September is Black Cat Month Help us find their Forever Homes

I never realized that black cats are one of the animals that have a hard time finding a Forever Home when they are up for adoption. Since it is Black Cat Month I want to feature a few that need you now.
If you have a web presence why not link to Pet Finder or add a post now and then to help out these beautiful voiceless friends.

Here are just a few of the thousands that are in need. To see more from your area visit Pet Finder. 

Hardee

Domestic Short Hair-Black: An adoptable cat in Naperville, IL

Medium • Adult • Male

I may walk a bit funny but I get around just fine. Everybody I meet gets a head butt to show my affection. I get a little nervous when people pick me up, but I'll jump up next to you and give you all the loving you could possibly ask for. I get along with other cats just fine and could probably get along with a quiet dog. Hardee came to ADOPT with a torn Achilles tendon on his back leg. He saw a specialist and seems to be walking much better these days! He is able to get around quite well and is not in pain. He was born around February 2010 and came to ADOPT in February 2012.

Hey folks, are you up for fun and games?  Come on into the kitten room and I will hop on your shoulder and show you around the place.  I'm an easy going fellow who can't wait to show everyone how much I love them.  I'm a playful guy but love nice warm laps to curl up in.  Need someone to ride around on your shoulder?  I'm your man.

I wasn't going to post Puma because his photo is blurry but I thought it very unfair to pass up anyone because of something so superficial. I clicked on his link and she deserves to get posted.

Adopt a Pet - Where to go with pictures

There are too many animals that are in need of the most basic care. They are ready to give you love in the 100 fold for the simplest things. Since I have been looking at the internet I am shocked seeing the untold numbers in need of a 'Forever Home' .  At times I just can not go on looking at the faces and reading the stories because it makes me sad knowing I can't help them all, but I try to get back to them as soon as I can. I hope that my work can do something to help them. I would love comments if for nothing else but to let me know that this is not in vain.  

The go to places to find pets in your area  Petfinder.com, Adoptapet.com or the ASPCA website. 

Don't be afraid to ask about possible transport of a pet you found outside your area. It is amazing the number of people who can't actually keep an animal that are making their contribution by trying to give transport.

There are two places you should avoid getting your puppy from at all costs 

Puppy Mills and Pet Stores
