Kitty Cam

Check out the Kitty Cam in the sidebar! This video feed on UStream is from http://foundanimals.org. These kitties are at the West Los Angeles Animal Care Center, and will be up for adoption on February 8th.

The kittens are so much fun to watch as they jump around and play. If you're having a bad day try watching them for a few minutes and you're sure to be in a better mood!

After these kittens are adopted, www.FoundAnimals.org will have other shelter animals on this cam.
