Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable Pet Week

Lisa at The Adventures of Space Paws posted this morning about Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable Pet Week. It starts tomorrow, and intends to bring awareness to the injured, ill, abused and "less than perfect" perfect pets that need homes.

As I type this, three feet to my right, my healthy, never-abused, has-all-his-limbs ginger terror, Harley, is looking out the window, "chirping" at the birds. He and Millie have never known abuse or mistreatment. Millie's had some problems with illness (pancreatitis) but otherwise, I have two healthy, awesome felines. Every day brings new rewards with every cuddle, purr and meow.

The "less than perfect" cats can bring this joy, too. If you are considering adoption, won't you consider taking in a special needs cat or dog? Often, they are the ones with the most love, the most gratitude. They require extra work, and extra patience, but the rewards are endless.

If nothing else, promote this on Twitter, Facebook, your blogs. There are too many unwanted animals out there. Let's start finding solutions!
