August 8th is National Cat Day, a day dedicated to celebrating our feline friends and raising awareness for cats in need.
Whether your cat is independent, chaotic, cuddly (on their terms), or all of the above… one thing is true: they deserve love, care, and a safe place to call home.
At Friday Sock Co., we believe that even the smallest purchases can make a meaningful impact. That’s why we created This Did Good; an initiative designed to give back with every pair.
And for National Cat Day, we’re highlighting a design that supports cat rescue efforts directly.
What Is This Did Good?
This Did Good is our way of turning everyday products into something more meaningful.
Each design in the collection is tied to a cause and every purchase contributes to real impact.
Here’s how it works:
-
After materials, fair wages, eco-friendly packaging, and shipping
-
The remaining net profit is split 50/50
-
50% goes directly to the charity partner tied to that design
-
The other 50% helps us grow the initiative and expand our reach
With typical sock net profit margins around 5–10%, every purchase truly counts.
Because when you wear these socks…
they don’t just look good. This Did Good.
Supporting Cat Rescue: VOKRA
Our This Did Good (for cats) support VOKRA, a volunteer-run organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming cats and kittens in need.
What They Do
VOKRA (Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association) focuses on:
-
Rescuing abandoned, stray, and at-risk cats and kittens
-
Providing medical care, fostering, and rehabilitation
-
Promoting adoption into safe, loving homes
-
Educating the public on responsible pet ownership
They operate through a network of foster homes, ensuring that every cat receives personalized care and attention before adoption.
Why Cat Rescue Matters
While cats are one of the most common household pets, thousands still face uncertain futures due to:
-
Overpopulation
-
Abandonment
-
Lack of access to veterinary care
-
Limited shelter resources
Organizations like VOKRA play a critical role in:
-
Reducing the number of homeless cats
-
Preventing unnecessary euthanasia
-
Giving cats a second chance at life
And the truth is, behind every rescue is a story of resilience, recovery, and a whole lot of love.
