EUGENE, Ore. -- October is a month of haunts, but at the Greenhill Humane Socitey in Lane County, it is a month to save some money.  Patrons can adopt a black cat or kitten for half off the adoption fee during October.

Cats usually adopt for $55 or more.  This month, you can take home a new family friend for $27.50 and up.  If your household would rather have a black kitten, you'll pay around $50.  The fee to adopt a kitten is usually $100.

Don't worry about the urban legend that black cats bring bad luck. Britians claim an all-black cat is good luck and Scots say having a black cat on your porch is a sign of riches and good fortune.
