Why wait until after Christmas? Some sweet kitty stuck in the shelter would be delighted to have a new home for Christmas? :-)
Yes, black cats are harder to place and many shelters have days that they give them away rather than charge the adoption fees for them.
I’m just not ready yet, radu.
Minette was with me for 16 years, I only just lost her right after Halloween.
It just takes time, you know?
