Black Cat Appreciation Day, August 17th.

Black cats are often not adopted because of superstition. Wow. Is is 1650AD already? Black Cat Appreciation day brings awareness to the problem and promotes adopting black cats from shelters. Kitten (and puppy for that matter) season is in full swing if you have space in your life for any color cat or dog, but the black kittens need you most.
