🐈‍⬛ Black Cat Appreciation Day is more than a feel-good holiday — it’s also a reminder of a persistent challenge in animal welfare.

Research confirms that black cats face two significant disadvantages in shelters:
• Lower adoption rates
• Higher euthanasia rates

This “Black Cat Bias” (and broader “Dark Cat Syndrome”) has cultural roots — from centuries-old superstitions to subtle visual preferences — and it can affect how quickly cats find homes. In some cases, it even impacts the veterinary care they receive after adoption.

Our Trends article dives into Robert Carini’s study of nearly 8,000 cats in an urban Kentucky shelter and explores ways to counteract this bias, from better photography to reframing public perception.

Today’s the perfect day to challenge myths and celebrate black cats for what they truly are: loving, unique, and deserving of excellent care.

TNR is the ONLY humane and effective solution to end community cat overpopulation.

❗URGENT: We must act fast to stop a feeding ban against community cats in Parkersburg, West Virginia❗

The second and final reading of the ban will take place on AUGUST 12. If you live in West Virginia, please take just a minute to tell the Parkersburg City Council to vote NO. Or, SHARE this message with anyone who does:

➡️ https://actnow.alleycat.org/page/86566/action/1 ⬅️

If the proposed Article 505.24 passes this last reading, it will be illegal to feed community cats on Parkersburg city property, including parks. People who continue to feed would be fined hundreds of dollars for their compassion.

Feeding bans are ineffective and criminalize the action of advocates, leave cats who are accustomed to relying on feeding without that support, and make it impossible to carry out humane, effective approaches like Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). We have to raise our voices now and demand a stop to the ban.
