Gayef,
Where in Virginia is this ordinance? In one city or statewide?
There are multiple states working on/passing dog/cat breeder laws. Some make sense, some are vary restrictive. Some also cover shelter's, rescue home's and boarding facilities, depending on the state. New York, you're inspected if you sell more than 9 pets, effective July 2002, Wisconsin if you sell more than 25, effective 2004, Calif. law gets worse every day. Some include cats, some don't.
>>>>>>a new ordinance was put into law. This law makes it mandatory for cat (and dog breeders too, .....breeders to register their catteries, register each litter, and register each kitten. The fees for a litter of 4 kittens would be $100 for the cattery registration, $200 for each litter, and $400 for the kittens for a grand total of $700!!! Additionally, each kitten must be microchipped .... <<<<<<
