Adopt Some Lucky Black Cat Charm From Cats Protection This New Year!

‘Adopt a black cat and good fortune could come your way this year,’ is the message from Cats Protection this New Year. The UK’s leading feline welfare charity can have thousands of beautiful black cats in its care at any one time and wants to encourage people to adopt their very own lucky charm. Black cats can symbolise good luck and fortune. In years gone by, sailor’s wives kept black cats as they believed its presence would protect their husbands from the dangers of the seas. It is also well known that if a black cat enters your home uninvited and settles on your hearth, then any business in the family will prosper. King Charles I of England is probably the most famous person in history to have owned a black cat. He believed his black feline brought him good luck so he made sure it was guarded every day. And, in a strange twist of fate, the day after the cat died the King was arrested by Cromwell’s troops. According to Betty Boud, Manager of the largest cat adoption centre in the UK, based in Sussex, the odds are good when it comes to finding feline friendship at Cats Protection. “New Year provides the perfect opportunity to find your ideal feline companion and because black cats are usually considered lucky, giving one a second chance could be fortunate for you both!” To find out more about offering a special black cat a second chance in life this New Year, please phone Cats Protection on 08702 099 099.
