Dear Friends,
Yesterday, I received a call from an unknown number. It was a man with a very loud voice and he sounded very desperate. He spoke in Cantonese and it sounded like he was asking if we had cats for adoption. I said no and cut him off as I did not have a good feeling about it.
Just now (just minutes ago), he called me again. He started off in Cantonese but switched to English when I kept asking him to repeat himself.
He said he was looking to adopt a cat and asked if I had any. I said I did not have but he could try the local shelters like PAWS. He did not know what PAWS is and started sounding very desperate. I grew suspicious and asked how many cats he was looking at adopting. He then said “Only one. But it must be all black. Entirely black.”
I asked him why and he said, “For luck. I need it for luck.”
I told him off immediately that you DO NOT adopt any animal for luck. You adopt because you wish to care for the animal. But whatever I said fell on deaf ears. He went on and on about him needing to get a jet-black cat. I hung up.
His desperation frightened me.
I’ve already alerted PAWS about him (luckily PAWS is closed today, so there is time to alert them).
If you are rehoming any black cats, please be alerted about this man.
I have my suspicions about him.
For those who may not know, black cats are used in black magic. Please be very, very careful when you rehome your black cats. His number came from a 016- line.
A vet had previously told me that he would never give up any black cat for adoption unless he is very sure of the adopters’ intentions. He also knows that people use black cats for black magic. Another vet told me that there was once a suspicious couple who came to his clinic asking for the blood of black cats.
Updates at 10.16pm: I have managed to inform PAWS to be on the lookout for this person. And here’s the reply from PAWS’ manager:
It’s for black magic. Jet black cats and dogs are used for that purpose. From time to time, we have people who will come to look for such colour animals in Paws. I normally say no or it’s not ready even if we have one.
