Black cats are the hardest to rehome!

paddypaws101

Any rescue centre will tell you that black, or black and white cats are the hardest for them to re-home, either for silly reasons of superstition or just that people overlook them in favour of the 'prettier' coat patterns.
A lovely professional photographer with a black and white beauty of his own, volunteered his time and skill to visit https://www.scratchingpost.co.uk to take some shots of these little beauties and has put together a video for youtube

Please watch it and enjoy, then re-post the link on FB or any other pet forums you may use, so that these lovely cats get a chance of a happy new home.

They say the same about black dogs too.

But my dogs, with one exception, have always been black and I really think they are the most attractive dogs you can hope to meet.

4 of our 9 cats are black and we make a point of taking the ones that other people won't take, to give them a chance. I'll always choose an older adult cat over a kitten, for example. My Mum's friend runs The Scratching Post and does a fantastic job.

The ASSISI had loads of Black as well as B&W kittens after kittening season ended,these kittens will grow into adults & the majority of them will move into the main cattery while awaiting their forever home.

Isn't it the most wonderful cat rescue?
I am heading up there just now to buy some Natural Instinct raw cat food.
Wow, 9 cats.....hmm, I only have 8, maybe I could squeeze one more in???:eek:

Aww, this post breaks my heart, because these little kittens should be spending their adolescence in a warm cosy home, not cooped up in a rescue shelter (however wonderful! ):mad:

I just don't get it, if people love cats surely they love them all no matter what colour they are. I adopted two of my cats when they were about six months old, one is black with a white bib and white feet and the other is balck and white, they are so pretty and adorable I wouldn't swap them for anything.

Strangely enouugh my little black one with a white bib and feet (Rocket) has two identical feline friends down the road. Luckily one of them is identical in all but that she has long hair (Rosie) but whenever I see the other one sitting in his front garden I always want to say "Rocket what are you doing down here you naughty boy!" Its amazing.

Oh, Spike....you see, that's just how they should ALL be treated, home comforts and unlimited love. Sadly there are just not enough homes to go round....

I'd love another (or 2) but sadly wee cat hates other cats ...... funnily enough, she's the 1st none black or black & white cat I've had!

The others have all been so much more laid back!

And yes .... the next one will certainly be b or b&w!

My mum rehomed a black cat 15 years ago; she only has one eye (the cat, not my mum!) which made it even harder to rehome. Luckily, my mum saw her and the rest is history.
