Battersea puts it down to longstanding superstitions about bad luck, together with modern worries that black cats are less photogenic for social media. Neither says anything about how a cat will be to live with.

It depends on the cat, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 5 of the 10 black cats listed in and around Walsall as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the cat could live with.
