Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 2026, as Spay/Neuter Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to designate February 2026 as Spay/Neuter Awareness Month in New York State. It does not create new laws or requirements but aims to boost public awareness about spaying and neutering companion animals. The resolution highlights existing state efforts, including over 600 animal welfare organizations that already promote spay/neuter through adoption policies and subsidized services. It is a non-binding memorial to align with national awareness campaigns, focusing on reducing pet overpopulation and improving animal health outcomes.
