To Governor John Carney for signing House Bill 235 to help decrease the feral cat population in the state of Delaware.

Feral cat colonies exist because man chose to neglect the important responsibility of spaying or neutering. This routine surgery is fundamental in humanely decreasing the number of feral cats. In a recent news article, Delaware Governor John Carney (D) signed House Bill 235 on October 1, 2018. This bill encourages caretakers of feral colonies to spay and neuter, as well as vaccinate, in the fight to decrease colony numbers. The bill also states that caretakers are not owners and protects them from any liability.

Take Action: Delaware residents thank Governor Carney for passing HB 235 to create a humane solution for combatting feral cat populations.
