A deadly provision in an otherwise positive bill could result in cats in New Jersey being killed at animal pounds and shelters before owners or caregivers even know they’re missing.
Current New Jersey law requires animal pounds and shelters to hold cats and dogs for at least seven days to allow owners to reclaim their pets. But language in S 2923:
A part of the bill does benefit cats by expanding spay and neuter availability, but the language in this bill that could lead to the death of cats must be removed. Respectfully request Governor Christie conditionally veto S 2923 to save cats’ lives.
All cats deserve a chance to live and all caregivers and owners deserve a chance to save them.
