National Black Cat Day

Celebrating Black Cat Day –

Did you know? Black is the most common color that cats come in. There is a lot of stigma and superstition around black cats that leads to trouble for these dark colored felines.

While in the U.S. and other countries a black cat might be a sign of bad luck in other countries it’s the opposite. In Britain, Japan and Ireland, a black cat crossing your path is considered a sign of good luck.

Black cats are often ignored at adoption centers and some shelters won’t even take black cats in October. Cruelty to black cats is so bad around Halloween that it is recommended that you keep your black cat inside.

The reality is that these kitties are lovable, wonderful companions and we highly recommend their adoption and care.
