SHOULD BODEGA CATS BE LEGAL IN NY?
On the June 29, 2025 episode of Animal Matters at 9 AM ET on @WBAI 99.5 FM NY, hosts Jeff Simmons @jackhites and Carlos @menchaca discuss the debate over whether bodega cats should be legal in New York State.
But first, the hosts are joined by Amy Attas @dramycitypetsvets, Founder of City Pets Vets @citypetsvets about how to address pet anxiety around fireworks this July 4th.
Then, Dan Rimada, Founder of @bodegacatsofnewyork, joins the show to discuss his efforts to support bodega cats; and in the second halfof the show, NYC Councilmember Keith Powers @keithpowersnyc - who recently announced he'd introduce legislation to legalize bodega cats - calls in.
Give us a call during the show at (212) 209-2877. And please visit give2wbai.org to donate to @wbainyc to support the show and the station. We rely on listener contributions to stay on the air.
