National Kitten Day

By ResidenceLifeAssistant 28 Jun 2024

National Kitten Day, celebrated every year on July 10th, honours the joy, love, and cuteness that kittens bring into our lives. It's time to celebrate these lively furballs and, more importantly, raise awareness about kitten care and the value of adoption.

Whether you're a lifetime cat lover or simply can't resist a kitten's appeal, National Kitten Day is the perfect opportunity to get involved and make a difference in the lives of these wonderful animals.

If you live in Coventry, there are various ways to support local charities and shelters by volunteering, donating, or adopting.

National Kitten Day is more than just posting cute kitten images on social media—though that is a fun part of it!

This day also serves as a reminder of how many kittens are looking for loving homes. Shelters frequently get overcrowded, particularly during "kitten season" in the spring and summer, creating an increased demand for adoptions and support.

If you live in Coventry, there are many methods to help kitten welfare. Whether you want to volunteer your time, donate money or supplies, or even welcome a new animal pet into your house, area organisations and shelters would appreciate your assistance.



Volunteering is a great method to have a direct impact. Many shelters rely on volunteers to aid with daily operations, such as socialising kittens and assisting with adoption events.

- Coventry Cat Group: This charity is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming cats and kittens. Volunteers can help with fostering, fundraising, and general cat care.

Find out more here.

- Cat Protection Coventry: The local chapter of this national organisation frequently seeks volunteers for a variety of roles, including cat care, home visits, and assistance in their charity shops.

If you are unable to volunteer, any donation is greatly appreciated. Shelters require funding to provide medical treatment, food, and other necessities for the kittens.

- RSPCA Coventry, Nuneaton & District Branch: This branch is constantly in need of financial assistance to sustain its operations.

They also have an Amazon wishlist for people who want to donate products directly. Here is how to protect the Meow.

- Cats Protection Coventry: In addition to monetary donations, they take food, toys, and beds for the cats they care for.

Donations and adoptions can be made here.



Adoption is one of the most fulfilling ways to serve. Giving a kitten a lifelong home not only improves their life but also yours.

- Coventry Cat Group has a thorough adoption process to ensure that every cat and kitten finds a loving home. Check their website for available kittens and adoption guidelines.

- RSPCA Coventry, Nuneaton & District Branch: They often have kittens looking for homes. Their professionals can help you navigate the adoption process and discover the right match.

Increase your involvement and impact by these simple steps -

Share on Social Media: Use your social media networks to promote National Kitten Day. Share photos of adoptable kittens, success stories from adopted cats, and information about local shelters.

Host a fundraiser: Plan a small event, bake sale, or online fundraising to benefit your local shelter. Every little bit counts and brings the community together for a worthy cause.

Foster a kitten: If you are unable to commit to long-term adoption, fostering is an excellent method to contribute. It offers kittens a temporary loving home until they find their forever family.
