International Cat Day takes place on 8 August of every year. It was started in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare as a way to raise awareness and teach ways to help and protect cats. 

Celebrate by cuddling your cats, reading about cats, and/or helping cat rescues. There are many local rescues and shelters doing great work in trying to reduce the population of feral pet animals, through Trap Neuter Release programs and finding homes for strays. They can always use donations, volunteers, foster families, and people to adopt!
