Did you know black cats are only half as likely to get adopted as cats of other colors? And that, on average, they stay several months longer in shelters than any other cats? Isn't that CRAZY? Well, we certainly think so. There are a bunch of beautiful, amazing and adoptable black cats at PAWS. Here are just a few of them:
Come and meet these "house panthers" today! You might just find your new best friend. :)

I've never understood the whole black cat stigma. I've ALWAYS loved black cats. So sleek, so cool, always in style... And of course totally lovable. One of my favorite kitties was Nicki. He was my BFF. Totally black, not a white hair anywhere. xo
ReplyDeleteSweet black cat :)
ReplyDeleteWe have never had a pure black kitty but they do look very sleek and mysterious. :)
ReplyDeleteMum was owned once by an all black cat who was called Max. if Mum was in the street and she patted a dog he used to chase the dog away and spit at it! He had a girlfriend cat called Snoopy across from us and they used to go through her back garden and into the village cemetery paw in paw and spend hours there!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
They sure are beautiful. People are foolish.
ReplyDeleteStunning. And proof that humans are WEIRD. Black cats RULE!
ReplyDeleteI was adopted BECAUSE I was black! That's what the mom tells me.

Oh me and Charlie are dazzled by such ebony beauties!! They all must have good homes asap!!! They must!! :-)
ReplyDeleteTake care

Good thing PAWS is so far away, I would have to have Derek. He is great looking. So is everyone else and black cats are the best. Hope all of you find some terrific homes.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of beautiful kitties there! We hope they all find excellent loving forever homes really soon :)
ReplyDeleteAs a side note - when I was little I always dreamed of having a black cat :)
Tipp here - I luvs da black kitties cauze I are one! We had a brother Arthur who went to the bridge long before I got here who was black (with a touch of white like me).
ReplyDeleteBlack cats rule! Everyone should have one, or two
We think black cats are amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love black cats!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely group of cats. In our part of the world, black cats are considered to be lucky by most. We certainly think that they are :)
ReplyDeleteyeah for house panthers - we gots our paws crossed for some adoptions for your good looking kitties!!
ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful cats - anyone who adopts them would be lucky to have them.
ReplyDeleteWhen you see these sweet faces, color never matters... I don't know why black kitties have more difficulty finding their home. I hope these sweet babies will find forever home soon!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BLACK CAT APPRECIATION DAY! SHARED!
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely. Mum says Elmer is the spitting image of one of the cats who came before us. He was called Mr Pig because he was always stuffing his face when he was young.
ReplyDeleteWe love black cats, every single day!
ReplyDeleteAs the "mommy-daddy" of two lovely black kitties from the same litter, it breaks my heart to hear how hard it is for black cats to be adopted, and extra grateful that I did so... because I have to admit, I had never thought I would have black cats.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I too shared this post on my FB, I can be found under Louis Muñoz.
ReplyDeletewe don't get the black cat/black dog stigma either. we think black kitties are especially beautiful :)

Happy Black cat Appreciation day, guys! I better wish my furiend, Smoky. Sparkle is awesome <3

I never knew (until recently) how bad black cats had it... and now that I do, it breaks my heart... I really think that when it is time for us to open our hearts to another, a black cat may be the perfect solution....
ReplyDeleteIt really is crazy! Black cats are sleek, sexy, beautiful, and wonderful... just like any other cat, they are awesome and deserve a loving home!! Time for all this superstitious nonsense to stop!
ReplyDeleteMommy's totally, completely & madly in LOVE wif a beautiful purebred Bombay at Wayside who's completely black (she sez Juno is a female Faraday!!).
ReplyDeleteBut Juno is an "only cat". *sigh*
She may just have to furlough her for a bit if she's still there when Mommy gets back from her week of working in Arizona...!
Pee Ess...Jet looks like he has oriental in him with that elegant long nose! And Derek sure looks Persian to us.
(of course Allie squeeee-d at her namesake MOL!)
We think all cats are beautiful and we love that each individual cat has their own singular personality no matter their colouring! Blacks cats are especially beautiful to us though because of Malou, and all those other breathtaking house panthers we have known/know! We know there are others who see how beautiful this gang is and we hope they each find homes ASAP!!
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
When I was a kid, my younger brother brought home a stray black kitten, saying, "We have to keep her; she's one in a million!" Of course we kept her.
ReplyDelete4 of the 6 of us are solid black. The only drawback to having a house full of House Panthers is that we're hard to see in the dark. The people turn on nightlights when they go to sleep, so if they have to get up for some reason they won't trip on us. We hope all those gorgeous PAWS kitties get loving homes furry fast!
ReplyDeleteYes, we know that and it makes us sad. They are just as sweet as any other can...color does not make the cat. Every black cat that has ever been a part of our family was wonderful. We hope more people will begin giving them loving forever homes. Hugs and nose kisses
ReplyDeleteWell, duh! YEAH Black Cats are the Best. Not that I'm biased or ennyfing ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese kitties are beautiful and have more than their share of charm. We don't understand the black cat stigma, either.
ReplyDeleteThey all deserve a good home and cat-loving smoochies from us :)
Tom, Mom Julie, Mitty, Tinker & Anastasia
Elmer is just precious! What a sweet face. We are shocked people still think like its the 1300's when it comes to black cats. What if people thought about people with black hair like that? Think of all the squawking there would rightfully be!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with each of them. KISSES to them and please, find homes sweet ones. xoxoxoxox
