Don’t be superstitious on National Black Cat Day! October 27th celebrates the beauty of these sleek creatures.

It’s National Black Cat Day on October 27th! Black cats need a little positive PR as their reputation as an omen of bad luck is well-known (and unearned, frankly).

National Veterinary Technician Week is observed annually in the third week of October and this year, it will be held from October 16 to 22. It appreciates the dedication of veterinary technicians and creates awareness about the work they perform to keep our pets healthy and safe.

National Veterinary Technician Week honors the professionals across the U.S. who provide outstanding services. The observance takes place the third week in October each year. It also aims to educate and raise awareness about what vet techs do.

Last month, rescuers from the Millstone Wildlife Center in New Hampshire were alerted to a baby bobcat who’d been abandoned by her mother.
