Nine Reasons to Adopt a Black Cat

Did you know that black cats are among the hardest to adopt out? People have some strange ideas about black cats, and so often they get overlooked. I recently fosted three black cats, and have photographed dozens more – so today I’m going to give you nine reasons why you should adopt a black cat, along with photographic evidence.

1.) They are excellent photographers

Nobody knows why, but they have an innate ability with cameras

Basket Case

Today was rescue kitten day – I photographed six babies looking for their forever home through Paws and Tails. This beautiful baby boy absolutely stole my heart – he was a total sweetie.

Day Five

These little munchkins are getting bigger and more adventurous by the second – today I have started to wean them from their bottle to solids – Jamie has gotten the hang of it quite nicely but Nigella prefers to just trample through the food. I’m hoping once they are on solids I can start getting a bit more sleep!

Teeny Tiny

Meet my two newest fosters – as yet nameless but I’m leaning towards Nigella and Jamie. They are three weeks old and are keeping me very busy with bottle feedings every few hours, who needs kids right? I can’t wait to watch them grow up and discover their personalities – you’ll be seeing a lot more of them here in the weeks to come!

Bob – Still Waiting for Love!

Bob is so confused – he’s friendly, cheeky, sweet natured, clean, and is a dab hand at the laundry – yet nobody has asked to meet him! Today he’s putting on his fanciest outfit in an attempt to find his forever home. You can read his dating/Pet Rescue profile here. Please share this post with friends and family and help Bob find his purrfect match!
