Midnight is a sweet and loving cat. This beauty is a 9-and-a half-year-old short-hair black cat. Sadly, this little girl seems to have been bounced around a bit lately by no fault of her own, so we are hoping that Midnight will find a forever home and live happily ever after.

Midnight is a quiet and loving cat who will do best in a peaceful and calm home. She did live with another cat in her previous home and really did not enjoy it, so we are looking for a feline-free family for her.

This gentle cat has the sweetest little purr motor and seems to want nothing more than attention and love. Midnight is a curious, playful, affectionate and outgoing kitty... all of the best things any cat can have!

Amazingly enough black cats and kittens are not adopted as quickly as other cats. We can blame this on a couple of things. Some people still believe in old superstitions about black cats being bad luck which is far from the truth.

Additionally, black cats don’t photograph well and aren’t distinctive enough to draw the attention of adopters like calicos or orange tabby cats. Sadly that means that many people pass them by, and the black cats aren’t even given a chance to make a connection to a potential adopter.

The real truth is that black cats are some of the best temperament cats you can spend time with. Watch this video for other reasons why you should adopt a black cat.
