It is a sad but true fact that black cats are always the hardest ones to adopt out, and they take the longest to find homes, no matter how sweet they are.
But, once in a while we get adopters that absolutely love the black ones and prefer them over all others. Dan and Elaine are just that type of adopter, and in the last year have adopted 5 beautiful, loving and charismatic black PFA cats: Charlie, Star, Emma, Nigella and Batman! Check out meal time at their house.
What a wonderful ending for all these lucky little cats!

Pictured above are two of the kittens that we rescued at the beginning of the winter from the streets of North Central. These particular kittens were born on the street, and when we trapped them, they had never been touched by people. Generally, we have found that feral kittens can be tamed if they are trapped before the age of about 12 weeks. These lovely felines were definitely borderline, and while we wanted to give them the chance at a better life, we knew it would take a lot of work. First, they were placed in foster homes, but while their foster parents tried extremely hard to work with them, they needed an even more intensive socialization process. So, we moved them over to our friends at Prairie Animal Assistance, where they have been intensively socialized with the help of an animal behaviourist. We are so grateful for their help in this process, and as you can see, the kittens are doing marvelously. They will soon be listed for adoption, and can look foward to long and contented lives as house cats.
