Hard Rock Cafe Manila and Makati’s Director of Operations, Mr. Clintbrian Peck says “As we celebrate Global Cat Day and Animal Day, it’s timely that we raise awareness about the well-being and health of our feline friends and cats and the significance of their contribution to our environment. It is also important to educate cat owners to know more about these cute furry friends. Our aim is also to give them a chance tolive a happy and secure life by adopting them. These little but smart creatures have been living as family members in many homes. Hard Rock Cafe Manila and Hard Rock Cafe Makati are supporting and helping stray cat communities and cat associations in the country as part of our philanthropic and advocacy. I believe we must love all cats, pedigree, or non-pedigree.We must respect them and be kind to them.The health and well-being ofcats and pets must come first. As a cat owner, we want to have healthy, happy cats that fitour lifestyle, and the relationship should be rewarding for both cats and humans. Owning a cat is a big responsibility. Adopting oneis a lifelong commitment that is both enriching and fulfilling. It is challenging sometimes but well worth the time and effort. Nothing is more enriching in life than the love and nurturing humans can provide for animals and vice versa. Just make sure you are a responsible pet owner, well aware of how owning an animal will change your life in many ways. Every cat, strays or non-strays, deserves a loving home, and every home deserves the joy of owning a pet, especially a rescued one. May this Global Cat Day bring more Meows and Purs your way. It was a day for all cat parents and cat lovers to add love to their best companion Happy Global Cat Day to all.”
