"Never had a black cat before and I am utterly obsessed after adopting this QT from the shelter"

via u/ExtendedAdolescence

"his name is ozzy. the shelter told me he's around 3-4 but i suspect he may be younger based on his shape and teeth. taking him to the vet soon to get a check up and make sure he is recovering nicely after his eyelid surgery. love him to death, one of the friendliest and most intelligent cats i've ever met."

"I just adopted my first black cat!"

via u/Ecstatic-Fee-5623

"The shelter named him Beef, and I find that fucking hilarious so I think I'm going to keep it. They believe he's between 3-4 months. He's pretty scared of everything at the moment but I'm not surprised considering the cage chowhound had him in was tiny and there were 6 other kittens shoved into it. We thought he would need weeks to adjust but he's already playing, eating, drinking, and best of all, he already let us pet him! We got him yesterday, August 2nd. He is so far the most pet crazy kitten I've ever met, most cats like being pet but he will throw his whole body onto my hand repeatedly for like 15 minutes just wanting me to play with him! I love him already and he's my everything. Also: it is so hard to get a picture of him without him just looking like a blob"
