Registering Your Cat as an Emotional Support Animal
What is an Emotional Support Animal?
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal that provides emotional support to a person with a disability. ESAs can be any type of animal, but they are most commonly dogs and cats.
Benefits of Registering Your Cat as an ESA
There are many benefits to registering your cat as an ESA. These benefits include:
- Your cat will be able to accompany you in public places where pets are not normally allowed, such as on airplanes, trains, and buses.
- Your cat will be able to live with you in housing that does not normally allow pets.
- You will be able to deduct the cost of your cat's care on your taxes.
How to Register Your Cat as an ESA
To register your cat as an ESA, you will need to get a letter from a licensed mental health professional stating that you have a disability and that your cat provides emotional support for you.
Once you have a letter from a licensed mental health professional, you can register your cat with an ESA registry. There are many different ESA registries available, and you can choose one that is right for you.
Conclusion
Registering your cat as an ESA can provide you with many benefits. If you have a disability and your cat provides emotional support for you, I encourage you to consider registering your cat as an ESA.
