LIDA Cat Adoption Center

LIDA (Lawyers In Defense Of Animals, Inc.) is dedicated to representing the interests of animals throughout New Jersey.

Since 1989, we have provided legal representation to animals facing loss of life or liberty. We work with cooperating attorneys on a reduced fee or pro bono basis.

LIDA believes firmly in the right to counsel for every animal and is committed to sending society the message that animals are not property but are sentient beings with inherent rights.

We have initiated the Right to Counsel campaign, advocating for legal protections for all creatures. Learn more about our cases and how you can support our mission!
