Every June, we get to celebrate one of our favorite months: Adopt a Shelter Cat Month! We are partnering with our friends at ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter to help us shine a light on a few adoptable cats who could use some extra attention. If you’d like to learn more about how to help this month, visit aspca.org/meow!

These fantastic felines are available for adoption at the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City, and they are patiently waiting to meet you! Read on to learn more about some of our favorite adoptable friends.
