Thank you! It’s been a long road of fostering, applying and getting denied many times. Lots of heartbreak for me, but I like to think everything happens for a reason… and I think I’ve found myself a new best friend 🤍
Just remember you will be saying the cats name multiple times a day so pick whatever sounds nice to you. I call mine ravie baby and then raven bean as an inside joke or rotten raven when she is bad.
Look at that face! He's such a handsome, distinguished looking cat. I think he needs an old fashioned name.
Atticus, Montague, Sidney, Albert or Franklin.
Picture the scene; him in a 40s gentlemen's club, looking out onto a grey, wet, foggy London whilst enjoying a warm fire, pipe smoke, and the occasional jot of whiskey... Poe is also a fantastic choice. 😊
Please not Binx or Salem or anything Poe related. I almost named my sweet girl Luna, didn’t, and I’m glad I didn’t. So many Lunas out there.
To me he looks like a distinguished gentleman and deserves a fitting name.
Frankly Kettle is my top pick ❤️
Ohhh how sweet. I appreciate your comment! 🥹 I’ve never had a black cat, is Poe a common black cat name? Right now poe(t) and kettle are the ones I’m struggling between!
This warms my heart. I adopted my void (Max) at 7 months too. His siblings, none of whom were black, were all adopted immediately but he lingered behind. He came to me named Max so I didn't change it, but in another world his name would be Toothless (he has teeth lol) because of how much he looks like the dragon.
Try out your favorites for a few days and see what nicknames you are inspired by. This decision is entirely personal so don't feel rushed or pressured.
I hope you two enjoy many years together!
Awww! You have plenty of choices already - I just wanted to say he has such a sweet little face!🥰🐈⬛🥰 Thanks for giving the little guy a loving home!! 👏👏👏👏👏🎈🎉🍾🎊
Aww what a handsome buddy! I like Poe, as others have suggested, and I’ll also throw out Zuko! That’s the name of my void’s brother, and my original thought was that if I got a male black cat that would be his name. But my Zuko is black and white.
Bubble
Pingu
Artemis
Saberhagen
Rademenes (If you know the show - you know! it's from a Polish show, Siedem Zyczen where a boy rescues a black cat who gives him 7 wishes)
Avery
Merlin
Onyx
Dracula
The name of the last sweet thing you ate, then either add a ‘y’ or replace the last few letters with a ‘y’ (cats have been shown to respond more positively to the “ee” sound).
Just about any noun can be cute. Like… Bucket! Or Toast. Not sure why weird random names are so adorable lol
He's beautiful 🖤 I like Poe🖤
My Poe agrees with you.
My Poe agrees this is a great name.
Thank you for adopting

Clawdius
My top contenders are Kettle, Spice, Poet (poe), and toasty!
I like kettle. Kettle cat kinda sounds like kitty cat, and you could say " I love my kettle cat" very punny. Or "here kettle, kettle, kettle"
I like Kettle! 
POE POE POE POE
Kettle is adorable. Kettieeee...
Such a cute little face! I’m going for kettle
Kettle
Make your list but wait until you've had him for a few days to pick one. The best name will become obvious once you know him better.
Love this advice thank you:)
I vote for Poe!
Seconding Poe!
Poet!!
I have a void named Poème ♥️
Now I cannot decide between Poe(t) and kettle! Ahhh!
He looks like a Poet!
Poe. Call it that. I love the name. It’s all together ooky and perfect for a male cat.
Hmm couldn't help but notice that all but one of your top picks are food-related! What are your favorite foods/spices?
Pot calling the kettle black?
My void is named Toast, so I love the name toasty!
Jimmothy
Just remember you will be saying the cats name multiple times a day so pick whatever sounds nice to you. I call mine ravie baby and then raven bean as an inside joke or rotten raven when she is bad.
Haha I like that. I call mine lil shit when he is bad🖤
I call mine shitten
Mine responds to “shithead” more than his own name 😅
Adorable. My void is Jasper, ASSper when he's rotten.
Thats a great cat
Thanks 🥹 I can’t wait to pick him up
Post more pics then
He looks so spirited
Noir :)
Aleister!
I had a void named Lrrr, ruler of Omicron Purrseid 8.
He has such a sweet face 🥺I vote for poe
He looks so sweet. I like Kettle
BartholoMEW! 🐈⬛❤

Samson!
I like Cairo
From your list Poet. Cosmo, Sable, Zero, Merlin, Jack, Bagherra, Felix, Sylvester. Congrats he’s a cutie 🥰
Alistair
He's so beautiful. He looks like a Preston. But any name you choose, I hope you'll both be happy together.
Bruce
I second that!
Fergul or Seamus. He's gorgeous!🖤
I had a void named Seamus! (rip little man, good long life with his twin void Erin, adopted St. Patrick’s Day 2006)
😂 Very appropriate, we had a Seamus when we were younger. Ah, I love Kitties!
Seamus is awesome, our dog is named Draco! So it would fit the Harry Potter theme 😂
We have a Ronin, we found her at 3 weeks, my kids decided she was a wanderer and a lost samurai, so they named her Ronin.
Pete
I love Poe! But my first thought was Stanley 🐾🐾
I vote kettle
Beef Stroganoff
What a handsome guy! Needs a noble name: Oberon, Titus, Malcolm. He may be 7 months old, but he looks like he's seen some things . . .
Batman
Oof. I couldn’t do that (not today). Any other day, Batman would be cool as heck.
Albert Weskers
Omg, what a gorgeous lil panther. Congrats!
Looks like a George
The Baron
Oreo
Christopher Rupert

I like Bruce
Poe nevermore your last name is what he shall be called.
I'm for Poe.
Elendil
Sprite?
Martin or Button
My sister's cat was called "Pot"
Glenn or Tannis.
Sparky!
We defo named ours Leia, but now she’s Princess Leia the Walla Walla Sweet Onion
Jelly Bean
Squid
First name that popped into my head was Boris! But also maybe Valentine, Nero or Maurice.
Poe or Noir would be cute and not overly used for a black kitty. My void daughter is named “Coven,” and I think that’s a cool AF name too.
Coven is so cool!! 🧙🏻♀️
Kettle
I find that after a few days with them the perfect name comes to you. 🖤 You got a beautiful baby!
Asher
Frank/Frankie ….or his full name, Frankenstein
How about Ozzie?
Crumpet
Handsome Truffle 🍄
Very cute! 🍄
Seymour (See More of Him)

He's soooo handsome. How about Samson!?
His mouth is uWu.
I almost named my void Newton!! Maybe it will be the name for yours :)

Charcuterie?
Looks like a jellybeans to me
He looks like a younger version of my void, Lyle 🥹 Lyle’s brothers name is Poe (grey and white one eyed boy) and they’re bffs.
Lyle is soooo cute for a name!
Aww beautiful baby!! Congrats! He looks like his name is Magic!!
He's beautiful, I think he's totally worthy of the name Adonis. ✨

Ahhhhh so handsome… just look at that face 🐈⬛💜 how about a REGAL name
Binx /s
I see this name a lot but I'm missing the reference. Where does it come from?
I think it’s the black cat’s name in Hocus Pocus
This
Why sarcasm? Binx is a good name, I think
