Now this is a Tuxedo you can afford!

 

In the words of Three Dog Night...The ink is black, the page is white... Some cats are both, it’s quite a sight! A beautiful sight...Wait, you mean those aren’t the real lyrics?? They should be!! Peel free to share the post and spread the word about the awesome cats at Almost Home Cat Haven!

Come Meet our beautiful Calico’s.

 

Calico cats come out tonight, Calico cats come one come all: The Calico Moon is shining bright-Calicos come to the Calico Ball. Calico cats are orange, black and white, Calico cats can be big or small; No two calicos look exactly alike, And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul. Calico cats have intriguing faces, Calico cats have bright green eyes; They like to practice their airs and graces Most are likely quiet and shy!


(Blatantly lifted and tweaked from TS Eliot’s “Song of the Jellicles”. If you’re familiar with the musical “Cats”, it’ll sound familiar! )

Just an extra bit of trivia... only 1 in 3000 calicos are male, and the majority of those are sterile. It all has to do with those X and Y chromosomes!

After a crazy week, I know you’re ready for a nice, warm Purrsday Thursday post! Unbeknownst to many folks, Siamese cats come in all hair-lengths and even different colors! Did you know they were once thought to carry the souls of departed Thai (formerly known as Siam) royalty?? We’re lucky to have several varieties of these cool cats at Almost Home Cat Haven! Since we have just a few of these regal-looking loves, they each get 2 pics!! Click on their pictures to get a full description on our FB page.

Black Beauty Cat Week!

According to the dictionary: “Black is the darkest color, the result of the absence or complete absorption of visible light.” However, we have a collection of black beauties who would love to be the light of your life!! Black cats are ALWAYS the last to be looked at and adopted at the shelter, yet they are often the friendliest kitties with the best personalities! Please consider a black beauty next time you adopt!
