Sadly, there are millions of homeless cats in the U.S. awaiting forever homes – cats that will never leave the alley, the garbage dump, the shelter. Something needs to be done on a large scale to educate the public about the plight of homeless cats, hence…National Cat Day! On October 25, 2008, hundreds of shelters and businesses around the country will be hosting National Cat Day events to help the unwanted cats in their own communities find lasting and loving homes.

The Great American Cat Show is every cat lovers opportunity to not only do something fun with your own cat and win amazing prizes but to help save a life! What could be better than that?

National Cat Day is the brain child of animal behaviorist, author, pet friendly interior designer and founder of the Animal Miracle Foundation (home to National Cat Day), Colleen Paige. National Cat Day is just one of many lifesaving holidays created by Colleen Paige. The vision for The Great American Show at National Cat Day 2008, being that it’s so close to Halloween, is to be a fun and whimsical event with costumes galore and a V.I.P. after party. This event will include the attendance of celebrities and special animal personalities alike, including exhibitor booths by local and national businesses. The goal is to make this the biggest cat event of the year! The National Cat Day website receives over 8.5 million visitors a month!
