A pet is for life, not just for Christmas, and that includes cats too. Cats may be quieter companions, but they also require long term care and commitment. They grow, age, and depend on us throughout their lives. They are not holiday novelties or short term responsibilities. When the holidays pass, they still need patience, stability, and love. Choosing a cat means choosing them for life.

Second-hand cats give first-class love - because they know what it means to be chosen.

Behind every rescued cat is a quiet story of waiting, of cold nights, small hopes, and a heart that never stopped believing.

This Christmas, when lights glow warmer and homes feel fuller, choosing to adopt doesn’t just give a cat a place to stay - it gives them a new chapter, one they thought might never come.

And in return, they love differently. More gently. More deeply. With a gratitude that feels honest and rare.

They don’t take kindness for granted. They treasure it.

Because sometimes, the purest love comes from those who waited through many winters just to finally be called home. ❤️🐾🏡

Eartipping is a standard practice within the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) field, and it plays an important role in communicating whether a community cat has been spayed or neutered.

How does it work? While cats are under sedation for spay/neuter surgery, approximately 1 cm is removed from the tip of the ear in a straight line cut. The procedure is quick, painless and provides lasting benefits, helping already-fixed cats avoid needless trips to the spay/neuter clinic.

Eartipping allows trappers, caretakers, animal control officers and others to readily tell from a distance that a cat has been altered and, where required, vaccinated at least once for rabies.

Since Bella spends so much time with felines, she’s picked up some cat-like habits. She’ll occasionally try to sneak a bite of the kitties’ food, even though she knows she’s not supposed to. And, of course, she’s learned from the experts about the joys of a cat nap!

With winter holidays underway and around the corner, take a moment to review and share our Holiday Safety Tips for Cats at alleycat.org/HolidayTips! 🐈🎁

One of the most important: Make sure cats have their own menu and can't access your holiday favorite foods:

🔴 Chocolates, candies, and all alcohol should be kept out of reach of cats
🔴 Any food with garlic and onion, or the sweetener xylitol, is dangerous for cats.
🔴 Cooked bones can splinter and choke cats and cause lethal harm when ingested.
🔴 In general, too much rich, fatty food can damage cats’ health.

Resist the urge to slip your cat treats from the table and ask your guests to do the same. And, make sure cats can't jump on a table or counter while food is laid out or candles are burning!
