Stray cats: adoption: kittens.

Existing law governs the impoundment of stray cats. Existing law prescribes a holding period of 6 business days, not including the day of impoundment, for a stray cat impounded by a public or private or shelter, except as specified. Existing law, except as provided, requires a stray cat to be held for owner redemption during the first 3 days of the holding period, not including the day of impoundment, and to be available for owner redemption or adoption for the remainder of the holding period. This bill would authorize a kitten under 8 weeks of age that is reasonably believed to be unowned to be available immediately for adoption beginning on the day on which the kitten is seized, taken up, or impounded, through the entire holding period.
