Cats must be brought in crates or in a harness if they are harness trained. Unrestrained pets are not allowed. Any pets that display aggression or disruptive behavior towards any other pet or attendee will be required to leave the center. Owners are fully responsible for their pets and must bring their own food, water, and supplies to care for their pet. There will be designated pet relief areas. All pet owners are responsible for assisting their pet with clean-up should any accidents occur. San José community centers and libraries are also open during regular business hours for residents to stay cool.
