Often overlooked and always in abundance at most animal shelters, we wanted to find a way to honor these beauties and to draw more attention to their plight. That's why we've created The Black Cat Society.

If you've been fortunate enough to have ever been owned by a black cat, you'll probably never need a reason as to why you should share their life with yet another one. Life just wouldn't be the same without one, would it?
However - just in case you've never considered the advantages of opening your heart and home to one of these black beauties, the current members of the Grayson County Black Cat Society are listed below, along with what they think are just some of the benefits to you for doing so.
Please also take a minute to read the very important announcement from the Grayson Humane Chapter of the World Assembly of the Black Cat Society - it can be found just below the photos of all of the current members.
Simply click on the photo to go to that cat's main web page.
Anchovy
Our beauty lasts a LOT longer than your favorite little black dress!
Batman
Black makes our eyes even more beautiful, don't you agree?
Caraway
We're VERY inspirational! So many things have been named after us - comic book characters, movies, song lyrics, a Paris cabaret, wine, the title of one of Edgar Allen Poe's famous short stories, blogs, and the list goes on and on. Let us bring some "cat creativity" to your life.
Chicory
We'll still love you, even on your darkest days.
Clove
We're usually the best mousers as we can hide in the shadows better.
Donna
Some of us even have our very own "built-in bib" and white socks!
Eastwick
No matter what shade of black we might be
(and yes - there are many), we always look clean and slim.
Elmo
They say that - from black - all colors originate and spring up to create rainbows.
Can I be the source of your rainbow?
Jubilee and Dazzler
If we're good enough for the likes of Queen Victoria, Winston Churchill, and Calvin Coolidge, we think you'll fall in love with us too.
Katniss' Kitten - Veronica
Owning a black cat sends the message that
you love elegance and appreciate classics.
King Leo
If you'd like a splash of white added to the mix,
we come in that color-combination too!
Kitten at Vet's Office
With a face like mine, do you REALLY need another reason???
Lindsey
Some people say that black is the lack of all colors. Others say it's the presence of all colors. We're happy to be either a blank slate or a rainbow, so we'll let you decide!
Liz
When the power fails and it's midnight, aren't we ALL black cats any ways?
Mrs. Sparklenose
Perhaps the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir said it best,
"I've been 40 years discovering that the queen of all colors was black."
Nivea
If "being in the black" is a good thing for business,
why wouldn't it be for everything else?
Paploo
It's oh-so-easy to color coordinate us with anything - your furniture, your other pets, your clothes, you name it.
Pepperoni
Just like a favorite little black dress or a handsome tuxedo, we're always in fashion. We're simply classics that will never go out of style.
Ray
We don't care what color YOUR hair is!
Rosie
Some of us - like me - are living in "less-than-rosie" conditions
(please read about me by clicking on my photo).
I would be ETERNALLY grateful to come live with you.
Soleil
We'll hide all of those little annoying Oreo cookie crumbs if you let us sit on your lap while you're eating them. No one but us will ever have to know that you just indulged in a treat or two.
Ticketypoo
Even Feng Shui experts agree about how powerful black can be - we're described as "a grounding element that brings strength and presence to any room .....conservative as well as sophisticated, mysterious, and sexy." What more could you ask for?!?!
Tommy Tucker
A black diamond is far more rare than a white one!
Turkey
True love knows no color.....
Vicki Vale
Black.....white.....black and white......does it really matter?
We make great companions no matter WHAT color we are!
Proclamation from the Grayson Humane Chapter
of the World Assembly of the Black Cat Society:
Hear ye, hear ye, let it be known by all black cats and by all the slavish human followers of the Black Cat Society that the following changes have been made in the lofty and grand Executive Council of the Black Cat Society (hereinafter referred to as "the Society" for all the humans who require simplicity in communications from the cat world).
His Grand Imperial Excellency, Thoreau, has been named Chief Executive Meower of the Executive Council. All favors, catnip and treats will be administered from The Chief Executive Meower's office. Grand Imperial Excellency Thoreau vows to be a kind, compassionate and loving benevolent dictator.
Alternate Chief Executive Meower and faithful Grand Assistant and Scribe shall be Liz, known to all black cats in the Grayson Humane Chapter as a purrfectly graceful, astute and kind feline lady. Liz shall be taking a paws-on approach to dispensing favors and maintaining the peace and decorum of the cat room.
Honorary Chief Executive Meower of the Executive Council of the Grayson Humane Chapter of the world assembly of The Black Cat Society shall be the renowned, sweet and affable Tickety-Poo, feared and revered by all cats in catdom.
Last, but far from least, Morgan will be taking over as Grand Sergeant-at-arms from Bennett (retired to an adoptive home) to maintain order at meetings and deal with some of the unruly, sassy and occasionally misbehaving young Turks in the Grayson Chapter of "the Society."
Let this important bulletin be posted on the door of the cat room so all lessor cats might tremble at the sight of these VIMS ("Very Important Meows"). The human "caretakers and servants" will of course be expected to bow in the presence of these high officials.
End of proclamation......
