WAFFLES: Hey Boss? How come there are cats that live outside? Don't they have families and homes and toys and stuff?
KATIE: Waffles, not all cats are as lucky as we are. There are millions of cats without homes and families to love them.
WAFFLES: So where do they live? Where to they eat? And play?
KATIE: Some live in shelters. Those are the lucky ones. But many live on the streets. Many have never seen a wand toy or played with a crinkle ball.
WAFFLES: How is that fair? How can we have so much and they have so little?
KATIE: That's why we need to help them, Waffles. Our feral cat friends need us. And so do the kind and generous people that care for them. Did you know that many of our friends that visit our blog care for feral cats in their neighborhoods and communities?
Many of them practice TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) in an effort to end the tragic cycle of overpopulation. They feed them every single day, make sure they receive veterinary care when they're sick, they talk to them, they even give them names.
WAFFLES: It sounds like they really love them.
KATIE: They do. Very, very much. 
Today is National Feral Cat Day®
Alley Cat Allies launched National Feral Cat Day® in 2001 to raise awareness about feral cats, promote Trap-Neuter-Return, and recognize the millions of compassionate Americans who care for them. With each year, more and more people celebrating and supporting.
