This week, we are featuring two out of our many beautiful black cats. Black cats are one of the most misunderstood colors of cat in the US, due to superstition and folklore from the past; we can assure you that these cats are some of the most loving, playful cats you could ever adopt. In fact, you would be LUCKY to adopt one of these stunning cats. Just ask someone overseas, where black cats are largely regarded as a good luck charm!
Tracy is a petite girl with a little bit of shy streak but big on love. She adores human affection and will practically melt in your arms if you hold or pet her because she loves it so much. If you have a minute to spend with her, you will realize that she is a major lover and appreciates every scratch or pet you give her. Otherwise, give her a good window seat and she’s content to relax. She enjoys playing with toys and laser pointers as long as the other cats don’t overwhelm her because she is easily intimidated when things get a little too noisy and crazy. Other cats are fine as long as they aren’t aggressive and quiet, older children are fine too. In her little bit of experience with dogs, she hasn’t done very well (she is too intimidated). This might be different with a smaller or more reserved dog but we’re certain. A quiet house without too much activity is ideal for her.

Chipotle, on the other hand, is full of attitude and mischief. He is an outgoing boy who demands attention, both because of his looks and because of his persistence. He is a big, solid DMH male (black with white accent on the toes and chest) with a fluffy plume of a tail and bright white whiskers. It’s hard to miss him when you walk in the door because 9 times out of 10, he is right there, wanting you to pet him or play with him. He loves to steal things, as our volunteers have discovered; he apparently has an affinity for stealing the dish sponge when volunteers are trying to clean water bowls. Similarly, when our volunteer professional photographer came in for the first time, he made it a point to be present the entire time and help her ‘adjust’ her studio lights that were easily twice his size. He wants to know what’s going on at all times and won’t let you forget it. Overall, he is one of our most outgoing, attention-hog cats. Chipotle also loves laser pointers and catnip so if you want a playful cat, he fits the bill. He tolerates other cats but can sometimes be a little overbearing so would be best in a no-cat cat household OR a household with laid-back, easy going cats. He enjoys the company of older kids but might be disinterested in a younger, louder child. Overall, he’s a very confident cat who is perfect for just about any house.

Adoption fees are $75 for one cat or $100 for a pair. This helps offset our costs which include: spay/neuter, first round of shots, flea treatment, deworming, and negative test results for feline leukemia and FIV. Our adoption contract specifies all adoptables are to be indoor-only cats and are not to be declawed.
