I'm not seeing the problem either. Every shelter, rescue, cat group I've ever worked with bans the adoption of black cats around Halloween. The shelter I work with now will allow you to pick out the cat and place a hold on it. You can take the cat home in early November. If you really want that cat waiting a few days won't be a issue.

We actually have a 24 hour wait before an approved adopter can take home any animal, any time of year. You'd be amazed how many people never come back to pick up the animal they wanted the day before!
