A Montreal Animal Shelter Is Looking For A Forever Family For These Black Cats

Because it's Halloween and even witches can have pets.😺

Did you know it takes longer to find homes for black cats than for any other feline? The Montreal Animal Rescue Network made the claim in an October 28 tweet aiming to attract the attention of Montrealers in need of a furry feline friend to cuddle with this winter and beyond.

The no-kill shelter said that it will feature a different adoptable black cat every day until Halloween. So, hopefully, some loving witches and sorcerers will find their perfect purring match this spooky season.

To adopt one of the cats listed, you can fill out the online adoption form and a volunteer will contact you to arrange an appointment.

Wondering which bewitching black cats are up for adoption? Here are four adorable cats in need of a forever family — among many others available for adoption.

Sirius

Estimated birth date: June 19, 2021

Sex: Male

Type: Domestic medium hair (medium coat)

Description: Sirius is named after the beloved character from the Harry Potter saga, the Montreal Animal Rescue Network said. He was found wandering the streets when he was only a few months old and is often described as a little nervous at times, but friendly with grown-ups and other felines, the shelter said. However, he doesn't love being around kids. Same, Sirius, same...

Sex: X-large Adult Male

Type: Domestic medium hair (medium coat)

Description: Yogi is a senior indoor cat who is slightly overweight (we're all carrying COVID weight Yogi, so don't worry), so you'll have more to love for a cheaper adoption fee. This cute little guy gets along well with other cats and could live with children, the shelter says.
