POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
This was supposed to go up on the 13th, but apparently meowmys has had her hands full with a couple of little distractions. 👀🐈‍⬛

Stay tuned… there might be a little surprise coming soon. ☺️

October is Black Cat Awareness Month, so I’m sharing the stories of 13 black cats…including yours truly. 🖤

We’ve spent far too long being surrounded by superstitions and stereotypes, but there’s so much more to us than the color of our fur. Every one of us has our own personality, our own story, and people who know just how special we really are.

So we may be a couple days late, but I think these 13 stories were worth the wait. 🖤

Swipe through to meet the crew. ➡️

MEET HUEY

6 years old • Former feral rescue • Tripawd

HIS STORY
Baby Bat Cat Huey is a former feral rescue and tripawd who is missing his back left paw.

PERSONALITY
Expressive • Extremely gentle • Shy at times

WHAT MAKES HIM UNIQUE
Huey plays fetch with his tiny catnip mice! I throw them, he retrieves them and brings them back to me, and the game begins all over again.

LIFE WITH A BLACK CAT
My favorite thing is knowing that I chose him… there was no overlooking this special boy! 🖤

BEYOND THE STEREOTYPES
I’ve heard the misconceptions about black cats, but they’re all false. I hope I’m fortunate enough to always have at least one black cat to share my life and love with.

IF HUEY COULD TELL YOU ONE REASON TO ADOPT A BLACK CAT…
“Adopting a black cat means a sleek mini black panther life upgrade!”

FROM HIS HUMAN
Black cats are beautiful, loving, and so worthy. 🖤

MEET OONA

HER STORY
Oona was found in the North Carolina woods with her siblings as a feral kitten at just 10 weeks old. The last to be adopted, she made her way to Connecticut in a rescue van caravan before coming home to Boston.

PERSONALITY
Opinionated • Kind • Epicurious

WHAT MAKES HER UNIQUE
Oona is obsessed with eating green vegetables. Beans are her favorite!

LIFE WITH A BLACK CAT
Besides having the most loving shadow imaginable, when she sheds, her fur blends right into our clothes.

BEYOND THE STEREOTYPES
Many people think black cats are bad luck, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Nobody is more loyal, and sharing your

Every rescue has a story. Every adoption changes a life.

In honor of National Adopt a Cat Month, we teamed up with some incredible cat parents to share the journeys that brought their beloved rescue cats home. From foster fails and bonded siblings to special-needs cats who were given a second chance, each story is a reminder of the life-changing impact adoption can have.

Thank you to @misterrumi , @simon.and.margot_gingercats , @babybatcathuey , @pixandpatch , and @dinodogs.n.friends for sharing your beautiful stories with us. ❤️

If you’ve adopted a cat, we’d love to hear your story! Share it in the comments below. 🐱
