If you’re a true cat lover, you probably already know or have experienced the love of a black cat, whether it’s a pet you met through a family member, a friend or a coworker. For whatever reason, black cats seem more loving, more puur-fect at getting positive attention from their owners.
Sophie
That certainly couldn’t be truer for one of KCAC’s feline residents, Sophie, a 4-year-old black domestic shorthair. Sophie has been at KCAC since last June and she really needs a forever home.
There are no words for how sweet, sweet-Sophie can be. With her gold eyes gazing into yours, pleading with you to pick her up and make her your only lap kitty for the day, she makes it difficult to walk away.
She may appear a bit shy at the outset, but that melts away as she quickly warms up and becomes your best friend.
Sophie is a little overweight, so keeping her lap-ready will require watching her diet and giving her plenty of playtime.
Sophie is patiently waiting for her new forever family to arrive to finally give her the best life she will ever have, but one that she definitely deserves.

Bosco
Congratulations to Bosco, last week’s Pet of the Week. Evidently, his lopsided ears “look” was just too cute to pass up, so his forever family opened up their hearts and their laps and took him home.
