Their old owner went into hospice (she had like 11 cats).
I've been involved in our local Humane Society (as a volunteer in thrift store that supports the shelter, & as a board member for a while etc.) & ours won't adopt any
black cats out when it gets close to Halloween, as they are sometimes abused by sickos (-can happen any time but more likely @ Halloween).

Both my current dogs are black, & I never knew before that black dogs are least likely to be adopted. (maybe they look more menacing? or their eyes are harder to
"read" their warmth?) I like all colors, but I think black dogs or cats are very handsome. Can't fit them all in here though...if only!
