Free Adopt a Pet This Month

Do you love watching cat videos on the web? Adopt your own future YouTube star...it's free this month.

Look at this face!  This is Cherise, and judging by her expression, she has catitude.

She no doubt rules her corner of the world with an iron will and a well-placed smug look. Incredibly, Cherise is homeless—a guest of the Santa Clara County Animal Shelter.

Through the month of August, all pets over the age of four months will be adopted for free. That means you can take Cherise home, turn her into a YouTube sensation, bank $100K in advertising revenue, and buy fresh salmon to keep her majesty Cherise content. (As content as a feline with catitude can be!)
