‘The World’s Worst Cat’ Is Looking For A New Home, And The Ad For Her Is Hilarious
Perdita, a 4-year-old domestic shorthair, is not the kind of cat most shelters expect to describe with a straight face. After her owner died, the North Carolina shelter that took her in quickly realized she had a big attitude and no interest in pretending otherwise.
The staff checked for medical issues first, but Perdita was healthy, which left them with a very different problem. Instead of softening the truth, they wrote an adoption ad that was brutally honest, and somehow that made the whole thing even funnier.
Now the shelter is hoping her bad reputation helps her find the right home. Read on.
The shelter staff posted the ad on Facebook
An update soon followed.
People loved the ad even though it wasn’t very flattering, so the shelter soon posted an update stating that they were reviewing over 50 applications to find a suitable home for this grumpy cat. Perdita seems to either enjoy or dislike attention; it’s hard to say with this cat.
That update only made people more curious about her.
People are convinced Perdita will find a good home
The ad amused most of the commenters, but some took a more serious approach, analyzing the situation this cat found herself in. She lost the human who cared for her throughout her life and her home, where they lived quietly together. Now she is in an environment that is entirely new to her, surrounded by many animals that are anything but quiet and calm. This is probably not her true personality that we are witnessing. It is a common problem in shelters, especially for animals that have lived alone with a single owner. They struggle to adapt to the shelter environment; they appear antisocial and sometimes even hostile. This behavior prevents them from being adopted, leading to further isolation, and the vicious cycle continues.
Some people shared their own stories of adopting such animals. After a short period, these animals turned out to be great companions, playful and friendly. It is possible the same will happen with Perdita.
It echoes the “bad luck” reaction from the aspiring cat owner who got denied again, then wished it on the poor creature.

Perdita may have a terrible reputation, but she also has a lot of people hoping she gets a second chance.
Before Perdita, this woman’s persistence helped expose a shelter cat hoarding operation after repeated rejections.
