Why State Laws Matter When Selling Cats
Catalytic converters contain valuable metals, making them a target for theft. That’s why many states have passed laws to regulate how and when they can be sold. These laws are meant to protect sellers and buyers by verifying ownership and preventing illegal transactions.
The good news? If your cats are legally sourced, and you’re working with a trusted buyer like RRCats, there’s usually nothing to worry about — you’ll just need to follow the steps your state requires.
RRCats = A Legally Compliant Buyer
We take compliance seriously. From updated laws in places like New Jersey (where we’re based) to new policies in states like Minnesota and Texas, our team stays on top of the paperwork and verification process so you don’t have to.
