Port Jefferson Station, NY - November 6, 2013 - Instead of dealing with the lines and crowds at your local retail stores, Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue and Adoption Center, Inc. is advising you to consider adopting a black cat in need of a special home on Black Friday, November 29, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Often, black cats are less likely to be adopted due to superstitions and their tendency to appear to age more quickly because of excessive gray hair. According to a study conducted by the University of California at Berkeley, orange or Siamese cats are almost always adopted before darker-colored cats.
Many forget the benefits of adopting a black cat, one being that their ebony hair is less noticeable if it clings to clothes and furniture. Another is their playful personalities and elegant appearance.
At this event, Save-A-Pet will be waiving adoption fees for black and black-and-white cats in hopes of getting their furry adoptees a permanent home.
“We are excited for ‘Black Cat Friday’ because we continually see a lack of adoption for black cats,” says Save-A-Pet Founder/President Dori Scofield. “We are hoping that this event will help the public see how friendly and gentle these cats can be. We’ve got some wonderful black and black-and-white cats available for adoption and we’re urging the public to come and meet them on Black Cat Friday.”
For more information on the Black Cat Friday adoption event or general adoption inquiries, please contact Save-A-Pet at 631-473-6333 or visit www.saveapetli.org.
