Legalizing Bodega Cats in NYC

14,000+ Signatures Int. 1471 NYC Council A08341 State Assembly

Bodega cats exist in a legal gray zone. State sanitary code bans animals in food establishments, which means owners can be fined for a cat that's been living in the store for a decade. Two bills in committee would fix that. Int. 1471 at City Council. A08341 at State Assembly. 14,000 people signed the petition that got them there.
