Make a Donation
Got funds to spare? Take some time to research animal advocacy institutions and organizations that would welcome a donation. You might consider a national organization like the Humane Society or a similar entity at the state or local level. Shelters and animal hospitals may also appreciate donations in the form of food, treats, toys, or other cat care necessities.
Adopt or Foster a Kitten
If you’re prepared for the commitment of responsible cat ownership, National Kitten Day could be the perfect time of year to welcome a new pet home. Browse online or give your local shelter a call to see if any local kittens are looking for cat lovers to take them home. If you can’t quite manage adoption at this time, think about fostering. This temporary commitment involves briefly caring for a cat until they’re ready for a forever home.
Help Educate Cat Lovers
Don’t have the time or money to provide cat care? Take to social media to spread the word about cat-centric causes and organizations in your area. Offer information to friends and family members who may be looking for opportunities to adopt, make a donation, or volunteer their time.
Volunteer at a Pet Shelter
Local animal-friendly organizations are always happy to accept a helping hand. Call shelters and animal hospitals ahead of time to learn how you can best support their day-to-day efforts and improve the lives of needy cats and dogs.
