The fate of homeless, adult black cats constantly remains in question at shelters. A 2002 study in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science found that black cats were up to two-thirds less likely to be adopted than other cats. Being a homeless cat is hard enough, but the sad truth is that certain types of cats are bypassed by adopting families time and again.
Not Every Cat Is a Kitten
Age may be an even more important issue than color. For those who wish to bring home a new cat, kittens of any color are hard to resist. Their furry faces and playful antics often steal the show at adoption events, while adult cats quietly sit alone in their carriers. "Kittens usually fly out the door because they are so popular," says San Francisco SPCA spokeswoman Jennifer Lu. "Once cats lose their kitten-ness, it becomes harder to adopt them out."
Inga Fricke, director of Sheltering and Pet Care Issues at The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) based in Washington, D.C., adds that "animals with special medical or behavioral needs are more difficult to adopt than puppies and kittens." Lu explains that cost is often the concern. "If an animal needs a certain medicine that's expensive, just as a practical issue, some potential owners are unwilling or are unable to take on that cost," she says, adding that her organization will sometimes issue special medical dispensations covering the additional cost.
Black, Senior Cats Are Often Overlooked
Even if a black adult cat is in perfect health and has a sweet nature, it may still remain in the shelter. One reason is simply that black cats are more common, perhaps because this color is just genetically more dominant among cats. Old superstitions may also be to blame, suggests Bobbie Gambarini, who fosters cats and who recently volunteered for a Black Is Beautiful cat adoption event in California. She thinks some people believe black cats are unlucky, even though in parts of Europe they're actually believed to bring good luck to their owners.
The biggest reason, however, may have to do with how well the cats photograph. In this social media age, people often surf the Net before visiting shelters. Professional photographers aren't always available to snap the most flattering shots of scared homeless cats, so some cats disappear into dark backgrounds and poor lighting.
Turning the Tide
Groups across the country are trying to increase the rate of adoptions for all cats, and especially those that need the extra boost. Fricke shares that the HSUS has joined together with Maddie's Fund and the Ad Council to create the first-ever public advertising campaign to promote adoption, The Shelter Pet Project. Boston-based Black Cat Rescue and other organizations are also building awareness while finding cats homes.
Frequently overlooked cats often make better pets. "Older animals, for example, are beyond the annoying chewing stage, are typically fully trained and are much more 'What you see is what you get' than younger animals who have not fully developed their personalities yet," says Fricke.
Christina Alvarez, director of Hopalong & Second Chance Animal Rescue in Oakland, Calif., adds that such cats also tend to be:
The experts often practice what they preach too. Lu, who adopted three adult pets, advises that anyone who desires a new cat "should go in with an open heart and open eyes. Rather than sticking to predetermined characteristics, make a love connection."
Fricke agrees: "We would love for people to bear in mind that most pets wind up in shelters through no fault of their own -- not because they have problems, but simply because their owners had personal problems, such as they needed to move, had a new baby, etc. They are wonderful, family-ready pets who only need to be given an opportunity to show how wonderful they are."
Jennifer Viegas is the managing editor of The Daily Cat. She is a journalist for Discovery News, the news service for the Discovery Channel, and has written more than 20 books on animals, health and other science-related topics.
Janet O'Connor says: We adopted an 8-year old Black male cat, Sam, last year because he was beautiful, mature, and had been in the shelter way too long. He has turned out to be a wonderful companion to our family! I have uploaded his rescue story to this site!
Michelle DeVeau says: In May of 2010 I adopted a black adult cat...Pudding was also feral and refused to be handled/pet by anyone. However, he loved the other cats and was so handsome that I took him home to be a companion for my then-kitten. A year and a half later, Pudding cuddles with me every night and you would never know he was a neglected feral!
Julie says: I adopted a 10 year old black cat three months ago after my last cat passed away. My new boy still has 8 good years ahead of him, but he surely would have been put down by the shelter he was at. I just wish I could adopt them all.
Nadine says: I've had black cats for over 30 years after falling madly in love with my first kitten. All have been shelter cats and the joy, love and companionship are immeasurable. Black is beautiful!!
Greg says: I've had 4 cats in my life so far. 2 have been all black. It's a shame that the black cats are less likely to be adopted. To me,it's like having my own minature black panther living in my house. :-)
Angel says: My Chi's grew up with 2 adult male cats. JUst let them meet and keep an eye on them for a while. You'll know if there's an issue. It'll depend on the cat. They'll prabobly end up playing together within the hour. They'll either ignore each other or they'll follow each other around and sleep together sometimes and play together.References :

Insightful. Passionate. Connected. These are the core strengths of the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET); a Washington, D.C. based think tank with an unabashedly pro-America and pro-Israel stance.

With gold and silver rebounding, today acclaimed money manager Stephen Leeb told King World News that silver is now setting up to eclipse $100. Leeb believes that China, which has been the primary driver in the gold market, is now going to push the silver price over $100 as their consumption of physical silver is poised to skyrocket. Here is what Leeb had to say in this powerful and exclusive interview.
Leeb: "We are seeing massive demand for photovoltaics out of both Japan and China. We are also continuing to see massive demand for silver in the Middle-East for this type of energy infrastructure as well. Eric, KWN readers need to understand that the demand for silver is literally set to explode because of the enormous increases in demand for physical silver because of photovoltaics….
"While all of this is happening, the mainstream media is saying that China is about ready to fall apart. But the reality is that China plans to urbanize a remarkable 200 million people over the next 10 to 15 years. Well, the cost is roughly $50,000 per person. So China is going to be spending a massive amount of money for materials — copper, lead, zinc and especially silver.

Hi Jackie,
I would just like to thank you for your time & patience in showing me round the various properties. Also for taking the time to organize the meetings with the bank & lawyer, it was very much appreciated. Your help, advice & knowledge made the purchasing of a property so much easier & I am very happy with the purchase that I made. Once again many thanks for all your help & for putting up with me, it made a difficult decision a very easy & enjoyable one.
Many Thanks,
I was fortunate enough to contact Crystal Shores Properties and secure the expert knowledge of Sasha. Her professionalism was outstanding and she was both well informed and supportive without being pushy. I have already recommended her to a colleague within a few days of returning home as I feel 100% confident that she would provide the same high level of service. Sasha is very well organized and listened to my aims and objectives of the purchase. The whole procedure from initial contact to securing the property filled me with confidence which I know was due to the hard work put in by Sasha.
Kind regards
Hi Tony,
Thanks for all your help over the last few weeks, we didn't think we would find exactly what we wanted on our first trip but we did and are very grateful to you and Jose. Jose was really helpful and made what could have been a stressful few days very pleasurable.
Kind regards,

*If you don't want to use semolina, use all-purpose flour, and reduce the water (printable recipe follows).
NOTE: My dough fermented in the fridge for two days, without any problems.
pizza peel! When I checked the crust, there was a bubble. I deflated it by poking it and flattening it, gently. For the toppings, I had made some homemade basil pesto (last week)...
NOTE: I've been asked why I par-baked the crust. The answer is, I didn't want a soggy crust. Since then, I have purchased a baking stone that I preheat to 475F. I roll out my pizza dough on parchment paper, add my toppings and, using a pizza peel, I can slip the unbaked pizza onto the hot stone. The hot stone makes the bottom of the pizza nice a crunchy and I never have soggy pizza again! (A pizza peel makes this easy, but you can make your pizza on parchment paper on the flip side of a large baking sheet.)

The age of "you need a gigantic Video card, a crossair 550-750W power supply and a good cooler to play this" will soon be over, and this is good to pc gaming! because a easier to build rig means more pc gamers to come! think about this! you can have a good pc, whit more power than a console, whit just a good mother board, memory, HD and a APU (no need to especial power supply, no need for a expensive card that make your rig hot as helland no need for 2-3 coolers on the tower)
Hooray! APU faster at graphics than a crap graphics card nobody would use alongside a top class CPU.
Congratulations on another pointless comparison.
Why don't they just compare it to an AMD FX processor and a low end AMD card instead? Oh, because they are trying to reflect a win against their rivals with a set up nobody realistically would have

FDL Reads 'Wingshooters' in October
In 1974, 9-year-old Michelle LeBeau arrives in fictional Deerhorn, Wisc., to live with her father's parents. She's the daughter of a white American father and a Japanese mother. The townspeople – especially her classmates – are not accepting. But grandfather Charlie LeBeau dotes on the youngster, whom he calls "Mikey." He shares with her his love of the Wisconsin countryside, and she idolizes the former minor league ballplayer and expert hunter.
It's through Mikey's innocent eyes that the readers of Wingshooters watch as the community and her grandparents react when an African American couple takes residence.
Reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird, Nina Revoyr's novel explores racism, bullying, conflicting loyalties and the strength of family ties. Revoyr blends these serious themes with a genuine sweetness between Mikey and Charlie and the healing power of the natural world. The themes and setting of Wingshooters were integral to its selection as the Fond du Lac Reads book for October 2012.
Fond du Lac Reads is an annual program that encourages the community to read the same book at the same time. Programs built around the themes of the book demonstrate the value of reading and foster community by providing a forum for public discussion and interaction.
Wingshooters is Revoyr's fourth novel. Published in March 2011, it was one of Booklist's Books of the Year for 2011, was chosen as an O: Oprah Magazine's "Book to Watch For" and has won an Indie Booksellers Choice Award and the Midwest Booksellers Choice Award. Publishers Weekly described it as "remarkable ... an accomplished story of family and the dangers of complacency in the face of questionable justice."
Revoyr, who was raised in Japan, Wisconsin and California, will visit Fond du Lac for a special event, An Evening with Nina Revoyr at 7 p.m. Monday, October 22, at UW-Fond du Lac. Co-hosted by the library and UW-Fond du Lac, Revoyr will speak, read from her book and answer questions in the Large Group Instruction Room. Refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public. No reservations required.
The discussion with Revoyr will be moderated by UW-Fond du Lac's Dr. John Short, dean and CEO, professor of Political Science, and Dr. Paisley Harris, associate professor of History and Women's Studies. Copies of "Wingshooters" will be available for sale and signing.
"We are delighted to promote this great book and to work with UW to bring Nina here in person," said library Director Jon Mark Bolthouse. "We think the book will be meaningful to readers across generational, racial and ethnic lines. It has
terrific potential to inspire conversations that help us better understand where we have come from and where we need to go."
Along with Revoyr's appearance, the library is hosting a range of programs on the themes in the book, to engage readers of all ages:
Book Spine Poetry Contest: Talking About Tolerance: "Write" a poem about tolerance using the words on the spines of books, movies or CDs at the library and put it on display. On October 26, members of the Foot of the Lake Poetry Collective will award first, second and third prizes for the entries that best convey the theme in the most-creative way. All entries will be uploaded to Flickr for everyone to see. Display and entry forms are located near the Help Desk in the Main Library.
Books Between Bites: 12:10 p.m. Tuesday, October 9, at Salem United Methodist Church. Lori Garbisch will lead a review and discussion of "Wingshooters." Coffee and soda available; bring a sack lunch to the basement of the Fellowship Hall at the church, 120 Sheboygan St. Free. For more information, call the church at (920) 921-8605.
Duck Decoys for Hunting & Display: 6:30 pm Wednesday, October 10, at the library. Lifelong hunter Charles Ahner of Fond du Lac will show how he starts with blocks of basswood or pine (for decorative) or foam (for working) to create beautiful decoys. Ahner will bring many samples, as well as the tools he uses to create his decoys. Free. No registration required.
Wild Birds of Prey: 7 pm Thursday, Oct 18, at the library. An introduction to Wisconsin's hawks and owls, featuring live birds and mounted specimens presented by Barbara Harvey of Mayville. Free. No registration required.
Crafternoon: Collaged Journal: 1-3 pm Saturday, October 20, at the library. Create a unique hand-made journal with a collage cover in this fun program lead by noted local collage artist Mel Kolstad. All materials provided, including papers and artwork that echo the themes in "Wingshooters." For adults and teens; space is limited. Free. Registration opens October 6 at www.fdlpl.org/calendar or by calling (920) 322-3929.
Not One of Us: The Psychology of Prejudice: 6 p.m. Tuesday, October 23, at the library. Local psychologist Dr. Matt Doll will present information and discuss the psychological nature of racism, intolerance, bullying and conflicting loyalties in a program suitable for parents and middle-school-aged and older children. Doll will explore how grownups can help their children understand and deal with problems they face when among friends and at school. Free. No registration required.
The library has chosen its selection for Fond du Lac Reads 2013: Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust, by Michael Hingson.
