June is Adopt a Cat Month. This time of year coincides with peak kitten births, which results in numerous cat and kitten ending up in local shelters. The campaign encourages people to adopt cats from shelters.
This is also a great time to learn about proper cat care and how to prepare your home for its newest family member. There are many cats & kittens waiting for their forever home. If you can’t adopt, there are many other ways to help.
Fostering: This gives you the opportunity to see if you’re ready to adopt and gives the animal a chance to decompress.
Donating: Either funds, supplies or time. Consider volunteering at your local shelter.
Social Media: Use your social media accounts and store bulletin boards to share available cats & kittens.
There are many benefits to owning a cat, including companionship, stress reduction and improved health. Studies also how that cat owners have lower levels and anxiety and depression.
