While black cats may seem like an unappealing choice for adoption, some shelters are embracing them during the winter months. Many shelters will waive adoption fees and offer adoption deals to black cats. Therefore, black cats can be just as appealing as any other breed of cat. Black cats are easy to find by searching for these traits:
Roo
Roo the black cat for adoption is a young black tabby who is a recent arrival at the Homeless Cat Management Team. Although Roo may have some health issues, he is a friendly, well-behaved cat who will be able to benefit from special diet and regular vet visits. Furthermore, he has a history radial-aplasia so he is eligible to receive Rachael Ray Nutrish foods.
Apollo
Apollo, black cat for adoption, was found in a shelter when he was only four weeks old. Because he was too young for dry food, he was given puppy food mixed with water. He weighs in at 100 pounds now and consumes a 40-pound bag each three weeks of dog food. We'll never know how much Apollo grew up eating this diet, but we'll never know how long it took to get him to this point.
Plum
Plum is a beautiful black cat that is available for adoption in Manhattan. This kitten is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and neutered. This beautiful kitten is also litter-trained, and makes a great companion for any home. Plum is friendly and easy to care for.

Skyler
Skyler, the black cat is available for adoption. Skyler, a black cat for adoption, was rescued last summer from a hoarding home. He was skinny and afraid. He also had serious dental issues and was covered by green goo. He is now fully recovered and ready to go to his forever home. This handsome boy is a Black Silver King. He is sweet and gentle and loves the ladies. He is also negative in genetic tests.
Skyler's eye
In June, when a family in South Florida contacted Black Cat Rescue to ask about a cat for adoption, Skyler's eye caught their attention. She had been abandoned by her owner at a vet's office and treated for a puntured eye. Skyler was then left for dead after her owner abandoned her. In an effort to find a good home for this kitty, the rescue team decided to contact a local vet and arrange specialized care for Skyler. Skyler's tear duct system and eye socket were damaged by the vet who performed surgery. The eye infection was not only severe, but a rare bacteria was discovered in her eye. This caused her to develop a hole which was then causing the infection.
Foster home for Roo
It is important to keep in mind that Roo has been through a very difficult journey before you consider adopting a black cat. Roo, like all cats, is shy and timid. He spent almost half his life in a shelter, where he was filthy and overcrowded, without any veterinary care. Roo is not only shy but also unsure about handling animals and requires extra care.
Foster mother for Roo
Sarah Lauch (Roo's foster) has been tireless in her efforts to improve Chicago's animal rescue scene. She and her husband, Andrew, both volunteer for various organizations and were involved in the adoption of a special needs pit bull named Fifty. Roo was rescued after being kept at the Chicago Animal Care Center for the two-weeks she had been suffering from the canine illness. Roo was offered medical care by the pair.
Ruth
Ruth is a stunning black cat that is available for adoption. Ruth is a lovely lap cat. She's spayed and up to date on her shots. She's looking to be a calm, indoor cat who doesn't have other cats. She loves to cuddle and play with people. Ruth is a great cat companion for those who love cats. She is also good with children.

How To
How to teach your cat how to use the litter box
The litter boxes are great for keeping your pet's waste under control, but they can't be used well by cats. They're often too small (or just plain wrong) for them to get comfortable in, and they may end up smearing the mess around the floor and leaving it there.
To make sure you have the best chance of success when teaching your cat to use the litterbox, here are some things to keep in mind:
-
Your cat should be able to stand straight in the box, without having to lean down.
-
You should place it so your cat can go outside.
-
You can give your cat water when he needs it. He will be less stressed about using the litter box if he is well hydrated.
-
Avoid making loud or sudden movements when you first introduce the cat to the box, especially if your cat has been outside for a while.
-
Once he gets used to the idea, reward him with praise whenever he uses the box correctly. You might even want to include treats in his rewards, though these should only be given after he's done his business.
-
Do not force your cat to use the box. If he refuses, ignore him and let him go until he changes his mind.
-
Be patient! It might take several weeks before your cat uses the box every day. Be patient.
-
You should immediately contact your veterinarian if your cat is acting aggressively towards people or other animals. This could indicate something serious like a urinary tract infection or kidney disease.
-
Finally, remember to clean up after your cat daily, including the area around the box.
