The black cat is a feline with a long list of unfortunate associations. The superstition that such cats are bad luck continues to steer many a prospective adoptee away from an otherwise perfect pet in favour of other breeds. This phenomenon—known as ‘black cat syndrome’—has led to the creation of Black Cat Awareness Month. Every October shelters around the world spend the month promoting their black cat rescues in order to improve public perception and help black cats find their forever homes.
In lieu with this fantastic cause Furry Friends is sharing a number of our black cat success stories. Without further ado meet former Furry Friends foster kitty: Natasha.
At just five months old, Natasha was a playful pound transfer surrendered to the Animal Welfare League in the Gold Coast, Queensland. Saved from death row with another kitten, Natasha was suffering from ringworm, an inability to fully retract her tongue, and a cold she had caught in the pound.
