After our black cat post 4 of our black cats found homes!!

Mama Roxie, Eclipse, Mambo, and Solstice all went home this week just a few days after being shared on social media. With the kittens numbers low our cat population is low. And if you came by our Center and noticed an unusually high number of black cats in our care, it is not because there are more than usual; there are just fewer of the other cats filling in the gaps!

Black is the MOST common coat color in cats. They are not bad luck, and we feel lucky to have a community we believe does not buy into that stereotype. Some of our nicest cats have been black. Some of the cats with the goofiest personalities have been black. And some of our shy cats are currently black.

When we shared these facts on social media our community responded!! Mama Roxie, a slightly shy girl in our Living Room was adopted the very next day. Then two days later, a sweet woman has seen that we had working cats looking for homes, but also wanted to adopt a black cat as a companion! So she left with two black cats! Mambo the working cat, and 1 year old Solstice who is besties with Mambo!

HUGE thank you to those who adopted a black cat from us last week, especially the shy ones, and thank you to anyone else who has adopted a black cat in the past. They truly are the best, and despite common belief, unique! Thank you Bank of the James for being this months sponsor!
