October is the month of crisp autumn weather, beautiful leaves, and Halloween frights – and what’s the scariest fright of all? Cats being unprotected! Ack!
That’s why October is the purrfect time to encourage discussion surrounding animal protection and safety. All cats need protection, and this month we are focusing on not only helping our cats at home but also reaching out to at-risk groups like shelter cats, homeless or community cats, and black cats (who are thought to be at-risk around Halloween). There’s no act too small when it comes to making the world a safer and gentler place! Follow us on our blog, Facebook, and Twitter this month as we share additional content and resources to improve the lives and safety of cats.
Cats on Streets
The Alley Cat Allies’ National Feral Cat Day is on October 16th for “All Cats All Communities.” The goal is to raise awareness about community cats and encourage care for them. They often have negative stereotypes, and need so much protection and care. You can help by building an outdoor shelter, reading some colony care tips, and seeing if there are any Feral Cat Day events in your area. There are endless ways to help if you open your heart to these little creatures! Stay in the loop on social media using the hashtag #FeralCatDay.
