The Top 10 Cat-Friendly Cities

The CATalyst Council, a coalition of the veterinary community, academia, nonprofits, industry and animal welfare organizations, has crowned the 2009 Top Ten Cat-Friendly Cities in America!

They are as follows - Tampa, Phoenix, San Francisco, Portland (OR), Denver, Boston, Seattle, San Diego, Atlanta & Minneapolis.

So what makes a city cat-friendly? It depends on several factors, including cat ownership, the amount of cat care available, the prevalence of micro-chipping, etc.

The list was created to draw attention to the popularity of cats as pets and how we need to make sure America's felines are being cared for fully and properly. This is a great way to bring awareness to America's #1 pet, the CAT! Hopefully cities across the country will work hard to land their names on this wonderful list!

  4. That's really interesting, Rufus - thanks for posting. We also want all cities (and towns) to be cat-friendly.

  5. We live in Dallas. That map doesn't show it as cat friendly. Hmm. All my neighbors have dogs in their yards.

    Every city needs to be cat friendly. They don't know what they're missing.

  6. Our human read that too, she reads all kinds of stuff likes that! We thinks she's kind of looney. It is nice to meet you Rufus and we would like to be friends if you want to!

  7. That's very interesting. We wonder if there's a map like that for Europe. We're not sure our town would be on it... too many dogs everywhere.

    More cities should be cat friendly!
