Dogwood Animal Shelter

10/14/2026

Did you know that black cats are 2 to 4 times less likely to be adopted than other cats? We don't understand it, since we have the cutest and most loveable black cats at Dogwood Animal Shelter (okay, maybe we are a little biased).

Meet a couple of our sweetest and most loveable black cats:

Tonka is a 5-month-old kitten who loves people and attention. He gets along with all of the other cats in his room, but really loves people cuddles.

Asphalt is a 5-month-old kitten who, like Tonka, loves attention. He got to experience home life but was returned by no fault of his own. He loves other cats and people alike.

Visit daslakeoftheozarks.com or stop into Dogwood Animal Shelter to meet these sweet kittens. 🐾❤🐾
