I had a couple of dogs when I was a kid, but I mostly grew up with cats. I have a lot of patience with cats. I don't believe that any cat is unadoptable, even feral cats.

Interesting that many of the grants this place gets specifically say they can't experiment on any domesticated animals (cats and dogs I guess.). Anyway, I couldn't enter the actual rooms where the animals were kept because I would have had to wear a bio-hazard suit. It reminded me of an adoption poster at the animal shelter.
