It's BLACK CAT APPRECIATION DAY 🤗
"The superstitions surrounding these dark, elegant, velvety felines go back centuries and continue right up to the present day. Sadly, they often have a rather negative spin. Unfortunately, such quaint old superstitions have real-world consequences. Most of the time, black cats have to wait much longer for adoption than felines of other colors."

Here are some beliefs from other cultures that might help change your perspective:
In Scotland, there is a superstition that if a black cat shows up at your door, it will bring you wealth.
In Japan, black cats are thought to help single women find suitors.
In the English Midlands, a black cat may actually be considered a good-luck wedding present.
Black cats are not "unlucky" as still often portrayed in media. They deserve just as much love, kindness, and compassion as any other cat.
CARA has several black cats available for adoption. Please consider welcoming one of them into your home.
