ajax_get("9");" href="#">Comida Saludable</a></li><li id="cat-3"><a class="jugos ajax" onclick="cat_ajax_get("3");" href="#">Jugos</a></li></ul><div id="loading-animation" style="display: none;"><img src=""/></div><div id="category-post-content"></div></article>
