00:00When I found out that only 10% of black cats get adopted,
00:03I rushed to my local shelter to find out why.
00:10People say black cats are unlucky, but I felt so blessed in this little swarm.
00:18People say black cats look aggressive, but Sophie is more affectionate than my dog.
00:24She kept interrupting my takes and crawling all over my lap.
00:30People say black cats aren't photogenic, but look at this beautiful senior.
00:51People adopt black cats around Halloween, but then return or abandon them.
00:55There's little shy Greg with a little infection that's getting better,
00:59and Jasper who has a head tilt that's slowly getting better,
01:02and curious Rosie who is very social.
01:16People say a lot of things, but these sweet eyes speak for themselves.
01:23They're saying, ignore people, get the black cat.
