WHISKERS OF THE WEEK

Week of October 10, 2021 - Blackie

Blackie is a handsome all black DSH, around 18 months old, who came into the shelter as a stray on August 27. Blackie is extremely affectionate, so we know he must have been living in a home. He has melted the hearts of all the staff and volunteers, and we are so glad this sweet boy is with us now, so we can help him find his true forever home. It is taking longer than we expected, as often happens with black cats. Silly superstitions continue to cause awesome cats like Blackie to get stuck in shelters for way too long. October is Black Cat Appreciation Month, so come in soon to meet Blackie and fall in love. Your new house panther is waiting for you at Sangamon County Animal Control in Springfield, IL.
