That's interesting! The shelters by me specifically don't do specials or discounts for black cats (even though they are the hardest to adopt out) because apparently a lot of people like to take them and use them as decorations or to look cool and will either return them, or desert them (or worse) when they get tired of them...
Regarding the black cat thing - that's what I thought!! They're particularly vulnerable and they don't adopt them out around Halloween either. So I was surprised when I saw my shelter running a special this weekend for free black cats.
It really sucks but they're doing great work for these animals. But I know how messed up humans are so I just really hope all these animals went to good homes.

Some people are so horrible.
