The 50 Most Fitting Names for Black Cats

Adopting a new cat is always a wonderful time, especially if they happen to have black fur. Black pets are unfortunately adopted far less than other animals, so it's a great choice to bring home a black cat. Now that you've decided on the perfect animal to add to your family, you need to give your new furry friend a name.

Of course, whether they're a boy cat or a female kitty, there are plenty of names to go through. To help you out, we narrowed it down to 50 options that are excellent for black cats. Some of these represent their fur, such as Charcoal, Chocolate, Cocoa, or Dusk. There are some more unique options you probably haven't thought of, including Apollo, Maverick, Noir, and Satin. Make sure you check out the entire roundup to decide which one is ideal for your new pet.

When you're deciding on what to call your cat, get the entire family involved. Have each person choose their favorites, and go through them to see if everyone can agree on one name. Then, try calling your cat by each, and see if they respond to any of them.
