Adopt some lucky black cat charm from Cats Protection!

‘Adopt a black cat and good fortune could come your way this year,’ is the message from Cats Protection’s West Lothian Branch

We currently have five black cats in our care and want to encourage people to adopt their very own lucky charm.

They include Zara, Kurayami, Amber, Molly and Mitsy - all gorgeous cats, all ready to be rehomed and all in desperate need of their forever home.

Black cats can symbolise good luck and fortune. In years gone by, sailors’ wives kept black cats as they believed their presence would protect their husbands from the dangers of the seas. It is also well known that if a black cat enters your home uninvited and settles on your hearth, then any business in the family will prosper.

King Charles I of England is probably the most famous person in history to have owned a black cat. He believed his black feline brought him good luck so he made sure it was guarded every day. In a strange twist of fate, the day after the cat died the King was arrested by Cromwell’s troops.

Roz Fleming the Branch spokesperson says: “The West Lothian Branch has a number of cats all looking for loving homes and since black cats are considered lucky, giving one a second chance could be fortunate for you both!”
