National Drink Wine with Your Cat Week

Get ready to raise your glass and drink a toast to your feline friends, as February brings one of the quirkiest holidays on the pet calendar: National Drink Wine with Your Cat Week!

When is National Drink Wine with Your Cat Week?

Launched in 2018 by Offers.com and PetWinery.com, this week-long celebration is held on the third week in February.

This pet holiday is a unique cocktail which pairs the palate-pleasing elements of National Drink Wine Day (February 18) with a February 20th holiday that offers sustenance for the soul, National Love Your Pet Day, both on that same week.

Wines That Raise Funds for Cats in Need

To mark the occasion, we’ve uncorked some information that will help both oenophiles and ailuophiles enjoy the holiday!

When celebrating National Drink Wine with Your Cat Week, why not choose a wine that strives to create “a very good year” for animals in need? Here are a few selections:

Château La Paws — Although photos of adoptables Fidos are featured on the label, both dogs and cats from North Shore Animal League America have benefited from the more than $100,000 that has been donated so far by the concoction’s creator.

ONEHOPE — Say “Salut!” with a wine that helps the charity of your choosing! As of this writing, ONEHOPE has donated $9 million to various worthy causes by donating 10% of event fundraiser purchases to nonprofits selected by customers.

Rancho Rossa Vineyards — Pairing beverages with benevolence, this husband and wife duo also operated the nonprofit Rescued Hearts Cellars, with proceeds from their winery donated to Arizona animal rescues in loving memory of their late fur baby, George.

Rescue Dog Wines — Don’t let the name or the dogs on the label fool you: this wine helps both canines and cats in need by donating 50% of the company’s profits to animal rescue organizations, such as Helen Sanders Cat Protection and Welfare Society- Cat Paws, Adoption First Animal Rescue, Atlanta Humane Society, Best Friends Animal Society, and The Rescue Train.

Wines for Cats

Although cats must NEVER drink wine that is meant for human consumption, pet parents need not worry that a pet wine might become inebriated, as pet wines are completely alcohol-free!

Pet Winery— The co-creator of National Drink with Your Cat Week offers catnip-infused, salmon oil-enhanced bottles of Purrgundy and Meowsling.

Wine Events That Help Animals in Need

Many animal rescue organizations have added annual wine-themed fundraisers to their events calendar. Here are a few choice selections:

Wineapalooza— This annual Napa Valley auction (which has drawn the likes of supermodel turned vintner Christie Brinkley) raises funds for the nonprofit Jameson Humane.

Wine & Whiskers— Held at Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation in Walnut Creek, California, this annual fundraiser benefits the dogs and cats in the care of the baseball legend’s animal rescue organization.
