International Homeless Animals' Day raises awareness of the plight of the animals that do not have owners, often due to overpopulation. ISAR (International Society for Animal Rights) created National Homeless Animals' Day as a call for action in reducing pet overpopulation.
Programs and resources that can reduce and even eliminate the increasing number of abandoned pets are communicated to the public. People marking this day organize candlelight vigils, animal blessings, free spay and neuter clinics, and provide education to the public on how to prevent overpopulation and unwanted pets.
In the image: This is Charlie Chaplin, one of several feral cats that used to stop by my home for breakfast daily in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. When Charlie started showing up, I already had three, one I brought with me from the US, Sinatra, and two I adopted, Joey and Zoe, from my cat breakfast bar.
Once I moved into a new house on camp, he was semi-adopted by a friend down the street. Charlie was a caring and giant loveable cat. He took residence with my friend until she left the company, and Charlie had to fend for himself again. The last time I saw him, Charlie was covered in scars and scratches, several across his face. His weight was significantly down, and he scampered away before I could catch him. Charlie Chaplin is one of the millions of feral cats around the world that would be adoring pets in different circumstances. Charlie Chaplin made an impression. He deserves remembering, and I think he'd like this tribute.
