Vola Lawson has a sign in the cat room titled "Ten Reasons to Adopt a Black Cat". Tops for Greg and me were "You don't need a lint brush for your tuxedo" and "You'll save a fortune on Halloween decorations". :-) The good news for VL is the sign apparently works. There was a small black Persian in the cage next to Duz. She'd been in a home with a FLV cat (though tested negative) and came to the shelter so tangled she had to be shaved. She was miserable, too, crying (not calling) all the time. But she was adopted out even faster than Pumba, and he was only there a month. You're a braver person than I am to help your local shelter, Pam. I was afraid if I hung around much longer I'd try to take at least half of them home with me.
