Show of hands ✋: Who has had a black cat cross their path?
How many of you have been doomed to a life of bad luck? Didn't think so!

Black cats shouldn’t get a bad rap just because they look sneaky. In fact, did you know they’re considered good luck in many cultures? In Scotland, it’s lucky for a strange black cat to arrive at your doorstep. In Japan, the black cat meaning is associated with helping single women find suitors. There are a lot of silly black cat superstitions out there, but most of the world acknowledges black cats as cute—not creepy.

We think it's about time to end the negative superstitions around black cats, and highlight how loving, playful and silly they really are!

We currently have 7 (also lucky!) black cats up for adoption at LAHS. Come check them out and maybe one will be the purr-fect fit for your home. 🥰🖤
