“I encourage all Georgians to vote for their favorite cats. I did!” said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin.
The new Feline Friend License Plate will be sold in addition to the current dog and cat license plates beginning in December 2008. The dog and cat license plates are the primary funding source for the Dog and Cat Sterilization Program (DCSP). The program provides subsidies for spay/neuter procedures performed by licensed and accredited veterinarians in all Georgia counties. More than 35,000 spay/neuter procedures have been performed since 2003 through the DCSP. More than $22 from each license plate sold directly benefits the program which saves taxpayers money by curbing dog and cat overpopulation.
