NATIONAL CAT DAY🐱
National Cat Day on October 29th is the purrfect day to give extra attention, treats, and appreciation to the independent, often hilarious, felines who grace our lives.
Cats make excellent, if opinionated, companions. They rarely miss you, but when they do, you certainly know it—usually in the form of a synchronized head-butt, a sudden case of zoomies at 3:00 AM, or a perfect loaf positioned exactly where you need to sit. National Cat Day is a celebration of all these unique cat quirks and the joy they bring.
National Cat Day also serves as an awareness day with a serious purpose to urges pet lovers to adopt from local shelters and reminds us that neutering and spaying our furry companions helps reduce the abandoned population.
Shelters are full of cats and kittens in need of forever homes. These feline fur babies come with as many personalities as they do colors and coats. They curl into our hearts and will just as quickly remind us they decide who they love. Whether they were born in the shelter, surrendered or abandoned, 3.4 million find their way to a shelter.
