The shelter I volunteer at doesn't adopt out any black cats for till the 2nd week in November. I agree with it and think that shelter did the right thing. I mean, what's the big deal anyway? If the lady threw such a hissy fit, I'd have been a little suspicious as well. Especially since she said she was going to a pet store to get a black one.

Too many weirdos out there to risk the life of a precious innocent animal.
