From the Russia-Ukraine war, FIFA 2022 at Qatar, to the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, many animals were rescued and given a new life.
March 2 every year is observed as International Rescue Cat Day. Celebrating the day, the world takes a moment to revisit the heartwarming instances of rescue animal adoptions and it also encourages people to "not shop, but adopt" the stray who needs a home.
IRCD is the day to remember the rescued cats and salute the team or individuals who helped the animal in difficult times and make their lives better. Yorkshire Cat Rescue in England was founded on this day and marked the first observance in 2019.
