Cucake's not black, but she's close enough that we always keep her indoors on Hallowe'en and the nights leadgin up to it.

Unfortunately it's true with Indiana shelters as well. No adoptions of
black cats for a time before & after halloween.It really doesn't help that
black cats are always depicted in media as scary,evil things, associated with
witches & Halloween.

The shelters around here also put a hold on all black cats until November. It's sad and even worse is that it's not only people with specific fears/beliefs against black cats, but also just sick people that think Halloween is a reason to do harm to black cats; as if it were an excuse. Disgusting.

One humane society in my area is having a free cat promotion this month to get cats to homes. Not a good thing for October, but it seems we've had a WI cat population boom this year. They're everywhere.

Our shelter never adopted black cats during the month of October. We had a couple of close calls, with people wanting black cats for creepy Halloween-type things. (I'm not going to go into detail, it's disturbing.)
Black dogs also have a much harder time finding a home at shelters. In a litter of puppies, the black ones were always the last to go. And the black adult dogs were SO hard to find homes for.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
