Debbie,
It actually beats the heck out of me! I'm guessing there is still a
stigma with some humans about black cats and dark energy, witchcraft and
the like. Superstitious crap is my guess. I love black cats, but they
are hard to get adopted most places. I went out on a call to rescue
this adorable little, maybe 5 week old solid black kitten that someone
had dumped near the sales office of a new construction development. At
the time I had a very sick fiv/felv kitty and I couldn't take the chance
of fostering the little one. I had a heck of a time finding a rescue
that would take this little angel in.

out of curiosity - why would a cat have a strike against her for being black?
I'm curious.

Subject: sweet kitty in sw Michigan needs help
Hi Nan,
I took the liberty of changing the subject line of your post to better
indicate what it's about. What a little love this girl sounds like!
Poor angel on her own with no front claws trying to get into the safety
a human's car. It makes me want to go and scoop her up myself, (I won't
even mention that to Bruce or my overcrowded household).
Who has the cat right now? Has anyone posted flyers at the campground
in case she accidently became lost from her people? Someone might be
heartbroken and looking for her as I type this. Are you checking local
papers for lost ads? Has someone posted a found ad in the paper near
where the campgrounds are? They should also file a found report with
the local animal shelter and ask if anyone has reported her missing to
the shelter.
She does have a strike against her because she's black, (I personally
love black cats), but she has quite a rescue story and that might help
to find her a home. The very best to you and this sweet baby, please
let us know what happens to her. Hey... Wasn't there just someone very
nice on this list that was thinking about adopting a neg cat??? Who was
that? Wasn't it Marissa?? Marissa, did you end up adopting more cats
yet??
