Global Cat Day Highlights Community Cats in Tempe
On Global Cat Day, community cats across the world are celebrated under the rallying call "Cats Are Community™". In Tempe, Arizona, a tabby named Guy was seen hiding behind a cactus on a hot day, illustrating how community cats thrive in high temperatures that often exceed 100 °F. These cats rest beneath bushes during the day and explore at sunset. Tempe’s government-funded Trap-Neuter-Return program supports thousands of community cats like Guy, working with dedicated advocates and caregivers.
