Wishing everyone a Happy Monday, we have Lola. She is a 9 week old Domestic Shorthair from Whitby, Ontario.
My kitten is special because I truly believe we were meant to find her. My boyfriend and I recently moved to our own apartment, and he works full time and I am always home alone, so I decided I wanted a kitten. We looked around shelters, adoption centers, and online. But none of the kittens we met grabbed our attention. I was very picky with this, I wanted specifically a black kitten. I know that that black cats often don’t find homes, and wind up in shelters because of a stupid, ignorant superstition. And I however, am in love with black cats. I even have a tattoo of one. So we searched kijiji through the kitten section, and we found an ad saying “4 kittens, one black one left” So we called the number, and found out that he had an eight week old black kitten, with a little white spot on her tummy. He told there was another couple going to look at her, they were on there way and it was first come first serve. He lived in our area, so we jumped in the car, and rushed to get her.
Sure enough, we got there first. We stepped inside, and he went out of the room, and came back in with this tiny black fur ball. He handed her to me first, and I fell in love instantly. Her mommy jumped up on the counter beside us, and gave her a kiss on the head before we left. During the car ride home, we started discussing a name for her. I wanted to name her Luna, but my boyfriend didn’t like it, so I said “Lola” and he loved it, and began singing Lola, by the kinks. so that was her name, Lola. I have had cats my entire life, but never a kitten. So I have lots of learning to do. I hope to give her the best life a cat can live.

Yeah! It’s my fellow Canadian from the next province over AND a new TDKr with Lola – L-O-L-A Lola!!! At least you didn’t meet in a bar down in old Soho where they drink champagne that tastes just like cherry Cola C-O-L-A Cola! Black kitties are awesome as for what peeps say and their stupid superstitions, well they can all take a time trip back to the Middle Ages and stay there. I’ll say no more ’cause I’ve already said it LOL. A lot of us had a big learning curve with our kits, so just hang in there and ask for advice when needed, lots of kitty experts here, even though my own knowledge is sadly limited. You have a black cat tat? Wow! 😉
I love black cats as well. My Renzo is 18 years old now. I do hope the other people who wanted her also find a black cat friend, and most of all, that her mum’s humans have mum sterilised.

Smooches for shweet little noir kit Lola our Star Kit today at TDK!
I have always especially loved black cats, too. They are special! Lola is so cute!
She’s in good hands. Wishing you and your family a long and happy life together.
Add me to those who love black cats. Lola is adorable 🙂
How sweet that her mama approved and gave her a kiss and sending her to her new happy home.
Wishing you much happiness together!
Miss Lola is a cutie and I’m glad you got to her in the nick of time. Many loving, playful times ahead for your new family!
I know about Black cat superstitions-I volunteer at the local shelter and blackies are the most difficult to adopt out. 🙁
Thank you for volunteering! 🙂
She has a beautiful little face and I’m sure you three will have pleasant times together…for a looong time I hope.
Lola is gorgeous! My daughter insists that black kitties are the smartest of all the colors (but maybe she’s just a little prejudiced). Just love that baby and get her shots and fixed and you’ll be on your way to being great hoomins. Also, cats live much longer and healthier lives when they’re indoor kitties. Concatulations on being owned by a kitten.
Pretty Lola! I love black cats!
I’m with you. Pure black kitty fuzz is the all time best.
She is precious. All the best! 🙂
what a doll face cotton!
