Illinois legislators may soon introduce a bill that could cause the death of countless cats, roll back the state’s support for low-cost spay/neuter, and discourage colony caregiving. This disastrous bill would be a major blow to humane cat care in Illinois. We can’t let it pass.
Under the proposed legislation, any cat found outdoors could be considered “at large” and impounded at a shelter. The bill would also gut the state’s spay/neuter fund, which is crucial to helping low-income pet owners neuter their cats, and impose restrictions on feral cat caregiving. Together, this double whammy discouragesinstead of promotesresponsible pet ownership and Trap-Neuter-Return and puts more cats at risk.
Don’t let Illinois take this step backwards.
