#4 Show Your Appreciation to Cat Lovers

International Cat Day is all about cats - but it’s also about the people who love cats! This is the best time to reach out and find your cat lover community.

#5 Help Cats Out

Regardless of whether you have a cat of your own, you can contribute to a successful International Cat Day by supporting cats! This is the best time to get involved with your local cat shelter or charities.

With over 80,000 community cats roaming Singapore, helping out with your local community cat population can also be a great help. If you’re interested in lending a hand, you can find out more through Singapore’s Cat Welfare Society, a great non-profit organisation that is always in need of more donations and volunteers!

It’s also a great way for cat lovers to spend lots of time caring for cats. So make sure to also check out shelters like the Kitten Sanctuary or SPCA Singapore to find out how you can support the excellent work they do!

This International Cat Day, make sure to spend extra time pampering your favourite cats or cat lovers. It’s a really fun holiday and a great excuse to spend a few extra hours lazing around with your cat. Plus, the joy of giving your cat some new treats can’t be replaced! If you can, supporting local cat shelters can also be a really fulfilling way to spend the holiday!
