Sexy back

Don't be yourself—be someone a little nicer.

Puke monsters

A litter of kittens from the shelter.

But remember:

It's not their fault that they are puke monsters.

That's just the way they were born.

The homey on the right flashing a little tongue.

There it is!

Uh oh—cat fight!

Sibling rivalry has never been so darn cute.

Some dog fur

Yep, you guessed it: Dogfaces that need new homes. See 'em and weep.

Or adopt and puke. It's up to you.

Heck, take home a pair, if you can handle it.

This puppy got a family. Success! But the others are still waiting ...

More fur

Amninals that need to be adopted:

It's just a kitten. 

Aw, this one wants to play.

Ow! Playing can be dangerous.

Kittens with Hitler mustaches.

Such a good face.

Wouldn't you like to get to know this beast?

Shock and awww!

Whiskers

Horses have whiskers, too. Although they are much lovelier than the whiskers growing out of any old man's nose. That's just nasty—and not the good kind of nasty, if you know what I mean.

Fur for you

Who needs some fur? Because there's so much at animal shelters, the fur needs you!

For instance, Rosie, this 5-month-old kitten is ridiculously sweet and lovely. She's been at the shelter since July 15. That's a long time. The Petophile is worried about her. She's too amazing to be euthanized.

And there's this sweet little devil.

This tiny, putrid kitten is brimming with personality.

And, of course, there are dogfaces, too. This unusual yet handsome pup knows she's not in a good place. Look at her eyes; she's desperate to make a connection.

Come and rescue one of these animals at 2127 Front Street, or see more profiles of orphans on this website. Or look up a shelter near you in Ossining, New York, person who Googles "petophile" at 5:22 a.m. (Ew!)

I'm not here to make friends

Excuse me, horses, but you are violating my personal space.

Wait a minute, I like you being up in my face. Please go ahead, lanky ungulates, stampede over me. You've already bowled me over.
