Which means itโs officially that time of year again when we start seeing posts warning everyone that black cats shouldnโt be adopted during October because someone might use them for a satanic ritual, sacrifice them, torture them, or whatever version of the story is circulating this year. ๐
Can we please stop doing this?
๐โโฌ Black cats do not need to spend October sitting in shelters and rescues because of an urban legend.
There is not some seasonal army of witches waiting for October so they can fill out adoption applications, provide references, pay an adoption fee, and take home a black cat to sacrifice under the full moon.
The time of year is not a reason to deny an otherwise qualified adopter a cat.
And while weโre clearing things up: modern witches, pagans, and people practicing earth based religions are not synonymous with animal sacrifice. In fact, plenty of people in those communities absolutely adore and highly value cats, black ones included.
Are there bad people in the world who hurt animals?
Of course.
They exist in January, April, July, and October. They hurt orange cats, tabbies, dogs, rabbits, wildlife and unfortunately just about anything else.
That is why responsible adoption screening exists.

But if someone is a perfectly good home on October 15, they donโt suddenly become a dangerous psychopath because the cat they fell in love with happens to be black.
And black cats already have enough working against them. They donโt need us making them less adoptable for an entire month because of a Halloween myth.
So this spooky season, instead of hiding the black catsโฆ
๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ช ๐๐ผ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ข๐๐.
Post the voids.
Post the tiny house panthers.
Post the ridiculous yellow eyes.
Post the black kittens who disappear into dark blankets.
Post them next to pumpkins if you want. ๐๐โโฌ
Let them be spooky. Let them be cute. And let them get adopted. ๐
Halloween isnโt the danger.
Bad people are the danger and thatโs what good adoption practices are designed to screen for.
๐โโฌ Black cats deserve homes 365 days a year.
