June Is Adopt a Cat Month
American Humane has declared June to be Adopt a Cat Month. There’s a good reason that June was selected – it’s the height of “kitten season.” You wouldn’t believe how many kittens wind up in animal shelters this time of year. American Humane says that, across the country, there are millions. That’s millions with an ‘s’! Right now, local shelters and rescue organizations throughout South Florida are overflowing with tiny little mouths that need to be fed.What You Can Do to Help
- If you have old newspapers and blankets or a lap in need of a cat, one of our local shelters or rescue groups would love to hear from you.
- Volunteers are also needed to foster animals and lend a hand at shelter nurseries.
- The ASPCA takes Adopt a Cat Month further by declaring June national Adopt a Shelter Cat Month! They say you can help make a difference in the lives of cats and kittens by fundraising on their behalf and bringing awareness to their need.
