Today, India and Scully were spayed and vaccinated. They are now ready for adoption. I know it is a slim if best chance of India getting adopted- being a pure black kitten, but Scully has a good chance being that she is pure gray and a long-hair. These are the two of the four kittens who were poisoned early on.
The newest mackeral girl I am calling Glory as she has a glorious patterned coat. I took her in in the hopes that she was micro-chipped (nope) and also got her tested. She tested negative. Here she is in all her Glory…
She is very friendly but very nervous and doesn’t sit well for a photo. I will be bringing her into the bedroom in a few days after the girls recover from their spay and go back out into general population.
The two kittens upstairs, the mackeral tabby and the Siamese mix are still hiding from me. I see glimpses of them when I go to feed, but the food is being eaten, the pet fountain has run dry twice and the litter pan has activity so I just let them hide. They need to know this place is safe-
India’s chances of adoption will be good with the right person. I know of a woman who adores black cats and has adopted four through her life. There are others out there who don’t care about colour or who, like my friend, prefers black ones. India just needs to find the right owner.
I wish that were true, but in this small town and the outlying areas, black cats are an object of suspicion and mistrust. Shelters won’t even take them anymore. I have to travel at least 4-6 hours to take black cats to homes that appreciate them. It is sad but it is the way of it around here.
I can’t see her face, but she looks to be possible American Shorthair brown tabby like my girl Paris (though patched tabby)?
Beautiful girl!
