June is Adopt - a - Cat Month June is the height of kitten season, which means a tremendous population explosion. Animal shelters will soon be overwhelmed with cats in need of a home. You can make a major difference this season by adopting a new feline friend and encouraging your friends and family to do the same. Cats make great companions! They clean themselves and do not require walks. They are self - sufficient while their human companions are at work. Cats require healthy food,

clean water, annual well visits at the vet, and lots of love. Cats enjoy playing with toys and may benefit from a cat companion, so adopt two if you can. Indoor cats live for an average of 10 - 15 years, some much longer. Outdoor cats average 2 - 5 years, so please be prepared to make a commitment for the lifetime of your cat. If you are unable to adopt, please consider a donation to the Friends of Orange County Animal Shelter or a rescue group of your choice. This will provide much needed funds for spay and neuter programs which are essential to decreasing the population of homeless cats.

Please visit Orange County ’ s page on Petfinder to view adoptable cats.
