Halloween Black Cat Adoptions

[Mrs_Savas]

Its that time of year;

Black cat adoption rates sky rocket up...and then after Halloween those cats end up dumped on the streets to fend for themselves.

So if you're trying to adopt out a black cat, be wary! Many shelters won't even allow black cats to be adopted in the few weeks before Halloween.

So please, lets everyone be responsible!

Thanks!

I used to foster a black cat before I moved to live with my grandma. The agency wouldn't even show black cats for the month of October.

Oh, I've heard of sickos adopting black cats on Halloween, and doing God knows what to them.  I am glad that the animal shelters have wised up!!

Also, it's not a good idea to let your black cat out on Halloween if you actually own one.  Hopefully, everyone knows this.

I am so glad that we dont have a big deal for halloween otherwise we would have idiots doing the same thing.A lot of things that the U>S does Australia follows, hope this isnt one of them.

Huh, I wish I'd thought of this one. Ah well, you can't be everywhere at once. :)

This is how we ended up with no less than three black cats in our family at one point, as I recall. All abandoned Halloween adoptions. Lets have a happy-black-cat Samhain!!! :)

Oh Gosh I didn't know that.  I once had a black cat. She was very sweet. I'm planning on getting another one. I'll do it after Halloween probably.

Our shelter in our city is like that. They won't even adopt out a black cat around Halloween. I think they're afraid of what people might be using them for or that they will be abused or something. It's crazy.
Thanks for the heads up.
