Attention!!! After the screenreader description there is a second description that houses important information about service cat laws. I am not a kawyer, please talk to one (or your appropriate state organization) if you want further clarity. Screenreader description: A brown and white fluffy cat sits in a black cat stroller outdoors. A white passing person scratches their leg gently to simulate a medical episode, the cat looks away from whatever was distracting him and paws at the persons leg to get them to stop. This happens 3 times total. End of screenreader description! This is my service cat in training, Scotty. We live in a state which grants service cats public access under local anti-discrimination laws. I will not be sharing my location. This information is private and not something you need to know. Some states choose to provide service cats public access rights and I support that, but also advocate for the ADA to change to protect service cats. 28 CFR 35.103 of the official ADA Supplementary Information states "This part does not invalidate or limit the remedies, rights, and procedures of any other Federal, State, or local laws (including State common law) that provide greater or equal protection for the rights of individuals with disabilities or individuals associated with them.” This allows states to expand disability protections like service dogs in training or service cats. Ohio, Oregon, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, Snohomish County, Washington, King County, Washington, the city of Spokane, Washington, and the city of Hesperia, California all allow service cats under their own local anti-discrimination laws.

I understand that it can be difficult to believe claims that contradict what your own research has turned up, so hopefully this will enable you to research the same laws that I did and form your own conclusions separately. #servicecatintraining #servicecat #tasktrained #catsoftiktok #cattraining
