International Cat Day – Love, Rescue & Adopt

On August 8 – International Cat Day, UniNetra joins the global effort to protect, rescue, and love the feline companions who quietly comfort millions around the world.

With rising pet abandonment and street animal cruelty, cat welfare is not just a pet issue — it’s a compassion issue.

Cat Rescue Stories That Inspire

“Snowball was found injured in an alley in Istanbul. Now she’s a therapy cat for children in trauma recovery.”

“Leo was abandoned during floods in Indonesia. Thanks to UniNetra’s local partners, he now lives with a loving family in Jakarta.”

Every rescued life matters. Every adoption changes two lives — the cat’s and yours.

Why Cat Adoption Matters

According to the Global Shelter Index (2024):

  • Over 70 million stray cats roam urban centers worldwide
  • Fewer than 15% are ever adopted
  • Many face abuse, starvation, or early death

Adopting saves lives, and spaying/neutering prevents suffering.
