Here's what the humans have to say about me:
f you like your Sundays lazy, have we got a cat for you. Elvira's favorite pastime is lazin around—on pretty much any surface, including you. And if you happen to shift a little or have an itch on your nose? Well, she won't complain. She's not very vocal, because it's not very relaxing. Maybe, while you're up, you can give that adorable Buddha belly of hers a rub? That'd be greeeeeeat. This beautiful girl is black with red tones which makes for a very pretty and unusual coat. She has a sweet personality and was born in 2012.
Have you heard of Black Cat Syndrome? It refers to the phenomenon that many shelters experience when it comes to adopting out black cats (and black dogs). Sadly, they are often the last to find forever homes. Why are black cats and dogs so often left behind? Many who work in rescue believe it has to do with the fact that it’s harder for people to read the expressions on the faces of the black cats and dogs. Additionally for cats, they carry the baggage of ridiculous superstition and being referred to as bad luck (although they are actually considered GOOD luck in the UK!!). Don’t pass up the opportunity to provide a forever home for a black cat or a black dog. You’ll receive a gift of love beyond your expectations!

We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com or Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com to learn more.
