Jea Jensen is a 27-year-old creator behind Petfinder Names, which introduces you to weird and wild pet names, like a pigeon named Mr. World Wide and a dog named Thicken Nugget. Other viral posts include a cat named "Business Frog and a pair of kittens in mid-June, named "Megan Thee Stallion" and "Doja Cat."

Odd names may increase the likelihood of adoption. Would you like to give an animal like The Wifi Password, Algebra, and Cottage Cheese a forever home?

Names are part of the shelter's largerdigital adoption strategy, which includes a TikTok account with more than 860,000 followers. The monikers range from the outright bizarre (including a bug-eyed 16-year-old cat named The Oracle) to ones more in linewith cultural events (such as Olympians and "Ted Lasso" characters).
