Celebrate International Rescue Cat Day on March 2
On March 2, we come together to shine a spotlight on our feline friends who are waiting for a second chance at life. International Rescue Cat Day is all about giving these incredible animals the love and care they deserve by finding them forever homes. This special day is a reminder of the importance of pet adoption and how we, as individuals, can make a positive difference in the lives of rescue cats.
At Nermington’s, we’re proud to support this cause every day of the year—and on March 2, we hope to inspire you to do the same.
Why Cat Adoptions Matter
Every year, over 3 million cats find their way into shelters across the U.S. Sadly, many of these animals were abandoned or left behind and face uncertain futures without adoption or rescue. While significant progress has been made—cat adoptions in the U.S. now surpass 2 million annually, and cat euthanasia rates have fallen dramatically—there’s still much more work to be done.
By choosing to adopt, you’re not just bringing home a pet; you’re giving a cat a second chance at life. Plus, cats make amazing companions! They’re lovable, independent, and adaptable, making them the perfect pets for busy professionals, families, or anyone looking for a new best friend.
How Nermington’s Helps
With every purchase you make from Nermington’s, you’re not just buying for yourself.
You’re also helping shelters provide food, medical care, and temporary homes to cats in need.
Together, we can make a meaningful impact—one purr at a time.
At Nermington’s, we believe every cat deserves a home full of love. That’s why we donate 5% of every sale to shelters like the Greenville Humane Society and other local pets in need of a loving home, supporting their tireless and compassionate efforts to care for homeless animals.
Meet a Cat in Need
Meet Fern
Fern is a sweet and gentle rescue cat, estimated to be around 7-8 months old, and she is looking for her forever home.
She is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and has quickly settled into her foster home, bonding with Harlow, a sweet golden, and even other pets.
Fern has a playful side—she loves treats, enjoys playtime, and adores lounging on her cat tree or gazing out the window. However, be warned—she has a mischievous streak when it comes to toilet paper and will happily shred a whole roll if left unsupervised!
Despite her playful antics, Fern is incredibly docile and has shown no signs of aggression. She’s curious about the chicks in the house but hasn’t displayed any hunting behavior. In fact, she may just be the gentlest soul in her foster home!
Fern’s story is a beautiful reminder of the love and companionship that rescue animals bring into our lives. She’s ready to find her forever home—could it be with you? Reach out to @harlowthegoldenretriever if you are interested in adopting Ferm.
This is the story of a remarkable rescue cat hoping for their forever home. Stories like theirs remind us just how much love and companionship rescue cats have to offer.
