In the run-up to the spooky season, Willows is keen to dispel the superstition that black cats are meant to be unlucky.

They say their collection of fury friends are just as pretty and loving as cats of other colours.

Maria Harrison, founder of Willows, said: “It’s the most we’ve had for a very long time and they account for 50% of the cats we have in the shelter and foster care. 
“They all have different personalities.

“Some are normal ability and would fit into most homes, some are shy and can only have quieter homes.
