4th Aug 2011, New homes for cats needed!, York Cats Protection Adoption Centre, 582 Huntingtin Rd, York, YO32 9QA
York Cats Protection Adoption Centre is struggling to find new homes for the cats and kittens in its care.
In particular we are finding it hard to home black cats – which for some reason appear to be the least popular colour of cat. At present about one third of the cats in our care have black coats.
Because of this ‘colour bias’ we find that the black cats tend to languish in the Adoption Centre for longer periods than the other cats – even though we have some real beauties in at present!
Visit our website for more information and to see the cats available for adoption:
