i adore pure black cats - some of my pure black fosters have gone in no time, some have been waiting ages, so it is no better in the UK - one last year was the youngest foster I had (5yo) and she was here longer than the 7yo (tortie - although strictly speaking Lucy had been here longer, but from teh time she was ready to rehome), and the 13yo tabby - although as luck had it, I got a call the day the 13yo was going, so she did go an hour before, but she had been overlooked both times. Molly was overlooked for 8 months, but I am glad, as she is fantastic and it meant I got to keep her. WE have a litter of kittens in at the moment, 4 gingers, a dark tortie and a black, and I know who will go quicker.
