FOR ALL AGES
At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
This day is essentially celebrated all across America, but anyone can celebrate this day personally if they have a kitten or a cat.
This day is celebrated by all animal lovers, especially kitten lovers, even more so when one is an owner of a kitten or some cats.
National Kitten Day was first observed in 2012. Despite being celebrated twice in December in the beginning, it was shifted to July 10 later on.
The National Kitten Day was started by Colleen Paige, who is an animal advocate and an author and expert at Pet and Family Lifestyle.
The National Kitten Day history goes way back in time and far and wide as we trace how cats came to be the most adored pets all over the globe.
Posting a cute picture with your adorable tiny kitten on social media, like Facebook, might now be a tradition in itself for all owners on this day.
To honor this day, people can bring their kittens to their local shelters to have a play-meet of sorts for all kitten owners. You can even persuade a friend or a family member into adopting a kitten or provide help at shelters or local non-profit organizations, like, when a fresh litter comes in or when cats fight. Alternatively, you could also drop in at your pet store and take a few treats for the kittens there, provided the owner allows you to feed them.
For this day, an owner of one or many kittens spends the day with them, decorating their litter boxes, serving them their favorite food, or offering help at their local shelter. If one doesn't own any pet yet, they can adopt a kitten on this day to make it even more special. Some people even donate money or do volunteer work at shelters like the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). You could also head down to your nearest local shelter or adoption center and adopt a few kittens and give them a new lease of life.
For this day, an owner of one or many kittens spends the day with their pet offers their help at their local shelter. If you don't own any pet yet, you can adopt a kitten on this very day to make it special.
Animal lovers prompt other people to adopt or provide help, and volunteer work at adoption centers on this day to encourage the adoption of a kitten or even a grown cat.
Kids naturally love playing with animals, and any child who has grown up with cats or kittens, thus, generally gets excited for this day.
The joy kittens bring you is combined with empathy that grows while a person tends and nurtures an animal, as seen with all pet owners, be it cats or dogs. Taking care of something together thus benefits family life.
Cat lovers promote this day by encouraging the adoption of a kitten instead of buying them.
