Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!

I hope this week and the summer they're treating you all well!

Our own shelter cats!

We have now made it all the way to July and are starting in on the second half of the year 2026! Amazing how quickly time flies by!

Sharing this as a quick reminder that Adopt a Shelter Cat Month — an event that normally takes place during June of every year — has been extended into the month of July for 2026 and is actually two months long this year!

Shangri in the sun

This is an annual event to draw attention to cats in animal shelters, and to the importance of giving homes to shelter cats all around the world.

While there are no doubt lots of fine pedigreed cats in our world, we especially like to draw attention to the plight of the street cat that ends up in an animal shelter.

Happy and safe in a loving home

These are often the creatures most in need of a happy home where they can feel safe and warm and well fed!

So, if you have been considering adding a feline friend to your family why not visit your local animal shelter this month and adopt a shelter cat?

Nala in the sun!

Otherwise, we're just plugging along, creeping towards our 2026 Hive goals.

As we finish this post, we're within a few whiskers of reaching 7,000 HP!

Friends

Thanks for visiting our little cat blog, and we hope to see you again soon! Until then, enjoy the rest of your week!

Love Cats? Get Involved in Hive's Cat Communities!

If you're a cat lover and often/sometimes post pictures or other content that includes your feline friends, why not become an active part of Hive's growing Cat Communities?

These are some of the more active Cat Communities — why not join them ALL? Many of the allow you to share your cat posts, even if you started at a different community!

HiveCats by Hive account@curatorcat is a central "gathering place" for cat content on Hive; promoting the use of the #hivecats tag for feline content!

Cat Snaps by Hive account@manorvillemike is a place to post pictures of your cats when you don't have a whole lot to say beyond just sharing your cute photos!

Caturday by Hive account@saboin is a community where we get to celebrate posts relating to Saturday — aka "Caturday" — our own special day!

Cat Photos by Hive account@andrarchy is a "mixed use" cat content community; posts can be just photos or longer, as long as the subject is CATS!

Cats by Hive account@captainklaus (and Sissi!) is another "general" cat content community.

There are a number of other feline communities listed on Hive, but I am not sharing them for now as they have not had any activity (by their Admins OR users) since the Steem/Hive fork. Updates as they become available!
