Did you know that 2.1 million rescue cats are adopted annually in the United States alone? These furbabies can bring warmth, love, and endless entertainment into your life. International Rescue Cat Day is the purrfect occasion to celebrate your special bond with your rescue kitty.
Why Cat Adoption Is Important
With millions of kitties entering shelters yearly, adoption provides cats around the world with love, care, and a chance at a better life. It alleviates overcrowding and ultimately saves many from being euthanized.
Rescue cats often come with a unique backstory; they may have been abandoned, neglected, or mistreated. Despite their past experiences, many rescue cats express deep gratitude and resilience to their new pawrents.
Adopting a furry family member can be a big change! The Furbo 360° Cat Camera lets you stay connected with your new furbaby from anywhere. With Rotating 360° View and Real-Time 2-Way Audio, you can watch them explore their furever home and chat about their discoveries when you’re on the move.
Celebrate With Your Rescue Kitty
International Rescue Cat Day is a great excuse to shower your rehomed furbaby with extra love and attention. Indulge them with tasty treats, play with their favorite toys, and spend quality time cuddling on the couch.
Use this time to also make sure that your home is a safe and stimulating place for your rescue cat to thrive in. Set up new cozy spots to snuggle in, replace any tattered scratching posts, and add new opportunities for exploration and play.
🐱 Furbo Celebration Tip: If you have errands to run but don’t want the fun to stop, use Furbo’s Treat Tossing feature to remind your adopted catto how much you love them when you’re not around. Furbo’s Feather Wand Toy adds an extra layer of fun to the mix!
Give Back to Your Local Shelter
This cat holiday is the purrfect opportunity to donate to your local shelter. Here’s a list of items that shelters always need:
- Litter
- Treats
- Collars
- Carriers
- Cat toys
- Food bowls
- Wet and dry food
- Towels
- Blankets
- Cleaning supplies
Monetary donations can also help local shelters cover expenses including daily operational costs, staffing, supplies, and animal enclosure improvements. Also, shelters are often in need of volunteers to help with adoption events, cleaning, and spending time with their current cat residents. Check with your local shelter for more information on how you can help.
⚠️ Your rescue cat may have experienced trauma before or during their time in the shelter and might exhibit signs of separation anxiety when left alone.
Furbo Cat Nanny grants you peace of mind with AI-powered Smart Alerts like Continuous Meowing Alert & Crying Alert and Home Emergency Alert sent straight to your phone. The Kitty Diary also gives you a quick overview of your kitty’s day so you never miss a moment.
