On thing that’s been difficult to figure out in choosing a Cat of the Day from the Cobb Animal Shelter website, is whether to focus on cute cheerful looking kitties who are more likely to get adopted, or sad, frightened or shy kitties that might not have as much appeal, but are in need of a loving home so they won’t be frightened and sad.
So I’ve decided to divide both the Dog of the Day and the Cat of the Day into Happy and Sad categories for a total of four posts per day.
The Cobb County Courier’s Cat of the Day, selected from the Cobb Animal Shelter website, is Finn. I don’t really know how sad Finn is, but he’s looking up from behind that blanket like he wants to be somewhere other than the crate.
Finn will be up for adoption on December 15.
He’s a big boy, and the folks at the shelter describe his temperament as sweet.

Remember, in adopting a pet you are bringing a new family member into your household, so only do it if you are looking for a forever feline partner.
