We're celebrating Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month by partnering with LOLcats site Icanhascheezburger.com to bring adoptable cats to a whole new audience. If you check out any adoptable cat on Petfinder, you will see a button under his or her photo that says ADD TO ICANHASCHEEZBURGER.COM.
When you click, you have the chance to write a creative LOL-worthy caption. You know the pictures ... the ones that when you look at them, you can't help but put words in the cat's mouth?! Well, here's your chance.
Once you submit a captioned adoptable kitteh (that is LOL-speak for cat!), she will go into the gallery and Icanhascheezburger visitors will vote on their favorites.
The top vote-getters make it to the home page with a link back to the cat's Petfinder profile. It's fun -- and it will also, we hope, get more people to check out the adorable, adoptable cats on Petfinder.
As an example, take a look at this great LOL cat created by Petfinder staffer Brent. If you love it as much as I do, you can vote by giving it five cheeseburgers. Encourage your friends to submit adoptable cats, and more importantly, encourage them to vote on the great Petfinder cats in the gallery so more people (think potential adopters!) will see them on the homepage.

I am SOOO glad someone thought of this! What a great way to help these cats get adopted! If someone had turned our adopted kitty into a LOLcat it would've said, "Makin' Friends... Ur Doin It Wrong" to fit with her antisocial look.
Keep up the good work everyone!
I LOL'd one of our adoptables. Now I'm waiting to see if it makes it to the homepage.

Thanks all! Rose, do you have a URL for your Alice's LOLcat?
Mary, Abigail is a beauty!
I created a LOL cat for Alice, one of Angelcat Havens rescued kittehs. She just got a lion cut which makes her look like a Dr. Seuss character.
