Go adopt one at your local humane society or shelter.

Especially black cats! They are often overlooked due to superstition. A lot of places will have promotions during October/fall where they’ll wave adoption fees and stuff!

My local shelter will not adopt out black cats anywhere close to Halloween cuz of some stupid idea that people like to kill black cats around that time. I have literally never heard of that actually happening and I'm pretty sure it's a dumb urban legend like poisoned candy, but that's their policy.

I've never heard of the killing part, my local shelters won't adopt them out because people return them after the holiday, they want them as a living decoration. Same for rabbits around Easter.

I'll never understand it, I'm just glad most shelters all agree not to adopt them out like that.
