Today is National Cat Day! We hope that you are going to do something to show your love for cats even if it is just spending a little more time with your beloved cat. We collected some cat rescue stories that are posted below, but first, we'd like to make this announcement: Because of the black cat being a symbol for halloween, some people have associated black cats with evil purposes. This superstition has caused some black cats not to be able to find nice homes. However some studies have shown (but not proven) that cats with black fur might generally have better behavior. And speaking of black cats, if you own a black cat they would make a great Halloween picture to send in for the Halloween photo contest!
But back to the cat rescue stories! Here are some of the cat rescue stories we've collected...
A cat named Buddy was saved by HART from a rural shelter after his owner became ill and couldn't care for him. Buddy was adopted February of 2011.
A cat named Smoky was rescued off the streets and nursed to health.
A cat named Ellie was rescued from an adoption event where she was being mistreated by a mean cat.
A cat named Boog was rescued from living outside after she had continually showed up at a particular house over and over.
A cat named Lucky was rescued from a parking lot full of people but she belonged to no one. He was very scared but turned out to be a very nice cat. He almost didn't make it because he was sick but turned out ok.
