Cats are officially having their moment. According to PetSmart, cat adoptions have now outpaced dog adoptions, signaling a surge in feline fandom across the U.S. In honor of Anything for Cats Month, PetSmart released its Top 25 Cat-Loving Cities, highlighting areas with the highest cat adoption rates and spending on treats, toys, and pampering products. Cities like Lexington, KYGreen Bay, WI, and New York, NY topped the list. PetSmart Charities’ National Adoption Week (July 21–27) comes at the height of kitten season, when shelters are especially full.
To encourage adoption, PetSmart is offering exclusive rewards through its Treats loyalty program and 5X points on all cat purchases throughout July. The promotion reflects broader cultural shifts, as more Americans see cats as ideal companions—especially in smaller living spaces. PetSmart continues to lead in pet adoption, care, and retail, having helped over 11 million pets find loving homes.
