Some of the wilds in my residence are black fur and blonde / red tails.

It could be a genetic recessive variant or if they previously had normal hair and then later it started to turn white then it would be a sign of an autoimmune response/disease. Nothing too serious to worry about. Also not much can be done anyways in the latter case.
