Thread: Declawed Senior Black Cat Gets Adopted And The Shenanigans Never Stop
There is absolutely nothing that we love more than seeing awwdorable and amazing senior cats getting adopted and enjoying their senior lives. Nothing. Knowing that these gorgeous cats got a second chance at a happy life at such an old age is the best thing, especially those who haven't had the best start at life. Such is the story of the following senior kitty that was shared by LovesToSpooge517 on imgur.
At a young age, this senior cat was declawed - which is an absolutely terrible thing to do to a cat. There are so many alternatives to declawing cats that people can implement. Luckily, two years ago, at the young age of 14, this energetic and purrfect black kitty was adopted right in time for Halloween, and ever since then, she has been living her very best life.

"Halloween will also mark 2 years since I adopted her from my local animal shelter."
This is one of the reasons that we love the Halloween season so much - black cats get adopted at a much higher rate. And it's true, yes, that some of those cats are only bought as gifts for the season and are not as loved as they should be, but a lot of them are, and that chance for a better life is something that we feel like we have to celebrate.

"One of her favorite places. Sometimes she freaks out at stuff she sees outside."
We are honestly kind of obsessed with her color. Yeah, yeah, it black, what the heck is so special about it? To that we say that it is not simply black, it is pure black, and when the sun goes down even more and there is darkness in that window, you will see nothing of this cat but her eyes, and if that's not something to obsessed over, we don't know what is.

"She was declawed in her youth, poor baby. I can’t put her claws back, but I give her good foods and play with her and love her like any human family member. She is such a sweet kitty!"
