Enjoy these cat celebrations in February!
The entire month of February is designated as Spay/Neuter Awareness Month, which was created by the Humane Society of the United States [1]. Other holidays in February working to put an end to euthanizing cats include National Prevent a Litter Month, National Prevent a Litter Month, and Responsible Pet Owners Month [read more at 2].
Each year 6 – 8 million cats and dogs enter the U.S. shelter system–and people estimate that every day thousands of dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters [3]. We are working to decrease that percentage every day. Find out how you can help work to decrease this number at [2].
Other cat holidays in February:
Feb. 14: Pet Theft Awareness Day
There’s no better day than Valentine’s Day to remind us of the importance of safeguarding the pets we hold so dearly. [4]

We created this holiday dedicated to all snuggling and hugging cats. Check out our cuddling cat friends and the winner of the Cuddling Cat contest at Winner of YouTube Cuddling Cat Contest
