These Black Cats Don’t Believe in Superstitions! Help Them Find Homes!

National Black Cat Appreciation Day might be in August, but why would we limit ourselves to only celebrating kitties with black coats once a year? Despite some unfair and untrue superstitions, black cats are just as loving, friendly and wonderful pets as any other cat. To prove it to you, we’d like to introduce you to some of the sweetest black cats who are currently looking for homes at the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City.
Meet Magnificent Minnie!

Minnie is a social and low-maintenance girl who thrives on headbutts, ear scratches and plenty of pets! This delightful lady is happy to be petted anywhere on her body and won’t get overstimulated, making her the perfect companion for endless affection. Minnie is also a fan of playtime, especially with her favorite toys like the Cat Dancer and her banana toy.
If you're looking for a well-mannered, affectionate kitty who loves attention and is always up for playtime, Minnie might be the perfect fit for you! Check out her profile to learn more!
Could Betta Be the One for You?

This sweet and gentle cat is eagerly looking for a loving home where he can feel safe and cherished. Though Betta may take time to warm up to new environments and people, once he’s comfortable, he’s full of love. Betta loves to make biscuits on soft blankets, and he’ll knead away with pure joy. When it’s time to nap, you can find him curled up on top of his toys. His calm and patient nature makes him a loving companion — he just needs some time to show off his true self!

Say Hello to Simi!

His playful spirit shines through, and he’ll make sure to let you know when he’s ready for a cuddle or a treat. He’s an expert at making biscuits when he’s content and loves to ask for pets. Simi has a curious side too, and he enjoys exploring new spaces, especially when there’s a chance to get some attention.

Fjord and Krill Have Been Waiting for You!

Meet Fjord and Krill! This bonded pair love playing and spending time together and can often be found curled up napping together. These darling girls are the best of friends, so they must go home together.
Fjord loves finding cozy low spots to relax and will gently rub against you when she’s ready for affection. She opens at her own pace, and once she does, she’s a total love bug. One of the first signs of her trust is a slow blink — her special way of saying, “I love you.”
As soon as Krill warms up, her curious and affectionate side shines through! She enjoys attention on her own terms and will let you know when she’s ready for love, especially with a gentle headbutt. Playtime and treats are the way to her heart, helping to build her confidence. She also adores forehead kisses from her favorite people.
