Today is Global Cat Day, a special occasion devoted to unowned, free-roaming “community” cats. These cats often get a bad rap but it’s important to understand that these cats aren’t so different from our beloved pets. As a matter of fact, many are living on the streets as a result of being abandoned by their families.

We've included some tips to help manage and care for the community cats in your neighborhood.

Helping these cats starts by being a responsible guardian! Spay/neuter your own cat and keep them indoors.

* In just seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring could produce a staggering total of 420,000 kittens!
