Provides for spaying and neutering stray or feral cats and establishes fund therefor; designated as "Compassion for Community Cats Law."

S 384, the "Compassion for Community Cats Law," establishes a state fund to support humane management of community cats. It requires animal shelters and rescue organizations to spay or neuter cats before adoption (with limited exceptions for very young cats or health reasons), and creates a fund administered by the Department of Health to provide grants to municipalities for trapping, sterilizing, vaccinating, and returning community cats to their original locations. Moneys collected from civil penalties for violating the spay/neuter requirement ($1,000 per violation) will be deposited into this fund. The law directly affects shelters/rescues (requiring spay/neuter), municipalities (receiving grants), and community cat caregivers (defined as those providing care like food or shelter).
