Today is our two-year anniversary celebration! It's been quite the wild ride this past year, but we made it through a natural disaster and all the challenges that followed.

There are cats, and then there are CATS. Simon was the latter, the only feline to receive the Dickin Medal to date.
The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.

Only one cat has ever received the award.

This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

Considering that the City of Asheville removed “prioritizing minority & women-owned businesses” from their draft of the recovery plan in order to appease the current administration, we are going to need all the help we can get.
House of Black Cat Magic could use your help. We know times are tough, so we deeply appreciate any support you might be inclined to offer, be it financial, magical, or just kind words. I would be very grateful if you would help to spread the word & share our GFM.

Imagine living in a natural disaster area fighting for recovery & trying to stay afloat financially & your government is doing everything they can to undermine you if you are a minority- or a woman-owned business.

We have people living in their cars & tents. But DEI...

Sundays are purrfect for lounging in the sun. They are also purrfect for visiting our Black Cat Lounge that has 12 resident cats that are happy to offer some purr-therapy while they wait for their furever homes.

Beginning in August, HBCM will be hosting a number of voter registration events. If you know anyone in Asheville that loves cats and is not yet registered to vote, send them our way!

Hello Blue Sky peeps!

We made the decision to join this platform to connect with more like-minded folks who love animals, especially Black Cats, as well as those who are curious about or practice some type of magical tradition.
