Consider a black cat the next time you adopt a pet.
The stray pet population is out of control. Shelters are overpopulated, and cats and dogs are constantly being dumped by their owners. Anyone who is looking for a new furry friend should adopt a shelter pet. As a crazy cat lady, I can tell you that all of my felines were strays at one time. Had I not been there to save them, they probably would have died in a cage.
Unfortunately, dogs are more likely to be adopted than cats. Young animals find homes easier than seniors. An elderly black cat is the least likely to find a forever home. No one wants an old, black cat. Statistics show that any other color of kitty is more likely to be adopted than a black one. That's just ridiculous.
