Black Cat Appreciation Day

Mo's Favorite Time of Year

We still don't (and may never) understand why so many people have preconceived notions about black cats. In so many other countries they are considered GOOD luck. Mom can attest that they are hard to photograph, but when people come into shelters they still tend to get overlooked. We say BAH HUMBUG! (mom says something else, but we can't repeat it here)

Juniper and Daiquiri

Allie, our feral cat

We don't know the actual statistics, but we hear torties are a close second for least adopted, so we are featuring Juniper too....

Here are some of our numbers: out of 260 total cats and kittens to date, we have had 35 black cats - 9 female and 26 male. Of those, only 1 black momma cat (which we find pretty interesting....any guess? yep, our feral girl Allie). In addition, we have had 8 tortie kittens.

We think every house needs a house panther. Check your local rescue and pick out one of your very own.

**Juniper is out and about all the time now. She will go into the foster space with mom to check on the kittens, but comes right back out with mom as well - and fortunately goes in and out the actual door - which is better than climbing the doors to get out. She is having a great time playing and is just wonderfully sweet. A few more days of medication for her cold and she can be spayed and is ready to go. If you know anyone looking for a super sweet, outgoing tortie, let us know. After being out and on her own for about 5 days now, she has discovered the bed. She doesn't spend all night sleeping with mom, but she likes to come visit right after the light goes out and before the alarm goes off.
