This is Zippy, he was born to a feral mama and has been homeless since birth. He had a calico sister with a bad eye, but between mama's fierce hisses and his sister's timid nature, we couldn't capture her to get her the medical attention she needed before she went missing.

Luckily Zippy grew healthy and happy, learning to love his trusted human feeders. He is adorably friendly once he feels safe, loves rubbing up against people asking for pets and even became playmates with a neighbor's foster pups.

Black cats have a bad rep, often not adopted because of their colour. The homeless life is hard on them (as if they didn't have enough troubles already, they're also at higher risk of getting hit by vehicles at night).

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Help us find Zippy his safe loving furever family. If you have space in your heart and your home for a boisterous black boi, please let us know!
