Help Our Companions Celebrate Adopt a Shelter Cat Month

June is Adopt-A-Shelter- Cat Month. Why June? Because the summer is the peak of kitten season. Lots of cats give birth at this time of the year. Shelters and sanctuaries try to find homes for adult cats, to make room for the tidal wave of kittens that hits during the summer.

At Our Companions, we like to feature our adult cats who get lost in the shuffle when the Itty Bitty Kitty Avalanche hits. What’s cuter than kittens? How about a mature cat basking in the summer sun in a window, turning over and around to make sure it’s done on both sides, eyes sparkling as it contemplates birds and squirrels in the yard? Or stretching out to what seems like twice its normal length on a cool metal counter-top or wooden floor? Or heading for the closet or under the bed during a thunderstorm, with that “Why won’t you make it stop?!” look on its face—and how casually they’ll stroll out when it’s over: “Scared? Me? Of course not.”

If you’re thinking about a cat, have a look at our adoption page and help us celebrate Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month by giving a mature cat a home. We have lots of wonderful adult cats who are eager to meet you!
