National Cat Day is celebrated annually on October 29th. This day aims to raise awareness about the number of cats in shelters and promote the importance of adopting pets. It encourages people to consider adopting a cat and provides an opportunity to appreciate the joy that cats bring to our lives. Founded in 2005 by animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige, National Cat Day highlights the need for cat adoption and responsible pet ownership. Many organizations participate by hosting events, offering discounts on adoption fees, and sharing information about caring for cats.
