Cat’s Pride Partners with Katherine Heigl and the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation to Promote Animal Welfare

As a proud supporter of animal advocacy, Cat’s Pride can also share information about adopting a cat and how to care for one, as well as cat care tips. It is estimated that 10 to 70 million stray dogs and cats live on the streets and 5.4 million dogs and cats end up in animal shelters in the U.S. annually. While half are adopted, the other half is euthanized due to lack of space in shelters.
