Depends on the state, Snoopy the attorney. In Minnesota, it’s still a misdemeanor. From the Humane Society (2023):
Animal neglect is considered a misdemeanor crime in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
Felony penalties can be levied in Massachusetts and Oklahoma for any animal neglect case.
Felony charges can be applied in animal neglect resulting in death in California, Connecticut, Florida, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.
Felony charges can be applied in Georgia animal cruelty cases where malice is proved.
