4 Reasons To Adopt Black Cats

By Robin Setser


While Halloween has come and gone, many people seem to be hesitant about approaching, let alone adopting, black cats. The stigma surrounding them is that they're sources of bad luck. As animal specialists will tell you, this couldn't be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, more households should be open to adopting black cats. Here are 4 of the benefits that can result from doing exactly that.

According to Assisi Animal Health, black cats should be adopted more often due to the fact that they're often overlooked. As a matter of fact, these lovable animals tend to go ignored at animal shelters by potential adoptees. What this means is that you should try to make a change. The best way to do this is by bringing a black cat into your home. Not only will you help to shatter preconceived notions but you'll give an animal the home they deserve.

Next, black cats tend to be euthanized more so than other pets. For example, is a shelter were to offer one thousand black cats, about two tenths would actually be adopted. This results in cramped shelters, which is where the aforementioned euthanasia unfortunately comes into play. When you adopt this type of feline, not only do you provide them with a loving home but you're saving their life in the process.

Some people adopt black cats because of their aesthetics. When you consider that their black fur often comes with striking eyes, there's a contrast that cannot be overlooked. You should also know that when these cats shed, their fur will not stand out like individual sore thumbs on black furniture. While cosmetics seem like small potatoes in the bigger picture, you can be certain that they make a difference.

Finally, if you're still convinced that black cats bring about bad luck, you should know that they're symbols of good luck in other areas of the world. For example, in Japan, it's been said that these felines bring about good fortune. For proof of this, all you have to do is look at the prevalence of maneki-neko statues in this country. In short, what might be seen as bad luck in one area might be viewed as good luck in another.
