People will have the opportunity to meet a number of cute and cuddly felines looking for new homes.

Petbarn Newcastle manager Liz Edman said the day, held in partnership with RSPCA NSW, was a wonderful way to celebrate the love and companionship of cats as well as raise awareness for the many felines without a home.

“At Petbarn Newcastle West we’re dedicated to ensuring every animal has a loving place to call home and World Cat Day is the perfect to time for us to raise awareness of the importance of pet adoption in saving cat lives,” she said.​

All cats are de-sexed, vaccinated and micro-chipped.
