The purpose of National Kitten Day celebration is to draw people's attention to the cute animal and encourage its adoption from animal shelters. Individuals or kitten-lovers often prefer to purchase kittens from a pet store or another buyer. But, instead one must adopt homeless kittens from animal shelters, who are either abandoned by their previous owners or were born in such animal welfare houses. This step of yours can further motivate others to adopt homeless kittens and give them a good future. More domesticated kittens will also lead to keeping a check on the population tab of kittens. If you already have a kitten at home, then make your sure you spend some quality time with your pet kitten. Take them for a health checkup, or simply pamper them on this special day.

National Kitten Day history 

It is a common belief that the National Kitten Day was first observed by Colleen Paige. She is a celebrated pet and family lifestyle expert. She is also a renowned animal advocate and author, who works rigorously for animal rights, and is a true-blue kitten lover. Paige's aim for the National Kitten Day celebration was to promote the adoption of kittens in the first place. Initially, National Kitten Day was celebrated in the month of December for two years in a row. Then, it was shifted to July 10 from the third year, and it celebrated in July ever since. The National Kitten Day celebration was sponsored by BLUE Naturally Fresh Cat Litter for a couple of years. Then later on the event expenses were divided between The Blue Buffalo Corporation and Naturally Fresh cat litter.
