Adopt-A-Cat Month®

Brought to you in June by American Humane

Updated June 2026

June is Adopt-a-Cat Month®, a national initiative American Humane Society founded in 1974 to help cats find loving homes, especially during “kitten season,” when shelters are overwhelmed with new litters.

When you adopt, you’re not just saving a life, you’re joining a movement. Visit your local shelter and meet your new best friend.
