Asked in Animal / Dog Law for Louisiana

Q: Can someone give my 2 adult cats and four kittens away when I'm out of state? They have food, water, etc

They have food, water, etc and are in my husband's step dad's home that no one lives in except my husband and I when we are in louisiana. We are currently sleeping in our vehicle to save money for an apartment in Florida and were going to come get them when we had an apt. We have someone check on them once a week to feed them and water them.

A: Yes someone can take them to the Humane Society for neglect. Cats need fresh water and food DAILY not weekly. They also need their litter cleaned/changed weekly and shots annually.
