"People and pets go together like PB & J! So in my mind, if you want to help animals, you’ve simply got to be people-friendly too," says Heather Miller, Development & Communications Director, Cat Adoption Team. "When more people can access animal welfare services in a way that both supports them and shows them they matter, our interactions become a more positive experience for everyone involved, including the animals!" Heather will bring her expertise to a live discussion, Accessibility in Animal Welfare: Increase Lifesaving with Access for All, on Thursday, August 22, at 5pm ET.

It's Foster Appreciation Week and we 😻 our fosters! Whether they're helping a sick cat recover, bottle-feeding newborn kittens, or coaxing a shy kitty out of their shell, our foster volunteers put their full hearts into the felines they foster.

So far this year, over 670 kitties have been through the foster program at CAT. Hooray!! #FosteringSavesLives
