Introduced in the House

May 15, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-19)

To authorize individuals or organizations including animal shelters to create a "community cat" program, under which “a community cat is humanely trapped, sterilized, vaccinated against rabies, ear-tipped, and returned to the location where it was found,” with the apparent goal of creating "community cat colonies" in which community cats and cats that are owned by individuals congregate together.

Referred to the Committee on Agriculture
