Every year, 2.7 million cats go unadopted. To help out my local adoption center in Los Angeles, I stealthily placed these cat biography cards on their front window. All of these cats are real and need a home! Check out Sante D'Or Adoption Center for more info on each cat.
This is part of my ongoing project, Obvious Plant, in which I sneak funny signs into the real world. Follow me on Facebook and Instagram for more stuff like this.

I want Troy. WHY is colonel spelled/pronounced like that? Shouldn't a "r" be in there? All of the cats and tags are adorable!
'Colonel was derived from the old Italian word 'colonello' meaning commander of troops (which in turn was derived from the latin word for column). The word came into English through French, as 'coronel' which was pronounced as 'kernel', but someone decided to spell it the way it used to be so 'colonel' is pronounced as 'kernel'.
