Adopt-A-Cat Month

Three Organizations that help cats find their forever homes

For the past 47 years, June has been recognized as Adopt-a-Cat Month. This time of the year actually coincides with the peak in kitten births where large litters of newborn kittens are welcomed into the world. Unfortunately, many of these kittens end up homeless or in shelters. But there are many organizations around the country that devote their time and efforts into finding forever homes for our community cats and kittens. For this Adopt-a-Cat Month, we’re highlighting three organizations that change cats’ lives for the better!
