Adopt-A-Cat Month®

Give a shelter cat a starring role in your life during Adopt-A-Cat Month in June!

Adopting a cat from your local shelter will enrich your world in so many different ways:

• Cats will keep you entertained with their playful antics.
• Cats are very affectionate and love to cuddle with you.
• Having a cat can reduce your blood pressure and prevent heart disease.
• Cats are very clean -- they bathe themselves!
• Cats are independent and can be left alone while you are at work.
• Cats do not need to be housebroken -- using the litter box comes naturally to them.
• Cats do not need a lot of space. They are perfect pets for apartments and smaller homes.
• Cats get plenty of exercise living indoors. Just 15 minutes of playtime each day will satisfy a cat.
• Taking care of a cat can help teach children responsibility and humane values.
• Approximately 4 million homeless cats end up in animal shelters every year in the United States. By adopting, you’ll be saving a life.

Once you’ve adopted your new feline friend, help combat cat overpopulation by spaying or neutering your cat. And don’t forget to keep your kitty safe with an ID tag and microchip!
