Kitty Crush

One of the first things most people say to me when we discuss volunteering at an animal shelter is that they don't think they could do it without wanting to take them all home.

I don't. Or...I do. I mean, I don't do it without wanting to take them home. I do want to take them home. Not all of them all of the time, but I get what I call 'kitty crushes' on a regular basis.

There will be a cat that I feel an instant connection with and it hurts my heart to go home at the end of the night and not take them with me. Each week that they are there when I come in, it gets harder and harder not to bring them home.

October Shelter Cat of the Month

ALL THE BLACK CATS!

Yes, all of them. It's my favorite month of the year: cooler weather kicks in, the leaves are turning, and it all wraps up with my favorite holiday, Halloween!

So in an effort to remove the ridiculous stereotype that black cats are bad luck and in honor of them being sort of a mascot for Halloween, this month we feature the black cats of Great Plains SPCA, Independence.


You'll notice that this includes Dr. Mew, one of our September cats.

Today, tomorrow, and Sunday, you still have the opportunity to nab one of these cool cats for FREE. Yup - all adult cats are fee-waived through October 4th.

ETA: my nails are even getting into the spirit
