What a beautiful little kitty! And thank you for really telling it like it is. It is sadly a growing problem for many reasons - people dumping cats, kittens and dogs off wherever they can, and most often, not with any guilt. I wish vets would step up to the plate and do low cost spaying and neutering but most seem to be in it for the money and not concerned about the serious problem of overpopulation! Citizens think shelters and rescues are there for them personally but they're wrong - they were never created to clean up avoidable problems that humans have created (not sterilizing, not taking their commitment after adoption seriously) - they were created for animals who were lost or for people who, for example, passed away.

Black cats really do have a harder time getting adopted - superstitions? Weird since people often complain about shedding and yet wear a lot of black so what better color! Go figure!

So thanks for taking this little cutiepie in and for helping to educate people in your work. We have a long way to go.
