Big black dogs. FIV+ cats. Senior pets. Special needs animals. Many factors can make a pet seem "less adoptable." To promote these unusual (or, in some cases, too common) animals, Petfinder has designated August 12 as "Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet Day."
- Older pets are mellower — you don't have to worry about your lamp getting knocked over!
- Physically challenged pets are often unaffected by their handicap — but you still look like a hero!
- "Bad reputation" breeds — you get the chance to prove people wrong with your great dog!
- Dark-furred pets make it easy to accessorize — black goes with everything!
- Pets with behavioral issues allow you to form a tight bond as you overcome obstacles together!
- Big dogs are easier to find when it is time to go to the vet!
JUST A FEW OF TEN LIVES CLUB'S LESS ADOPTABLE CATS
SEEKING FOREVER HOMES
Angel Baby
She an older girl at thirteen, but she still likes to be noticed. Her age and her FIV+ status has kept her at the shelter much longer than she needed to be. Her sister is Snowflake and they were surrended after being in what they thought was their forever home of twelve years.

Little Guy
A 2-year-old black FIV+ male. Little Guy has been with TLC since March of 2008. He was terrified of humans at first. Slowly he has become more trusting, although he may always be a timid cat. He has lost his left eye from an infection, and his right eye has scar tissue, but is still functionable.

Ziggy
A handsome and friendly 4-year-old orange tabby male who has issues with urinating outside of the litter box. He would do best in his own room/space where his urinary issues could be better managed.
