PetSmart Canada put out a news release ahead of their PetSmart Charities of Canada National Adoption Week, revealing their top 10 cat-loving cities based on an index including cat adoptions and the sale of cat-related products. Cambridge came in at number three, behind East York and Langley, B.C. Kitchener, meanwhile, claimed the sixth spot. The data was collected between June 17, 2024 and June 16, 2025. 'We're seeing an incredible rise in cat appreciation across Canada, and our index of the top cat-loving cities truly highlights this passion,' Charndeep Grewal, vice president of merchandising at PetSmart Canada, said. The release said cat adoptions have outpaced dog adoptions for the past several years. 'It's fair to say cats are having a moment,' said Aimee Gilbreath, president of PetSmart Charities of Canada.

Cats can thrive in smaller living spaces, and their independence often makes them incredibly appealing to pet parents who can't get out for regular walks.' PetSmart teams up with local rescues and animal shelters to provide adoption opportunities in-store and at special events. Full list
