The best identification for a cat is a <br />microchip, but that should be voluntary with the pet owner, not a coerced decision with financial <br />penalties for choosing not to microchip.Fvcn though microchipping is the best identification for <br />a cat it is not fail proof. Michrochips move throughout an animals body and will not always <br />show, up on a scan. <br />Thank you for you attention to this matter. <br />Pero[ Kolons <br />Waikoloa, III <br />--------------------------------- <br />Do you Yahoo!? <br />With a free 1 GB, there's more in store with Yahoo!

Currently the holding period for cats is <br />24 hours. It usually takes at least 24 hours for an owner/feeder to notice if a cat <br />is missing. Please request that this 48 hour holding period be mandated for cats <br />as well <br />face=Arial>-Thc animal redemption fee is proposed to be raised from $10 to $25. You <br />may or may not know that when notified by the fill IS of the holding of an ear tipped <br />(i.e.nuetered cat), this redemption fee that we must pay is hardship enough after the <br />$65./$50. invested in neutering the animal. Please request that this fee should be waived <br />for AdvoCats because they have voluntarily and with private (not county) funds and <br />volunteer labor, undertaken a job which should be under the domain of the HIHS, but <br />duc to a lack of resources, these animals are euthanized unnecessarily because it is the <br />"cheapest" option. (This is a 150% increase in the redemption fee, which comes out of <br />pocket from the person who redeems the cat and tries to find its rightful owner.) <br />-Penalties for cruelty to animals which mentions dogs and cats have been <br />raised, which is a good thing, however, Section 4-29, regarding <br />"Injury or poisoning of dogs", should be reworded to include cats as well.
