From my ongoing series of animals that live in a German animal shelter…

Emilia (and her kittens)

Emilia had to be a mother very early. Already at the age of about 7 months she had offspring. She raised her kittens at our shelter and prepared them for the wide world. The offspring has moved out in the meantime and now it's time for Emilia to be the center of attention. She never has to have offspring again and is now allowed to look for a home of her own. Yes, it is true that black cats have it harder when it comes to adoption! A recent study has named 3 reasons for this. 1. People think that black cats are less friendly and more aggressive. 2. People are superstitious. 3. People think that they cannot read the emotions of black cats. The best way to find your next cat without reservations is to go to the shelter and meet them eye to eye, because sometimes you will be surprised which cat will choose you. They know best!

The intention of my posts is not to find people that adopt those pets. This German animal shelter accepts only local adoptions and has a very good placement rate. My intention is to raise awareness for all those beautiful pets in the shelters out there waiting for you to be their hero. Go to your nearest animal shelter to find your new pet. Adopt! Don’t shop!
