Thanksgiving is the perfect time to reflect on how grateful we are for the special feline friends we have in our lives. I know I am thankful for every moment I have with my furry family members. They bring such joy to my life! And our beloved house cats express their gratitude with purrs and headbutts for what we give to them.
Unfortunately, there are countless unowned cats roaming the streets who do not have a warm house to return to on a chilly winter night, and worse yet, millions of cats are killed each year in shelters. One organization, Alley Cat Allies, is working to help change this. And on this Thanksgiving Day you can make a contribution to support the cause and leave a special message about the cats in your life that you are thankful for.
Alley Cat Allies has a special Thanksgiving Gallery on their website. Simply make a donation to support the work that this outstanding organization is doing to help improve the lives of cats in the U.S., and you can upload a tribute message along with a photo of your cats to show how much you care.
Alley Cat Allies is the leading national resource for educational information about Trap-Neuter-Release, the best method for humanely caring for unowned cats. They are also an advocate for changes to public policy that affect the humane treatment of cats in shelters. Please consider making a donation today.

The Alley Cat Allies is a wonderful organization. I have already made a donation and wish I could do more. They also help run a spay and neuter clinic close to me and I had 3 kittens done there. It was such a heart warming thing because they are all volunteers.

Alley Cat Allies has been my favorite advocacy group from the very beginning, and I am a longtime “Cat-a-lyst Society” member, because EVERY cat is beloved of me, and together, all of us can work toward the day when every cat is safe, loved, and comfortable for life. Thank you, Kate, for sharing the link with us — and I urge everyone to visit the gallery. It’s so wonderful!
