🐈‍⬛It's National Black Cat Day!🐈‍⬛

Every year, black cats spend significantly longer in shelters waiting for a home than cats of any other color. Why?
Outdated superstitions, myths, and the silly belief that they aren't "photogenic" enough for social media.

✨At ARF-Texas we know the truth, black cats are pure magic!✨

They aren't bad luck—they are loving, loyal, and full of personality. Yet, "Black Cat Syndrome" remains a real obstacle for rescues nationwide, leaving these incredible mini-panthers overlooked day after day.

How you can join ARF-Texas in advocating for black cats today:

🖤 Break the Stigma! Educate friends and family that black cats carry no bad luck—only good vibes and endless love.

📸 Show Them Off! If you share your life with a black cat, drop their most photogenic picture in the comments below to prove the myths wrong!

📢 Amplify the Cause! Share this post to help ARF-Texas spread awareness and change the narrative for black cats everywhere.

Together, we can bust the myths and make sure every black cat gets the love and recognition they deserve. 🐾🖤

10/02/26 Day #5 of the Puppy Pack!
We have decompressed!
The puppies have adapted to our daily routine.

They began their morning with a 5:45 cry to go outside to potty! Like the well trained foster mom I am, I shot right up and hurried them to the front lawn.
Then back inside for 2 small chew sticks to keep them settled why the morning slowly began.
Puppies had breakfast at 6:45 and back outside to potty before coming inside for rest.
They have helped pull weeds and napped all morning.

I’m happy to report…… no more worms today!!!!

(PS 💚 Peri went to a new foster yesterday, and is doing great alongside the resident GSD)

10/1/26 Day #4 for the Puppy Pack!
I’m hoping we are on the down hill side of these DAMN PARASITES!
🤬😡🤬😡
The “breeders” of these puppies should be held responsible for not caring for these kiddos (nor their mother) properly.
If you don’t have the $2500+ to care for 6-9 GPD puppies your dog delivered, then WHY THE HELL is your female not spayed!!!!????

10/1/26 Day #4 for the Puppy Pack began at sunrise with potty breaks and WORMS!
Scroll down to see the results (P**P PIC) of IRRESPONSIBLE BREEDERS and inadequate care of these puppies while they were impounded at GCAC!!!

They had to continue to fight these parasites because GCAC completely FAILED to provide basic deworming during their holding period. 😡
These babies are only 8 weeks old and were heavily infested. Leaving these vulnerable young puppies to suffer from severe worm overgrowth while under “protective care” is completely unacceptable.
We expect our local county animal control to be a “safe haven” that provides BASIC medical intake care, not a place that allows preventable suffering to worsen.
Thank you to everyone who stepped up to save them, BUT we need accountability from GCAC! 🐾💔
