FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 20, 2017

Instead of fighting crowds for the latest gadget at the mall, shop for a new best friend at Seattle Humane this Black Friday, Nov. 24! For one day only, we’ll be waiving the adoption fee for every all black, black-speckled, black-spotted, and black-striped cat or kitten in our care.

"We’re promoting black cats because statistics reveal they spend more time in shelters," says Jenna Pringle, Marketing Communications Manager at Seattle Humane. "Black cats don’t photograph or show as well as their more colorful counterparts, but look more closely and you’ll find that black fur is beautiful, and these pets are some of the most loving and expressive ones."

It's best for all family members to meet any prospective new pet. So if you're looking to adopt a cat for the holidays, make it a family event and come into Seattle Humane's brand new shelter in Bellevue to meet with an Adoption Advisor. We're located at 13212 SE Eastgate Way. The shelter will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for this special one-day only event. View some of the many adoptable cats online at seattlehumane.org.
