Adoption saves a life. Spay/neuter saves hundreds!

ART’s SpayHR Program launched in spring 2010 with the Norfolk Pet Project, a spay/neuter campaign to help neighborhoods in Norfolk with high volumes of calls to Norfolk Animal Control. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to educate our community about the value of spaying/neutering pets and to assist the public in finding quality, low-cost spay/neuter services throughout Hampton Roads.

🐈‍⬛🖤 WE LOVE BLACK CATS!🖤🐈‍⬛

As we wrap up Black Cat Awareness Month, we're shining the spotlight on these gorgeous, often misunderstood kitties! 😻

But how did black cats ever get such an undeserved reputation for being bad luck?🤷🏻‍♀️

🕯️A LITTLE HISTORY🕯️

Centuries ago, black cats became associated with witches and witchcraft in parts of Europe. During the Middle Ages, people believed witches could transform into black cats or keep them as magical companions, known as familiars.🧙‍♀️

🎃AND WHY HALLOWEEN?🎃

Over time, those superstitions became part of spooky folklore. Black cats, witches, and Halloween became a familiar trio in stories, decorations, and pop culture. Unfortunately, the myths stuck around!📜

🖤BUT WE KNOW THE REAL STORY!🖤

Black cats aren't bad luck. They're GOOD luck wrapped in gorgeous black fur! They're playful, affectionate, mysterious, mischievous, and every bit as deserving of love as any other kitty.

🐈‍⬛A LITTLE HALLOWEEN REMINDER🐈‍⬛

🐾Keep your kitties of all colors safely indoors.
🐾Watch out for open doors and visitors coming and going.
🐾Keep them away from candles, decorations, and Halloween treats.
🐾Give them some extra love (and maybe a few treats)!

Let's celebrate black cats today and EVERY day! They deserve full bowls, warm beds, happy homes, and a lifetime of love.💯

Don't let old superstitions steal their chance at a happily-ever-after! Black cats aren't bad luck. They're just waiting to be YOUR good luck!🍀
