National Cat Lovers’ Month is celebrated every December, honoring cats and the people who love them. It’s a time to appreciate feline companionship, raise awareness about shelter adoptions, and indulge your cat with extra care and affection.


Key Facts

  • When: Every December
  • Purpose: To celebrate the joy cats bring, deepen bonds between cats and their humans, and highlight the need for cat adoption from shelters.
  • Popularity: About 25% of U.S. households own a cat, making them one of the most beloved pets.

Ways to Celebrate

  • Extra Playtime: Dedicate more time to interactive play with toys like feather wands, tunnels, or puzzle feeders.
  • Comfort & Care: Treat your cat to cozy beds, scratching posts, or heated mats.
  • Special Treats: Offer catnip toys or healthy snacks as a festive surprise.
  • Adoption & Advocacy: Support local shelters, foster cats, or spread awareness about the many cats waiting for homes.
  • Education: Share facts about feline wellness—hydration, nutrition, and emotional care—to help others better understand cats.

Why It Matters

  • Companionship: Cats are often misunderstood as aloof, but they can be affectionate, playful, and deeply bonded with their humans.
  • Wellness Benefits: Cats are known to reduce stress and anxiety, offering emotional comfort.
  • Advocacy: Many cats in shelters remain overlooked; this month reminds us to give them a chance at loving homes.
