Pet of the Week

I didn't realize black kitties got passed over so often. Look at Ducky! Doesn't Ducky look at lot like the Soot Sprites from My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away?

Ducky #6895523

Ducky is a 5-year-old female cat. Like many black kitties, she has been overlooked by visitors to the shelter in favor of her more colorful counterparts. She hopes that you will take a second look, though! Ducky was brought to Lollypop Farm because someone in her previous family developed allergies. She has lived with children before and did well with them. She’d be a great addition to your family, and she can’t wait to meet you! - Lollypop Farm

Brinie was adopted!

  1. Really? People don't like black kitties?!?! I had no idea! :(

    Good luck finding a happy non-discriminatory (hee) home, Ducky!

  2. there's something called the Black Dog Syndrome as well...black dogs all over the country are not adopted at local shelters...they suspect its a 'fear' thing, or that they aren't unique enough to catch folks' eye when they are looking for a dog...its quite sad...we have a black doberman we rescued from a local group...she's a great dog...

  3. As an owner of a black cat I can tell you that he has crossed my path several times and we believe has canceled out any bad luck that was to come.

    My black cat is very loving, he always chooses to lay in the same room I am in. We have also found he is attracted to black things. For instance my husband's guitar amps, black bags, etc. He is always found laying on them.

  5. My black cat is also attracted to black things, such as a pile of freshly-laundered socks. We adopted her because she was black and we know they get passed over. The more I hear about it, the more I think I will always have a black cat from now on.

  6. Our black cat is the sweetest, chillest kitty I've ever met. :) If anything, he's brought us only good luck.

  7. Java is my black cat's name, and he is by far the best cat I have ever had, and I grew up on a farm of cats. Ducky, though, I will say, doesn't look all that happy and loving. I'm hoping it's just that he/she frowned at the time of the photograph.
