I know that they used to follow this policy here but when I was visiting my local Humane Society, I asked a woman working there about this policy and she told me that yes they do adopt black cats out during the month of October. They do this because they charge $125 per cat for the adoption fee. I guess they feel that no one would spend this kind of money and then harm the cat. I sure hope she's right. I was shocked when I heard this.

They also now allow people to have indoor/outdoor cats instead of the indoor only policy that they used to have. I learned this when I was adopting Sky. It sure seems like they're relaxing their rules quite a bit.
