Alayne got this photo of blind Cinder on Saturday afternoon, looking somewhat worried ... as if she might have missed Halloween. Fortunately, Alayne assured Cinder she hadn't missed out on any festivities, and that her black cat costume would be perfect for trick-or-treating that evening.

Still No. 1!
Please keep voting for us every day in The Animal Rescue Site/PetFinder's Shelter Challenge. Thanks to your votes, we came in third nationwide and won $3,000 for the animals in the previous contest. Now we have a shot at No. 1 and the $20,000 grand prize! Enter "Rolling Dog Ranch" and our state postal code, MT for Montana, and it will bring up our listing so you can cast your vote. Please ask your family and friends to vote, too. Thank you!
That is a concerned look!
Cinder is beautiful and everytime I see her I think how fortunate she was to come to the ranch; have her kittens and now they are ranch hands!
Thanks for the cat post..we love the kitties!!

Cinder has the cutest face ever! And I should know, I have the cats with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cutest faces sleeping on my bed right now.

She reminds me of our black Sam. He spent Halloween sleeping on our bed.

Cinder you look awesome & you didn't have to pay a dime for your great costume! I hope you got lots of treats! You are a beautiful kitty!

Yes, this is an excellent photograph of Cinder. (The trick to photographing black cats is lots of light --and if necessary, a bit of overexposure, to bring out the texture of their fur). As a feline lover, I enjoy hearing news of your cats and wish you'd tell us about them more often.

The amimal rescue site is still allowing me to vote altho it's the 2nd of Nov, so I'm still voting.
It's nice to see Cinder after such a long time! Are her two offspring still at the RDR?
Hugs to all,
ginger, Tobias & Tlingit

We all celebrated Halloween by going to a fundraiser for a animal rescue in our area it was a lot of fun and a success.I found this information very interesting and useful.I agree with Alayne that which assured Cinder she hadn't missed out on any festivities, and that her black cat costume would be perfect for trick-or-treating that evening.

Black cats are tough to photograph so congrats for getting all her facial features and expression! My black cat usually comes out looking like a black ball with yellow eyes.

No, Cinder honey, you didn't miss it. I hope you got lots of catnip and kitty treats in your trick-or-treating pumpkin!
