Attention!!! After the screenreader description, there will be a second description with additional information about service cat laws. (I'm not a lawyer though, I just google things. Please consult legal professionals.) The text on screen is described in the alt text of the images. There wasn't enough room to describe the image fully so please excuse the seperate screenreader description. Screenreader description: image 1: A brown and white cat, lying on a bed, stares directly at the camera as he's backlit by an orange lamp. image 2: A brown and white cat, lying on a grey soft looking pillow, stares off into the distance, facing your left. The lighting is bright and his blue eyes are dilated. His matching blue name tag is featured prominently. image 3: A close up picture of a brown and white cat staring into the camera sleepily, the details of his facial fur are very defined and the contrast between his white body and dark brown face is emphasized. image 4: A brown and white cat twists his body to stare off to his right side as he lays on a bed. image 5: A brown and white cat stares directly into the camera as he's pictured from a top down angle, his fur is highly contrasted and the angle makes him look very dramatic. image 6: A brown and white cat rests his head on a pillow that is covered in a multicolored quilt. The angle of the photo emphasizes the flat face typical of his breed. image 7: A brown and white cat sleeps curled up on top of a blue, highly textured, couch. image 8: A brown and white cat with striking blue eyes, lays in the arms of someone wearing a purple shirt as he stares directly at the camera. image 9: The brown and white cat sleeps draped over the top of a textured blue couch. 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.
