National Feral Cat DayOctober 16 and All Year Round

National Feral Cat Day (NFCD), October 16, is the annual kick-off of Alley Cat Allies’ national education campaign. Many advocates and supporters take this opportunity to distribute educational products or host local events—workshops, fundraisers, and special spay and neuter clinic days—for stray and feral cats. Click here for a list of ideas for activities and events.
 
You can help spread the message about feral cats, why they need a different kind of care, and how communities can band together to stop the killing of cats in their local animal control pounds and shelters—on National Feral Cat Day and all year round.
