      Chloe Rein, President of Brooklyn Kitty Committee, testified about the urgent need for increased city funding for animal welfare, particularly for spay/neuter services and pet food assistance. She highlighted the unsustainable burden on small rescue organizations and the growing cat overpopulation crisis in New York City.

      • Rein's organization spent nearly $30,000 last year on animal care, including spay/neuter costs
      • She supports the proposed $1.5 million for spay/neuter services and $1 million for a pet pantry program
      • Rein emphasized that much more funding is needed to address the estimated 500,000 to 1 million outdoor cats and support low-income pet owners
