In honor of Black Cat Appreciation Day, here are just a few of the black cats we’ve known and loved. Especially Mr. Kitty, our “favorite” if there can be such a thing.
Black cats are often overlooked in shelters and rescues (so are black dogs), and have been given a bad rap with all that “crossing your path” baloney.
Give a black cat a chance! If you’re thinking of adopting, don’t skip over them at the shelter. If you see a black cat cross YOUR path, maybe, just maybe it’s a sign of good luck.
Here are our black beauties:
