Did you know Cats Protection created
#NationalBlackCatDay
in 2011? 🐈⬛ Statics back then showed that black and black and white cats took an average of seven days longer to be adopted. 11 years later, on average, black cats now spend a similar time in care as any other cat. 💛
We love all cats, but older cats can get overlooked for adoption. Hear from a serial mature moggy adopter on what makes older cats so special and the joys of owning an older cat.
