Adopt a Cat Month

June is recognized as National Adopt a Cat Month, and it holds a significant reason for being designated as such. This particular time of the year coincides with the peak of kitten births, resulting in numerous kittens ending up in local animal shelters, eagerly awaiting adoption. This month is a great time to find a new feline friend from a shelter or rescue organization!
