FRESNO (KMJ) – Orphaned kitties in the State of California could have a new chance at life.
California’s stray kittens can be adopted more easily, thanks to a new law signed by the governor on Wednesday.
It allows people to adopt kittens under eight weeks old at animal shelters, waiving a mandatory six-day waiting period that California had required for stray cats since 1998.
Cat advocates worried the holding period slowed the adoption process and decreased kittens’ chances of finding a home.
