“I created this for my own blog and YouTube research\u2014I got tired of hunting down reliable statistics scattered across academic papers and government reports,” said Adam Gill, founder of Cat Cognition. “Once I had it all consolidated with proper citations, I realized nothing else like it exists. Journalists and educators need citable cat data too.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
New free resource provides verified answers to the most-searched cat questions\u2014from “how many cats in the US” to adoption rates and wildlife impact\u2014with one-click citations from 200+ peer-reviewed sources.<\/div>\n

How many cats are in the US? How many cats end up in shelters? Do cats really kill billions of birds? Cat Cognition today launched the Cat Statistics Hub, a free database that answers these questions and 400 more with verified data from peer-reviewed research and institutional sources like the American Veterinary Medical Association, Shelter Animals Count, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.<\/p>\n

The resource addresses a persistent problem: accurate cat statistics are scattered across paywalled journals, government databases, and academic papers. Writers researching cat adoption statistics, wildlife advocates seeking feral cat population data, and journalists fact-checking claims about outdoor cats and birds previously spent hours hunting down reliable sources. The Statistics Hub consolidates this research with one-click citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, and AP formats.<\/p>\n

The database covers 12 categories including cat population by country, shelter and adoption statistics, cat ownership costs, feral and community cat data, and cats vs dogs comparisons. Users can filter by seven regions—United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and Japan—making it the only free resource offering verified international cat statistics with proper academic citations.<\/p>\n
