And, 78-year-old owner Salley Fuller recently lost her beloved black cat Ivy at the age of 16 but rescued her from a shelter where she knew that black cats are the most overlooked and most likely to be euthanized.:"I mean an hour or so. I snatched her up. She was so black that she shone blue in the sunlight."
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approximately 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized each year, and statistics indicate that black cats take longer to be adopted than any other." is often linked to the animals being more difficult to photograph—leading to less attractive listings, negative associations of black cats in relation to superstition or connections to witchcraft or evil, and difficulties reading their facial expressions.
But with loving owner Fuller, Ivy had a long and happy life:"My favorite thing about her was how she made me feel when she looked at me ... I felt absolutely adored. The feeling was mutual," she said:"She took a huge part of my heart."
