Black cats - always the last adopted & they know it

Seriously, if I ever get another kitty it will be a black one! They're so gorgeous. I hope those babies find good homes.

Yup - just got the adoption email update from our big boss lady. Orange and white, and black tabby and white kittens went out as a pair... another lady is very close to adopting another orange kitten (tho she said the evil word declaw so i hope she gets denied.. which is likely. We don't condone that AT ALL!!) and a grey tabby and white is another possible adopt... while the two really lovely black kittens sit there.

Oh those poor babies.

My little black Forrest is the best and most sweetest cat ever and I love him VERY much (even when he's being a little devil).

When I adopted Zachary I was told that he's been difficult to adopt out because he's black and white, over a year old and not a good "Lap cat".

Best of luck to those kitties to find a good home soon.

Poor sweethearts. Hope they find homes soon.

I have two black cats as well and our boy - Luvbug - is a sweetheart (so is our Calico Kuce). Rescued cats almost always appreciate having a loving home.

We are also helping a neighbor with a neighborhood b&w cat and he has come along way in temperment.

Oh that just makes me miss my Peri I hope they get adopted soon. I would get another black cat they have a great personality.

that makes me so mad! would these people give their child away if it wasn't 'cuddly'!!

my rb daisy (b/w) was the least friendly cat i have ever had. now i wonder if that was to do with the fact that her previous owners left her to die when they abandoned their flat. i think i'd be pretty wary after that!

when i rang the rescue people to enquire if they had any cats needing homes, i was told there was a cat in brighton, unsure of her age, but she desperately needed a home. so armed with that knowledge (and a cat carrier ) i drove over there and brought her home. she put the spark back in rb sinbads eye as he had lost his sister 4 weeks previously and was very depressed. so what if she bit me if i dared to stroke her for longer than 10 seconds. i loved her and she was a funny, fickle little girl til the very end.

OK I got lucky yesterday, my adoption update included two all black cats, one a skittish but cute 7 month old and the other one of our momma cats along with a long-haired torti who is a doll and I am not sure why we have had her so long and a 7-year-old brown tabby who was very overweight so an amazing adoption day even though it was only 4 adoptions

You are absolutely right,



Oh wait, here's the sexy cat pic,

OMG that is so sad, I don't understand why people won't adopt black kitties, they are gorgeous!! That is what happened to my Oreo, nobody wanted her and I decided to keep her, to me she was the most beautiful cat of the litter.

I wish I could adopt those gorgeous black kitties

I love black cats!! I had one when I was in high school. He was my favorite cat so far up until Nora. Nora is just a dilute black, if that makes a difference. lol

I'm currently looking at a pointed cat b/c I've never had one and always wanted one, but I'm also looking at a couple predominantly black torties also. My mom had a predominantly black tortie growing up. I had no idea what she was when I was younger, though. We had her from as early as I can remember. I just knew she was black with speckles. LOL If we ever end up getting a third cat, I want either a black tortie or a solid black.

They're adorable. It's sad the black cats always are the last to go. I've noticed that at my shelter too. I'd definitely get a black cat or kitten.

The first cat I ever had was black. She was a stray that was crying on my windowsill in the cold. She was great with everybody (including my dog), and the person who eventually adopted her (and her belly full of kittens) said she was the greatest pet. To me, the color of a cat's fur has no basis on what kind of friend it'll make for someone.

I don't understand how people could pass up on kitties just because they're black - especially those two, reaching out with their little paws. So cute! I hope they both find a great home.

My Dante is black, and I can't imagine a better color for a cat The shelter manager said that in her opinion, the black neutered males are the friendliest, and Dante certainly is a very friendly boy. I got him primarily due to personality - I wanted a laid-back, non-territorial cat, since I already had a girl (solidy grey).

Recently, the same shelter had a bunch of black and black & white cats, and ran a 'sale' on them (discounted the adoption fee to $75 from $100), because people do tend by-pass the black kitties, and the older ones too.

I love black kitties! It is so sad they are always left behind! All the solid black cats I've ever met have always been super loving and people oriented. Like they know they have to work harder than the “pretty†kitties. But they are so elegant and gorgeous all in their own right! I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t understand?

I know I have a hard time getting good pictures of Spooky – my camera canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t seem to pick up on his features with all that black sometimes. I have to get just the right lighting to get a good picture of him, and often his eyes look scary because they stand out so much against his blackness. Maybe difficulty in getting a great picture is a problem for rescues trying to find them homes?

Both of the black cats Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve adopted I got because nobody else wanted them. Onyx (now my dadâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s cat because he adopted my dad once I brought him home…) was the very last of his litter that my friend rescued off the side of the road. All the greys and tabbies were adopted right away and he was left behind for 6 months until I brought him home! My Spooky adopted me because the person who had his mother couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t find a home for him (but did for all his littermates) and just put him outside to fend for himself!

Oooo! Is your kitty a Bombay??!! He (Jack?) is gorgeous!

I love black kitties. Send them my way; Pants could use some company

Natalie, I want to thank you for starting this thread because ever since I posted, our black cats have been getting adopted every day! The only cats that were adopted today (3 adoptions) were black. That makes 10 black cats adopted since Jan 2nd
