My email testimony to the NYC Council on the State of Animals in NYC Kitty & Doggie

I am a NYC native and a lifelong pet lover. I was fortunate to grow up with Cindy the poodle in my family.

Currently, I am a proud human to Shalom, a cockapoo, and Blessing, a black and white Maine C**n beauty, I adopted at the NYC Animal Care Center in Manhattan; Esperanza, calico beauty I rescued from a lot in the South Bronx; and two chirping budgies, Peace and Lovely. I love our sanctuary. Our home. I can't imagine my home without pets.

I am the editor and publisher of my pet media and marketing project, Kitty & Doggie News, part of Clarisel Media, a registered business in the Bronx. I am a NYC ACC ambassador promoting adoptions/fostering, pet vaccine clinics, pet-friendly events, spreading the word on lost and found pets, fighting animal cruelty, and spaying and neutering services with my online networks. I am also an elections team member of the Voters for Animal Rights.

We need the City Council to step up and allocate funding that NYC desperately needs to cover the real costs of spay/neuter programs and veterinary care for those in need, to alleviate the financial pressure currently placed on individuals and organizations doing the work, and to address the abandonment of animals at the NYC Animal Care Center shelter crisis (especially relating to pit bulls, huskies and other big dogs as well as cats).

With the building of new housing (of different income levels) throughout the city, please push, support, and encourage landlords to allow pets and lift discriminatory pet weight requirements and bans. We need more pet services including vets and businesses in the Bronx. New Yorkers should not be forced to give up their pets at the shelter because they won a lottery to get a new apartment. Pets are family too!

Please make NYC more pet-friendly and healthier for everyone no matter the income. New Yorkers love their pets, and we need politicians who help promote pet-friendly legislation and animal rights causes to make our city more liveable.

Thank you for your attention.

Consequently, for the same expense you can obtain a full exam at the Vet Mobile in addition to the routine vaccinations, and you can even pick and choose which vaccinations to do according to your budget. ⭐Vaccinations range between $20 - $35, with the two basic core vaccines costing $25 each⭐
