National Feral Cat Day

Today is National Feral Cat Day. National Feral Cat Day was launched in 2001 by Alley Cat Allies, the national advocate for feral and stray cats. Alley Cat Allies is the foremost authority on a program called Trap‐Neuter‐Return, a humane method of care that improves the lives of outdoor cats. According to Becky Robinson, the President of Alley Cat Allies, “More cats are killed in our nation’s animal control pounds and shelters than die from any other documented cause.”

Millions of unwanted kittens are born every year. The easiest way to avoid this is to ensure that cats are spayed or neutered. This is especially important for the millions of feral cats in the country. Check out Alley Cat Allies and support National Feral Cat Day!

I gave my cats a lecture on how lucky they are to have a loving home and not be a feral cat wandering around alone. They appeared unimpressed.
