When is National Kitten Day?

Every year on July 10.

What is National Kitten Day?

National Kitten Day celebrates kittens and raises awareness for the many that need rescue and homes. Founded in 2012 by pet behaviorist Colleen Paige, it encourages adoption, volunteering, and donations to cat charities. Moved from December to July to align with peak kitten season, it also promotes spaying and neutering to ease overpopulation.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
