What's It All About, Alfie? Help This Sweet Kitty Find Home

This black cat is described as "curious, nutty and affectionate!" Who will be lucky enough to bring him home?

MISSION VIEJO, CA — Meet Alfie, the sweet, elegant 2-year-old cat who has been waiting for a new home since March.

"People tend to overlook black cats like Alfie because of the stigma associated with bad luck, but that’s certainly not true," a spokesperson for the animal services center said. "These sweet felines have been given an unfair reputation. Countries like Japan, Ireland, Great Britain and Scotland embrace black cats as pets, believing them to be symbols of good fortune."

Alfie’s sleek black coat resembles sophistication and strength on the surface, and his curious, nutty yet affectionate personality make him the total package.
