the relevant post for that link is a few down from the top, so here's the gist: "How does the holiday benefit cats? There's such a massive number of cats in shelters, so we're setting a goal of 10,000 adoptions on National Cat Day to help them find homes.
What if someone simply can't adopt a cat? There are so many ways to help. Make a donation. Even one dollar buys a bowl of food. If you can't donate, volunteer to clean, brush or play with cats in a shelter or rescue. I know people think cats are independent, but they love to play and be paid attention, just like dogs.
If you can't afford a cat, look into fostering. You're basically saving two lives, because you're giving a temporary home to one and making room for a shelter to house another. And generally, your costs are covered or very low." and Ms Paige is very glamorous.

ReplyDeleteI am pet-sitting FIVE cats in luxury and we are all celebrating.
Our three cats had not heard and when I told them about national cat day - thanks to your post, they did not bat an eyelid.
ReplyDeleteDid you just make that up?
ReplyDeleteNo! ICHC told me so!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe the cats would settle for only one day. It's all or nothing for them.
