JD Vance ‘Childless Cat Lady’ Clip About Pet Adoption, Animal Shelters Say

J.D. VanceThe infamous “childless cat ladies” clip seems to be swaying people’s feelings about owning cats… based on what animal shelters across the country are seeing.

TMZ did some research and animal rescues in the blue states are reporting a spike in cat adoptions, while shelters in the red states are seeing cat adoptions slowly picking up… and the places we’re talking to have a sneaking suspicion Donald Trump‘s running mate is a driving force in this.

AMA Animal Rescue in New York, a decidedly blue state, says there has been a sharp increase in cat adoptions in August and September compared to previous months… which follows Vance’s troubles Clip “childless cat ladies”. resurfaced at the end of July and receives a lot of attention.

In Georgia, a swing state that turned blue in 2020, animal shelters are reporting the same thing… with two places telling us that cat adoptions have skyrocketed since Vance’s comment went viral.

So, based on what we’re hearing… it looks like areas where people tend to vote Democrat are sticking with JD.

The opposite is happening in traditionally red areas… like Florida, Texas and Vance’s home state of Ohio.

In Fort Lauderdale, two animal shelters tell us that more cats are being surrendered than ever, and cat adoptions are way down… and the people who work there believe the trend is politically motivated.

In Ohio, shelters tell us cat adoption rates are collapsing… and they think Vance’s words are having a big impact.

Arlington Animal Service in Texas tells us people are now calling them every day to surrender cats… while another shelter in another part of the state says people are literally dumping cats on their porches at night, driving up the number of cats for adoption.
