Black Cat Appreciation Day Is This Friday!
It’s that time of year again! Black Cat Appreciation day is this Friday, August 17. And we hope you’ll join us in celebrating our feline friends by considering opening your heart and your home to an adorable black cat or kitten.
In honor of this special day, the ASPCA Adoption Center will offer a “name your adoption fee” promotion, where adopters who decide to take home a black cat or kitten will be able to decide how much they want to offer for their new pet’s adoption fee. All cats and kittens from our Adoption Center are also up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and have been spayed or neutered.
Below are some of the sweet black cats you could meet at the Adoption Center this Friday.
*Marion is currently living in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting this sweet girl for Black Cat Appreciation Day, please call our Adoptions department in New York City at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120.
The Adoption Center is also home to plenty of adorable black kittens as well. Stop by on Friday to meet them all!

Even if you’re not in the Tri-State area, we hope you will still celebrate Black Cat Appreciation Day by heading to your local shelter and giving a black cat or kitten a loving home. If you aren’t ready to adopt yet, help spread the word!
