If she wants a black cat then what does it matter? Shes still going to rescue a kitten. We get tons of people come to look at our cats at adoption events looking for a certain color. My foster Ash his new owners were looking for a gray and white DLH. Exactly what Ash is. Meeka, Luna and KoKo's owners were looking for Black Tuxedo kittens. Some people just have a certain color set in their mind and thats what they are going to get. If I ever went out in search of a cat to adopt I would adopt a Dilute Calico. I love the color. Ive never had one and would like to. Will I ever have one? Probably not because I fall in love with one of my fosters or some cat comes up to my apartment and chooses me. I dont see anything wrong with searching for a specific color when looking for a new pet.

Thank you. Shelters get swarmed with them and many find hard to place homes because they are black... So why wouldnt I give one of these gorgeous creatures a wonderful life. They are stereotyped in many silly ways, I on the other hand find them beautiful. I also am not fancied by them because of witch books. I find it awesome that most places wont adopt out black kitties around halloween (i'd wait) due to the cruelness that has been brought upon them during the igorant at this time of year. At least it shows their well being is cared for!

Thanks once again.. Back in February when I adopted Nollee I was looking for a calico and that is why I got her (granted I have been told on this site that she is actually not a calico, it doesnt matter to me)... I loved her color but mostly I fell in love with the timid and scared kitten she was, I turned her life around and now she is happy and comfortable in her surroundings... No matter what my color preference they are still going to live spoiled and happy lives.... and I will only adopt so Im still doing a good deed... BTW I love petfinder...

Im allowed to like black cats and I am not going to justify this to you anymore, I didnt post this to be ridiculed by desiring a certain colored kitty. I am an excellent kitty mom and both of my cats are feral rescues and tabbies, so by no means am I saying I only like black kitties. For the love of god if I want a certain colored cat there is no wrong in it. I only adopt kitties so what is the big deal if I want a black one and decide to adopt one that is black... It is not for witch craft, for abuse purposes, or sacrificial purposes... So there is no wrong in me wanting a black cat.

No to mention you assumed my use of the word clawed, to be that I mutated my cats... Spare me the accusations and the no no finger until you have the facts. This post stated I want a kitty and that I happen to want a black one... end of story!
But I don't understand why you got upset when i stated about being patient because I wasn't being nasty I was just giving my advice to you from what I have experienced when wanting a cat... and that question about the witches having black cats in films and books was to someone else who said that people usually love black cats or dislike and I was just wondering if that was the case behind that... I can apologise for Miss judging you about the clawing I just thought you meant declawed as I am from the UK some American talk can mean different things to someone in the UK and I think that is what happened there.. as I have strong views on cats being declawed, which many of us do.. I mean I signed up to this forum because I wanted to make some good friends

Im not trying to not be a friend to you, and by no means am I mad that you told me to have patience, I have patience (I mean I say I want one now, but I have no means of getting one until I am ready, the bf, and the kitties)... So patience isnt what angered me. The no no to my clawed statement set me off and now I can see we had miscommunication... I am so against it as you are that I was mad to think that someone may perceive I would do such a thing to any animal, but you dont know me so you didnt know I felt this way...

I know all cats and all colors need homes... but there are so many black cats needing homes that I would like to give one a home, and partly because many have no interest in them at all... which is partly why they are facinating to me... and because I find them beautiful, as I find all kitties beautiful. Heck I'd have one to meet every color of the rainbow, but in my living situation three would be more than enough!

Can we give each other a hug and forget about it?

Hugs.... We are cool.

LOL I love the name Selena (well I love the singer and the movie)... Oh and I love big eyes. Too bad we live so far. The lady I adopted from wanted me to foster ferals for her since I did amazing with my kitten, but I get too attached. I would ball when they go to new homes, eventough I would know it was what was best... Gosh Id probably become one of those creepy hoarders and try to keep em all (jk Im not that crazy)... I hope you find Selena a great home, too bad we are so far, I would have loved the opportunity.

Black cats are sexy.



I love them. They look like panthers...

The love of my life was a black cat. He was the best cat ever.

Good luck finding a new friend for your family.

I wish you all the luck in finding a black kitty

Ill be waiting a while Im sure, but I just love looking at the ones available... The one I wanted that I posted a link on, looked a little young. I wanted her but wasnt planning on getting her, I emailed the poster to get more info and then called her ( I research like crazy before making such decisions). She listed that she wanted the kitten to go that day at almost 7pm (in her post yesterday) and she did get rid of it last night. That kind of worries me that she just gave the kitten the brush off without researching the prospective owners further. I hope that kitty got a good home!

I love black cats too...I always said our 3rd was going to be black because they are the least likely to be adopted, but then Mia
started living in our shed and we had to bring her in. She's not black but of course I love her
just as much!! So our 4th (whenever that will be...
) might be a black cat!

4th lol... It is hard to stop. I am addictied to loving animals... My poor bf. I am always telling him I want another kitty, a dog eventually, sugar gliders, bearded dragons, more fish, chinchillas... LOL the poor guy is doomed to live in a zoo. Animals just make me smile, they warm your heart. I think once I have three kitties that will be more than enough!

I want a dog eventually too...but it might have to wait until after
the kitties. I'm not sure I could handle both at the same time.

My husband is the one who wants sugar gliders and the more exotic pets.

Yes it is addicting!

My bf thinks sugar gliders are so ugly and wants nothing to do with it and says no... because they make noise. Shoot our older cat talks non-stop, so I dont see what the noise issue would be

Black cats are awesome. But I'm not biased about it.


It's true that they are harder to adopt out. When I worked at a shelter I always brought up the "good luck" black cat legends. I think black cats are fabulous.
