Save a Homeless Cat

I know this post is out of the ordinary, but when it comes to animals, you have found my soft spot...

Did you know that between the months of March and November, animal shelters are inundated with unwanted kittens? That’s because it’s feline breeding season—unofficially called “kitten season”—according to the ASPCA.

Here’s how you can help:
-Take home a kitten. Head to your local shelter (find one at aspca.org/adoption/shelters) and pick out one of these cute newborns. Because of the overpopulation problem, you shouldn’t have trouble finding a tiny new friend

.-Adopt an adult cat. Help the shelter make room for the onslaught of kittens by choosing an older feline. The bonus? Adult cats can be easier take care of because they are often litterbox-trained and less rambunctious than kittens.

-Spay or neuter your cat. Once you adopt a feline (or if you already own one), have it spayed or neutered. Female cats can begin having kittens at just 6 months old, and will go into heat multiple times during kitten season, says the ASPCA.
