ALAN 2016-2026šš¤
Iām devastated to share with you all that Alan is no longer with us, I am heartbrokenš
Alan was my soul cat, the bond we had was truly special, he was the cat that changed my life.
Alan was the reason I started this, the reason I realised how wonderful black cats are, the reason I chose to advocate for more black cats like Alan to be recognised and not overlooked.
Alan was my little sidekick, the purr on my shoulder that helped me through hard times, a constant comfort.
Alan was the most wonderful cat, so gentle, loving and kind. A bit of a lone wolf who loved his adventures outside, typically spending time at the allotments with lots of wildlife around him, but loved spending time snoozing in his cosy spots at home and padding fuzzy blankets. He was a very smart cat, he knew exactly how to get what he wanted, an absolute feind for dreamies, he knew how to do paw, high five and wave, but only did them if he could see the treat in your hand!!
Without Alan there would be no The Black Cat Collective he was the inspiration, he completely changed my life and gave me a purpose, a career path that Iād have never have thought I could pursue or have. This business is his legacy, something that I told him today as I said my goodbyes. His time earth side was too short, but he has made such an impact, that has quite literally spread across the world, anyone that has ever bought from us has a little piece of Alan. A true legend of a cat that will be immortalised forever in this business and beyondš¤
