on

 

There are approximately 61 to 65 million pet cats in the United States.

This number can vary slightly depending on the source and year:

  • American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) estimates around 61 million pet cats in U.S. households.

  • American Pet Products Association (APPA), in their 2023–2024 survey, reports about 65 million pet cats.

Additional context:

  • About 26% of U.S. households own at least one cat.

  • Many homes have multiple cats, which boosts the total number significantly.

  • These figures do not include stray or feral cats, which are estimated to number 30 to 70 million more.
