We love national days about pets — the goofier, the better — and Sunday, Jan, 22, sounds like a real goodie. It’s National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day. If we had to guess, most kitties are asking: Where’s the food? How about some treats? Or, possibly: Why aren’t you petting me?

If you don’t have a cat in your life, you might feel left out on a whimsical day focusing on feline friends. Well. not to worry. Several animal rescue organizations can be found in the Birmingham area, all devoted to finding forever homes for furry companions.

Here are seven worthy nonprofits that aim to match purring, biscuit-making critters with folks who’ll love and take care of them. If you’re ready to add a cat to your family, these are great places to start.
