There is no need to ban the adoption of black cats before Halloween if your group does vet references and home visits. If your group doesn't, then consider tying to find the volunteers to get it done. We don't put a ban on adopting puppies and kittens during the Christmas season either because we do such an extensive background check. Yes, it's a lot of work, and yes, it's worth it. People know we do these things and a good percentage of them still lie to us. I can't imagine what the percent would be for a shelter that didn't do any of the checks. |

Actually you will find many shelters not allowing the adoption of black cats
because of that very reason. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Robert Casey" wrote in message ... Don't adopt out any black cats until Halloween is over. Someone may only want a party prop and not be a serious pet owner... |
