Tiny Paws, Big Hearts: Celebrating National Kitten Day🐈🐾🐈‍⬛

Tiny Kitten Paws Leave the Biggest Paw Prints on Our Hearts🐈🐾🐈‍⬛💕
 

National Kitten Day on July 10 is a wonderful reminder that even the tiniest paws can leave the biggest footprints on our hearts. Whether they're chasing a toy across the floor, curling up for an afternoon nap, or greeting you at the door with an enthusiastic purr, kittens have a special way of filling a house with laughter, love, and life. It's also the perfect time to consider adopting from a local shelter or rescue, where countless kittens are waiting for a safe, loving home. After all, a house becomes even more of a home when it's shared with a furry friend. 🐾🐱

 

“Kittens are angels with whiskers.”

Alexis Flora Hope

 

National Kitten Day was founded in 2012 by pet and family lifestyle expert and animal advocate, Colleen Paige.  National Kitten Day celebrates the magic of kittens and to show how much joy they bring to people's lives. National Kitten Day was also created to highlight the plight of homeless kittens in search of their fur-ever home. 

 

“A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.” 

Robert Southey

 

National Kitten Day's purpose is to encourage kitten adoption and to focus on spaying and neutering as a way to keep the feline population under control. 

 

5 Ways You Can Celebrate National Kitten Day

  1. Donate money to a local animal shelter or to an animal welfare organization.

  2. Donate items such as food, toys, and blankets to your local shelter.

  3. Volunteer at your local shelter.

  4. Foster a kitten from your local animal shelter.

  5. Adopt a kitten from your local shelter. You can adopt a kitten for a low fee at Charlotte's Humane Society and at  CMPD's Animal Control Shelter

Kittens have a special way of filling a home and our hearts. National Kitten Day is a wonderful reminder to support local shelters, foster programs, and responsible pet ownership.

Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 don't I know it, Gwen. I adopted a 3-month old kitten from Charlotte's Humane Society last August. Of course, he's all grown up now in size, but still a kitten at heart. And I've enjoyed watching him grow up.

Good morning Nina. My son got a kitten when he graduated from college and moved to Chicago. The wife and I were allergic. He kept that kitten for years and was devastated when it passed. They are indeed special. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin hi Wayne... the good news about kittens is that even when they grow up physically, they remain kittens at heart long after.

Early on I was diagnosed with a cat allergy and never let them get close,

That’s carried forward to today

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 good morning, Ed. So sorry to hear that. I adore cats (no surprise to you I'm sure). I couldn't imagine my life with my kitties.

Nina, if I could, I would be the cat lady for sure!   The more the better, but would have to teach them to use thetoilet!

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner hi Joan... I've had as many as three at the same time. But it's been a long time since I had more than two. In the past 20 years it's just been one at a time, as we've also had dogs. I suspect when Bingo passes we won't get another dog, so I probably will get another kitty.

Nina Hollander, Broker it is nice to have two pets to keep each other company.  I know Lucy & Izzi don't always get along, but they chase each other almost every morning to get their Zoomies out!

Jul 10, 2026 06:24 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner we've had long periods of time when we had just one cat... and it was perfectly fine... mostly because there's always at least one of us at home.

My favorite thing is to watch our blue and gold macaw walk across the floor (or better yet run if he sees a pistachio nut). Makes me laugh every time.

Hi Nina- when I saw what day it was, I knew you'd write about it!!! I loved the video!  Really...who can resist a kitten!!!!  We had one who would sleep on our pillows, just above our heads.

Kathy Streib well, I for one, cannot resist a kitten! Brought one home with me from the shelter just last August! And it's been so fun watching him grow up.
