28. If a cat is kept in confinement equipment, it must be able to exit its cage for a minimum of 1 hour per day in order to move and jump freely, except in the case of a kitten 4 weeks of age or less and its mother. That requirement does not apply to pet shops, animal boarding establishments, grooming salons or premises where animals are taken in with a view to transferring them to a new place of custody, euthanizing them or having them euthanized by a third person, if the animal is kept there less than 2 months.
