National Feral Cat Day

October 16 and All Year Round

National Feral Cat Day (NFCD) is your opportunity to help protect and improve the lives of cats around the county!

We know how much you care about cats and want to help protect them. Now you can celebrate NFCD by reaching out to others with the message that feral cats are healthy and happy outdoors and that Trap-Neuter-Return improves cats' lives. Get involved and show your support for stray and feral cats by distributing educational materials or hosting local events like workshops, fundraisers, or special neuter clinic days. Read a list of events and activities ideas.

With your help, we can truly make a difference in cats’ lives. You can be their voice—on National Feral Cat Day, and all year round.
