ORLANDO, Fla. – We’re celebrating our favorite (not-debatable) four-legged friends!
Tuesday is International Cat Day and it was created by the International Fund for Animal Welfare back in 2002, as a way to raise awareness for felines. Showing extra love for kitties, supporting organizations and adopting are “purr-fect” ways to spend the day.
