Default Rhode Island passes "spay it or pay it" law

Rhode Island has passed a law requiring cat owners to spay or neuter their
pets. Owners with pets over 6 months of age will be required to pay a fee
of $100 for a breeder's license and can be fined $75 per month. Subsidies
are available for low-income pet owners, and farmers are exempt.

Fortunately both my cats are spayed/neutered. The problem is that a lot
of cats are adopted outside normal channels and the state will NEVER
know about it.

My aunt lives in Coventry, RI and there's a large feral cat colony in
the area. Of course there must be tons of inbreeding, etc. because there
isn't any new membership to the colony.

Is there a chapter of Alley Cat Allies in Coventry? If so, they are an
excellent organization to contact for TNR (trap/neuter/release) of feral
cats. This helps to reduce pet overpopulation. Our local chapter also
maintains feeding stations.

Another public message in the form of an idiotic slogan.

How is paying your cat the equivelent of spaying your cat?

The "it" in the title was a direct quotation from the CNN article.

Yes, I know, that's who I meant (whoever dreamed up the slogan - not the
OP). Sorry I should have been clearer.

"Spay or pay" would have been better and catchier.

Yes, much better slogan. CatNipped also caught the reference to "it" (a
designation I also very much dislike, especially when someone refers to his
or her own cat as "it").

Besides, kitty would only be an "it" after being neutered.
