  • Adoption events for rescued kittens will take place in four Chilean cities on Saturday, August 8, coinciding with National Cat Day.
  • SuperZoo and various foundations are organizing the events to address the high number of stray cats identified in a recent census.
  • The initiative promotes responsible adoption, sterilization, and proper care for felines seeking permanent homes.

This Saturday, August 8, Chile celebrates National Cat Day with a series of adoption events aimed at finding homes for rescued felines. The initiative, organized by SuperZoo in collaboration with several animal welfare foundations, will span across four cities: Santiago, Puerto Montt, Melipilla, and Los Ángeles.

The events are a direct response to alarming figures revealed in a recent census highlighting the significant population of stray cats across the country. Organizers hope to connect these animals with families committed to providing long-term care and a loving environment.

Beyond simply facilitating adoptions, the campaign strongly emphasizes responsible pet ownership. This includes promoting sterilization to control populations and ensuring that adopted cats receive adequate veterinary care and attention throughout their lives.

Participation in the adoption drives is open to the public, offering a chance for animal lovers to meet potential new companions and contribute to reducing the number of homeless cats in Chile.
