    California AB 1634, proposing mandatory neuter/spay of all cats and dogs over the age of 6 months, was withdrawn by the author (Assembly Member Lloyd Levine) during a hearing of the Senate Committee on Local Government on July 11, 2007. We thank you all for your help and support! The bill will be reintroduced in January, 2008. Read our legislative alert for direction on what to do now. July, 2007


    The Cat Fanciers' Association supports the use of low-cost neuter/spay programs and recognizes the need to fund these programs in innovative ways. Several states now offer vanity automobile license plates as a source of money to increase awareness of neutering or spaying cats and dogs as well as to provide a pool of funds for low-cost or free neutering programs.


    We have developed a series of CFA logo buttons/banners that can be downloaded and placed on any web site as a link back to the CFA web site. Please feel free to download and use any of the buttons/banners we have available.
