Can I haz a home?

LOL kitties aren't just irresistible, they're good citizens…trying to help homeless cats and kittens get adopted.

Petfinder.com is celebrating Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month in June with Icanhascheezburger.com in the hopes of finding more forever homes for cats. For the next two weeks, all Petfinder.com visitors will be able to caption any of the kittehs using the infamous, not-so-grammatical, "LOL speak." 

Here's how you and your readers can help:

·  Visit any adoptable cat page on Petfinder.com.

·  Click on the Cheezburger icon below the photo.

·  Caption the photo in your best LOLCats style.

·  Share the link with your kitteh-loving friends.

The most popular captioned pictures will be featured daily on the Icanhascheezburger.com homepage.

Currently there are more than 130,000 homeless cats looking for homes on Petfinder.com.

For an update on Baltimore's race to find homes for 500 kitties, click here.

PS: It's just a coincidence, but the kitty pictured here could be the fraternal twin of the kitty from a few posts ago -- look!

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
