BLACK CAT APPRECIATION DAY

Jensperspectiveblog 16 Comments
Meet Leo (orange) and Hariett (black). They enjoy long naps together and anything catnip. Our YouTube channel. We accept Amazon donations to care for ferals. We provide food, water and veterinary along with TNR as we can manage it.

Black Cat Appreciation Day on August 17th aims to dispel all myths surrounding black cats. Additionally, the day shouldn’t be confused with National Black Cat Day.

Superstitions aside, cats are simply adorable, even black ones. These feline creatures in their sleek, black coats may carry an air of mystery. However, most cats do. Along with that, their ability to find mischief or to avoid you equals that of tabbys, cinnamons, gingers, calicos, whites or grays.

However, one black cat fact that holds true is they are less likely to be adopted. Just like black dogs, this variety of cat gets shunned at shelters. Despite this, black cats still respond to love and attention no differently than other felines.

So, let a black cat cross your path. They aren’t witches. More than likely, adopting a black cat will help keep the mouse population down around the place. Expect the number of cuddles in your life to increase, too!

Charlie was abandoned by his previous owners. After a diligent search for his owners, we adopted him. He was already so socialized and sweet, we could not even consider consigning him to a shelter. We already had 3 cats but there was no way this personality would do well in a shelter.

He started out as my kitty, due to some health issues and a natural preference he now adores my husband. They talk, and Charlie will talk and lead you to his treats.

Sadly Charlie crossed the rainbow bridge 3 years ago. We have several Ferals that we care for including an Alfie, Righty, Kitten and Blackie. The latest ones that have become part of our feral group are Domino and Stripes.

NATIONAL PET DAY

Jensperspectiveblog 25 Comments

National Pet Day on April 11th dedicates the day to those pets who may not always get the companionship and attention pets deserve. While loving our pets is something we do every day, the observance encourages helping out orphaned pet companions. It will improve their health and enhance their opportunities for adoption.

Sometimes their human companions aren’t well.  Making sure their forever furry friends are receiving the best of care will help relieve stress and worry.

National Pet Day is an excellent time to do a few checks for your pets.

  • Go through your furever family member’s toys. Throw away any items that are no longer safe.
  • Maintain your pet-friendly home. Keep cords and toxins secure from your four-legged friends. This includes phone chargers.
  • Verify when vaccinations are due and schedule an appointment to update if they are due.
  • Check collars to ensure tags are secure and numbers are current. We sometimes forget to update this information when we move or change numbers.

NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY

Don’t be superstitious on National Black Cat Day! October 27th celebrates the beauty of these sleek creatures. The day also seeks to raise awareness about the low adoption rates for black cats.

Tom, Alfie, Blackie and Harry
Tom is the big orange ‘tom’. Harry, Alfie and Blackie surveying the yard.
Righty
Right is one of newest additions. I know he’s tuxedo but from the back you can’t tell him or his mom from the all black cats.
Kitten
Kitten is from a feral that we todate been unable to catch.
Angel is now a healthy 2 year old still looking for a fur ever home.

This time of year, many black cats may decorate many thresholds for Halloween and windows for spooky decor. However, these felines deserve the love and attention just as much as their tabby equivalents. Old notions have given these furry critters a bad reputation. The day is about turning that reputation around.

Charlie was abandoned by his previous owners. He walked right up to us and that was it. We made arrangements with our landlord at the time so we could try and find his owners. After several weeks, the weather turned cold. Sadly we lost Charlie this year to old age and cancer. He was 15 years old.

My husband didn’t think we should bring him inside as we already had 2 cats. I calmly explained that it was too cold for him on the balcony. So Charlie became an indoor kitty. No one ever came forward to claim him so he’s my husband’s baby.

They talk, he’s followed everywhere. He sings when bringing gifts, toys, pillow, or pompom. My husband has given him a place to sleep on the desk in his office.

Meet Hariett.  She needed a safe loving home. So she is now the all black kitty in the house.  She loves to play fetch.

NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY HISTORY

Cats Protection, an animal charity in the United Kingdom, founded National Black Cat Day to raise awareness concerning the lower rates of adoption for black cats.

More Cats?

This is a cat only rescue.

HOW TO OBSERVE #BlackCatDay

If you are a cat lover and considering adopting, don’t overlook the ebony to go with your ivory.  Knock those irrational fears to the door and open your home to the dark side!  Visit a shelter near you and explore the ebony options available in the cat room. Volunteer if you don’t have the opportunity to adopt. You’ll be able to spread the word about these svelte beauties. Despite their look, they each exhibit a different persona.

If your home is graced with a black cat, share photos of your fine feline on social media. Let the world know there’s nothing to fear.

Use #BlackCatDay to share on social media.

If my husband leaves the house, or even goes to a room Charlie cannot follow he serenades at the top of his lungs. He also sings to us when he brings you a catnip mouse toy or pompom.

Inky with Charlie
Mr Personality Charlie, his friend and fellow adopted friend in the tuxedo is Lady. The White/Tortie is his minion in training, Wylie. Now you know who runs our house. We have a little orange tabby, it’s harder to get good pictures of her as she is nicknamed the streak! All our fur babies are rescues and adoptions. We highly recommend it. Last but certainly not least, meet Inky. When laying next to Charlie it looks like a printer ran out of ink.

Every day the man who swore we did not need another cat spends extra time in the bathroom with him. This is thier private time. He’s even teaching our newer additions to carry on his traditions.
