Black Cats – Color Variations

Black cats come in different shades. Some appear more grey and others more brown. Black “smokes” are lighter due to a white undercoat.  Auburn hued black cats have been in the sun.

Some black cats have tabby markings. If you look closely in the right light, you may be able to see the tell-tale striping, and even the classic bulls-eye.

Black cats often have white markings. The most common is a white spot on their necks, known as a locket. Black cats with white “bibs” are called Tuxedos.

Whiskers will often greet you when you enter her room.  She enjoys being held and is know as a 'shoulder surfer'.  She has beautiful golden eyes.  She loves to play and cuddle.

Gabriella - rescued March 2014

Gabriella is a little shy but is usually one of the first to greet you in her room.  She likes attention but is not demanding.  She is a sweet, quiet girl who loves to hang out in a cat-stand or in the window.

Phantom - rescued February 2014

Phantom is a gorgeous long-haired beauty.  He loves being held and sitting in your lap.  He purrs as soon as you give him attention.  Phantom would love to have a home to call his own.

Duke - rescued October 2013

Duke is very shy and timid around the other cats.  He likes to spend his time on a cat-stand away from his kitty roommates.  He is timid around people as well but loves to play with wand toys.  In fact, this would be great way to interact with him and gain his trust.  Duke may do well in a calm home with people who are willing to allow him time to become comfortable.
