I am an inside cat only.

The sad plight of black cats & kittens
It is indeed unfortunate that black cats often face challenges in finding loving homes, despite their wonderful personalities and beauty.
The superstitions and beliefs surrounding black cats have varied throughout history and across cultures. While some cultures view black cats as symbols of good luck and prosperity, others have associated them with bad luck or even considered them as supernatural beings. These superstitions have, at times, contributed to the lower adoption rates of black cats.
The era of social media may have played a role in perpetuating certain stereotypes about black cats not photographing well. In the age of image-sharing platforms, certain aesthetic preferences and trends can influence people’s perceptions. However, this should not deter anyone from appreciating the beauty and charm of black cats, as their uniqueness can add a touch of elegance to any setting.
Black cats are just like any other coloured cat. Some are sweet, some are sassy. Some are lap cats, some are not. Each will have its own unique personality and temperament. Just like every other cat, black cats just want to be loved and cared for. They deserve a chance at a happy life, just like every other animal in need.
They can make wonderful companions for the right person or family. Some scientists have even theorised that the genetic mutation causing their black fur may provide certain health advantages, making them potentially more resistant to certain diseases.
Adopting a black cat can be a rewarding experience for those looking to welcome a new feline friend into their home. With their prevalence in shelters, adopting a black cat can also be a compassionate choice, as it gives these deserving animals a chance at a happy and fulfilling life.
Promoting the adoption of black cats, dispelling superstitions, and highlighting their positive qualities can help change the perception around these lovely creatures. By sharing positive stories and showcasing the beauty of black cats, we can encourage more people to consider them as potential pets and provide them with the love and care they deserve.
If you’re looking to add a new kitty to the family, black cats are easy to find. In fact, black cats take more than one-third of the rescue space in most shelters. So come and meet our black cats at Friends of the Pound, 17/39-41 Corporation Circuit South Tweed Heads or 1/29A Prospero Street Murwillumbah NSW and meet your next furry family member.
