JUNE IS ADOPT A SHELTER CAT MONTH- Adopt a Cat Month encourages us to remember our feline friends when considering a new pet. June was picked because this month is the height of “kitten season,” when millions of kittens are born and often end up in shelters. The Siouxland Humane Society would like to bring awareness how important it is especially during a “cat” a strophic to adopt an animal in need, plus gives us the opportunity to provide a wider focus on the importance of having pets spay or neutered.

Whether it’s a spunky young kitten or a mellow and cuddly adult cat, chances are your local pet shelter, small rescue organization, or animal control facility has a wonderful cat- or two- for you.

If you aren’t in the market to adopt a cat or kitten right now, there are still plenty of ways for you to help!” says Kelly Erie, PR-Volunteer Manager. Tell your family, friends and neighbors about the plight of homeless cats in shelters and encourage them to get involved. Take to social media and spread the word about adoptable cats and kittens in your shelter. Reach out and see if they need any supplies. Donate in memory or in honor of someone special. Sponsor a pet that has been at the shelter the longest or a senior pet having a hard time finding a family. It all matters and it all makes a big difference. Adopt don’t shop-spay & neuter.
