8 August 2025

At International Cat Care (iCatCare) we are proud custodians and co-ordinators of this special day. 

Each year, International Cat Day is an opportunity to highlight important feline-focused topics and raise awareness of cats as a species, sharing our resources and information for cat owners and feline enthusiasts around the globe to support their care for cats.      

We encourage anyone with an appreciation for cats to get involved – follow us at @icatcare or @icatcareveterinarysociety. 

On this page, find out more about International Cat Day 2025 on Friday 8 August 2025, or explore previous campaigns.   

#CatFriendlyEveryDay for International Cat Day 2025  

This #InternationalCatDay, we explore what it means to be ‘cat friendly’ – respecting each cat’s unique nature and meeting their environmental and social needs, at home, in the veterinary clinic, on the street or in a shelter.    

Across 8 August 2025, we’ll share cat friendly information and tips on our social media, including: 

• Understanding the signs for better cat friendly interactions 

• The importance of cat friendly play for health and wellbeing 

• Key tips for a cat friendly environment in the home or veterinary clinic 

• Plus… a special 15% discount on our Cat Friendly courses

• And more...! 

Social media posts will link to our cat advice and information pages, for a deeper read and further resources to support you.
