Oct. 7, 2016

 

This month has many events and activities designed to help stray cats, black cats, feral cats, homeless cats, cats on "death row" and any cat that needs our help. Here are some links to lead you to one that may interest you, support your efforts if you're an advocate or rescuer, or simply help you to educate others about the plight of cats at risk.

October is Black Cat Awareness Month  (See catwisdom101.com)*

Oct. 16 - National Feral Cat Day - (See nationalferalcatday.org/actions/)

Oct. 29 - National Cat Day  (See www.nationalcatday.com)

Oct. 30 - National Black Cat Day in the UK

 

 

As a reminder, Aug. 17 was Black Cat Appreciation Day. Now we are in Black Cat Awareness Month, and the 30th is National Black Cat Day. They deserve to get loving homes as much as any other cat, so let's help them find the love and respect they need, too.

In honor of black cats everywhere, my friend Layla has compiled a book about them to raise black cat awareness and adoption rates. You can read about it below, and you might even want to buy a book!

If you have a new cat or kittens, you may have some questions about how to care for them. Feel free to submit questions and I'll be sure to include them here. If you're having an emergency, however, please contact someone near you, such as your vet, in case you need to take the animal in to the office.
