Statistically the month of October is the single most dreadful month for black animals in general and black cats specifically. Most Rescues and Shelters will go 'on alert' from early August until mid till late November, tightening to eliminating adoptions of certain types of animals.
In all honesty solid white cats suffer from ritualistic sacrifice as much as the solid black ones, and Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers, and Great Danes.
Be especially careful with your pets this time of the year.
Came across this unusual Black Cat Adoption for the month of October:

Be Interesting to turn this whole stigma around and make October the month to adopt black animals into your life.
