Less fortunate black/black & white cats and kittens


Yet again more black/black & white kittens and cats in rescue are being overlooked. It appears prospective owners are becoming very choosy as to which colour they want, which is such a shame.

Anyone looking for a new furry friend, please give all B/B&W kitties a second look, you may well be surprised by the joy they will give you in return.

Re: Less fortunate black/black & white cats and kittens


I wonder why they are over looked .....I love black and white cats, my first ever cat was black with 1 small white patch my mum got him from cats protection I think, I was only 8.

When I left home to live with my OH we got a black/white cat called curley from destitute animals in bolton he was 3, he was fab he use to come with us when we walked the dog , he was in rta when we moved he was 7 poor thing.

Ditto as Laragreg and Moli above. The B&W, IMO VERY elegant looking cats - suave and sophisti-cat-ed!

I agree - I would never turn down a cat because of colour.

Have to say solid gray and B&W are, I think the only colours I've not had (yet)

As if people are refusing even to view them! Also the bit, "I want a grey kitten aged 8 weeks, to collect in 2 weeks time". Says it all! They don't deserve any cat or kitten IMO.

Have to say, I have never ever went looking for a cat of a specific colour, if I was looking for a cat I never did mind what suit it was wearing.

Re: Less fortunate black/black & white cats and kittens


Such a shame, I'd never part with my black and black&white cats, actually no one would take Eva on anyway but I love her to bits.
DD used to get alot of calls asking for specific coloured kittens .
I often say things like how I'd love another grey or silver tabby but really if I could help any cat, I would regardless of colour.

Same here: I can't understand the prejudice. My black Onyx was a lovely cat once she got over her wariness around people.
