This disparity makes the cost of caring for cats extremely high, and with many shelters operating only off donations, it causes shelters to have to make some tough decisions.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">According to the ASPCA, 1.4 million cats are euthanized each year, and this is not solely because they are feral or otherwise unadoptable. A large reason for this staggering number is that animal shelters simply cannot afford to provide for their high number of inhabitants.

In the video, the cats frolic in the sun, hit the sprinklers, play croquet, enjoy a barbeque, and have fun as only cats can, all to provide food to cats in need. Friskies will donate one meal of dry cat food for every view the video gets through September 1, 2014, up to one million meals. In addition to the fare, the video pays tribute to fellow celebrity cat Colonel Meow, who passed away earlier this year due to heart problems.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Knowing about the numbers of cats in need is a good first step, but if these cats have any hope of surviving, getting involved has to be the next.
