National Cat Day is on Saturday, October 29 and it's more than an opportunity to treat your cat to a new toy, it's also a reminder of the 3.2 million cats added to shelters every year. There's a pressing need for adoptions, which is a beautiful opportunity to offer a cat a home where they can flourish, and to alleviate crowding in shelters, where more than half a million cats are euthanized every year.

If you'd like to support National Cat Day, check out their list of the top 20 ways to celebrate, which offers tips for how to help animal welfare organizations, engage in activism, and how to celebrate your own cat.
