New York City Council member Keith Powers has introduced a bill to legalize the presence of bodega cats in convenience stores across the city. Previously considered a violation of health codes, this legislation will repeal existing fines and create a program for free vaccinations for registered bodega cats. Recognized for their role in controlling pests and adding character to neighborhoods, bodega cats will finally receive the formal acknowledgment and veterinary resources they deserve, enhancing their status as beloved local fixtures.
Bodega cats are more than pest controllers - they are neighborhood ambassadors, weaving connection and character into the fabric of New York City.
This legislation will not only repeal the existing law and fines, but also provide resources to ensure that the cats receive regular veterinary care.
