Share your Global Cat Day photos with 9NEWS

COLORADO, USA — Monday is Global Cat Day!

The Oct. 16 holiday raises awareness surrounding non-lethal feline programs, as cats face euthanasia at a higher rate than other shelter animals.

Cats are one of man's most ancient pets. Independent, inquisitive and adventurous, cats are just the coolest. Consider adopting a shelter cat on Global Cat Day or any time you need a forever kitty.

We'd love to feature your cat photos on 9NEWS, 9NEWS.com and on the 9NEWS app.

To submit a photo or video, share with the 9NEWS app's Near Me feature.
