Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nyx is a beautiful black cat. You want to know what's so special about black cats? Well ship's cats were once a common thing; historically, sailors brought cats aboard ships to control rodents that could destroy food stores or damage the ship itself. But British sailors believed a black cat would bring the ship good luck and ensure a safe return home. It was a little more complicated for pirates, though. They believed a black cat walking toward you was bad luck, a black cat walking away from you was good luck, and if a cat boarded the ship and then jumped off, the ship was going to sink. All kinds of legends and lores surround a black cat. Give Nyx a good home and find out for yourself. She will be getting spay April 17th then will be ready for adoption.
