  • Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet Day

    August 12 is Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet Day and I hope with all my heart that people will consider pets with problems when they are ready to adopt.

    Problems?

    Yes...

    Older pets are the ones that have the hardest time finding new homes.

    Pets with medical problems are also high on the list of pets that can't get adopted.

    Third - pets who are victims of breed prejudice.

    Recently I've adopted three homeless black cats. Too often black shelter cats are overlooked in favor of cats with markings. It breaks my heart that these precious creatures are under-appreciated, so I wrote about it: Black Cats Need Love Too!

    My plea for black cats: If you're going to adopt a cat with markings, please consider adopting a black cat at the same time. They are usually well mannered and very grateful for all the affection they receive.
