| Black Cat Rescue | Black Cat Rescue is a No Kill cat rescue organization in Boston, MA. Did you know that black cats are only half as likely to get adopted as cats of other colors? Neither did we! Black Cat Rescue strives to change those odds for black cats in Massachusetts. One study conducted between 2010 through 2011 analyzed outcomes for nearly 8000 cats admitted to an urban public shelter in Kentucky. The study found that black cats had the highest rate of euthanasia (74.6%) and the lowest rate of adoption (10.0%) of any color. Our all-volunteer network of foster homes is dedicated to saving the lives of homeless black cats and kittens by providing quality foster care while actively seeking loving, permanent adoptive homes. As an organization, we work to improve the public image of both black cats and animal adoption by making black cat adoption a positive experience for all involved. We fully embrace the tenets of the No Kill movement. Our foster cats come from all over Massachusetts. We accept owner surrenders as well as strays directly off the streets or from local shelters and rescue organizations. |

| Matilda | We make award winning and voted Best in Rhode Island Heart Shaped Empanadas made with local from scratch ingredients “starting with our dough, first ingredient love.” We have vegan, vegetarian & gluten-conscious options. Gluten-conscious means that the empanadas are made without gluten-containing ingredients. Although many of Matildas’ flavors do not contain ingredients with gluten, they are NOT produced in a gluten free environment, which means there is always a chance for cross contact with gluten from other products in the manufacturing facility or restaurant. Given the likelihood of cross-contact in our restaurants, this list is not suitable for people with Celiac Disease, a heightened gluten sensitivity or a wheat allergy. |
