Why Adopt a Rescue Cat?

Rescue cats come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, but they all share one thing in common—a huge capacity for love. When you adopt a rescue cat, you’re not just gaining a new furry friend—you’re also giving a cat a second chance at a happy life. Many cats in shelters have been through tough times, and a loving home can make all the difference.

How to Support Cat Rescues

Even if adopting isn’t an option right now, there are still many ways to help:

  • Fostering: Offer a temporary home to a cat in need.
  • Volunteering: Many rescues rely on volunteers for daily care and socialization.
  • Donating: Food, toys, bedding, or a financial contribution can make a huge impact.
  • Raising Awareness: Share adoptable cats on social media to help them find homes.

So What Is Respect Your Cat Day? Pic: Maxima This isn’t just a day for giving...

Cats Playing Fetch? You Bet They Can!

Pic by Hanna, Pexels It's a common misconception that fetch is a game exclusively for our canine companions. But here at Kitten Kaboodle, we know better! Any cat lover who's spent time with these fascinating felines will tell you: many cats love a good game of fetch. And if you haven't experienced this joy yet, you're in for a treat! The Science Behind the Fun A recent study published in the journal Animal Cognition (Saito et al., 2023) revealed some surprising findings.

The research indicates that cats, just like dogs, can find joy and satisfaction in retrieving objects. So, what's the motivation behind this behaviour? Well, it seems to be a combination of factors. For some cats, it's the thrill of the chase. They love the anticipation of watching their favourite toy sail ...
