Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865) brought a number of pets to the White House. Lincoln himself had a pet pig when he was a child. The family had a dog named Fido, and Tad and Willie had a pony. Tad Lincoln had a white rabbit and goats named Nanny and Nanko, and a Turkey named Jack. Lincoln's favorite dog was Jip, and he had other dogs and cats at different times. Abraham Lincoln is credited with having the first pet cat at the White House. Previous cats had belonged to the house and were there to control pests, not as pets.  http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/presidents_and_first_ladies/50453
His pet cat cannot have been a black one as Lincoln would have had to let it go.

Martin van Buren had two tiger cubs he kept as pets, if one could count tigers as cats.
