Update, 9/9/09: Hanna’s listing is no longer available on Petfinder.

Meet Hanna, this week’s Featured Adoptable! Hanna is a black cat; black cats, much like black dogs, can be harder to adopt for myriad reasons: in a shelter setting, they can be easily overlooked, due to their dark coloring; those who subscribe to superstitions surrounding black cats may shy away from adopting them; etc.

Luckily Hanna found her way to Kansas City, Missouri-based Newborn Rescue,

a licensed, non-profit 501(c)3, no-kill, foster home based operation, dedicated to the rescue and care of abandoned, unwanted, and neglected companion animals. We are experienced caregivers for companion animals specializing in neonatal kittens and some puppies. Since we opened in 1999 we have rescued and foster hundreds of newborn kittens and puppies most under 2 weeks in age when they came to us, where the mother had died, run off or was unable to care for her babies. We hand raise 90% of all our rescues, this takes a lot of time, effort and money, but every life deserves a chance.

According to Hanna’s foster family, she is

a wonderful Black Domestic Shorthair female. She is very loving and playful with lots of personality. You’ve heard the saying about black cats “what they lack in color they more than make up for in personality” and “Black cats make the best pets” this is so true of Hanna.

Hanna was just a kitten (about 4 months old) when she was tossed out on to the streets to fend for herself after her people moved away suddenly, being a smart girl she made her down the block to a cat friendly house where she was rescued and brought to us.

Hanna has a small athletic body so she won’t be very big about 8 to 10 pounds. She has short silky black fur and big gold eyes that turn a bright green when she gets excited, she was born in June of 2008. She has lots of energy to play with another cat, she likes dogs and of course she loves people. The top of the cat tree is her favorite place rest, she also loves to cuddle, sit and watch TV with you and sleep with you.

She has great house manners and very good litter pan habits; she uses a scratching post and not the furniture.

We do a full medical check up on our rescue pets so you get a pet that is healthy and ready to be a part of your family. Hanna tested negative for FIV & Feline Leukemia & ear mites, she was treated for worms as a precaution and she had all her kitten vaccinations and her rabies, she is flea free and she is spayed, over $200 in vet services are all ready done so you don‘t have to do a thing but love her.

Hanna is staying at a foster home in south Kansas City, MO where she has other cats and a dog to play with, she wants to find a loving forever home, please find room in your heart for her.

The adoption fee is $25.00
Please email us for an adoption application.
This kitten/cat must be an Inside only cat.
No kitten will fly or be shipped to a new home.

Hanna is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of companion animals in the Kansas City area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
