Most veterinary professionals will nod in agreement when a "less adoptable" pet is mentioned; most of us have adopted at least one. Usually several of the "hard to place" animals find homes with us over the years.

This series of articles focuses on the "less adoptable" pets as part of Adopt A Less Adoptable Pet Week sponsored by PetFinder. My About.com colleagues share their stories about pets who have found a forever home, despite a rough start.

Meet Jasmine the Kitten

Jasmine's story is brought to you by Liz Masoner, About.com Guide to Photography.

From Liz Masoner:
We've worked with a feral colony in our neighborhood for years and for years we've doctored and worked to adopt out kittens born with feline herpes.

From cataracts to respiratory issues, we've held tiny kittens, rejoiced for the ones adopted, and cried for the ones that didn't make it.
