An animal shelter ad for the “world’s worst cat” is brutally honest – but very funny

Animal shelters are fantastic places, giving a second chance to the unwashed and unwanted of the animal world, matching them up with new families and a better life.

It isn’t always easy, though, as this advert from the Mitchell County Animal Rescue centre shows.

Here’s the text that went with it.

Meet Perdita, not for the faint of heart.

LIKES:
staring into your soul until you feel as if you may never be cheerful again;
the song Cat Scratch Fever,
the movie Pet Cemetery (Church is her hero),
jump scares (her specialty),
lurking in dark corners,
being queen of her domicile,
fooling shelter staff into thinking she’s sick (vet agrees…she’s just a jerk)

DISLIKES:
the color pink,
kittens (yuk they are so chipper),
dogs,
children,
the Dixie Chicks,
Disney movies,
Christmas and last but NOT least…HUGS.

She’s single and ready to be socially awkward with a socially awkward human who understands personal space. FREE ADOPTION 😉

If interested please go to www.mitchellcountyanimalrescue.org to fill out an application.

We’re very happy to report that there are plenty of people who can see the diamond in the rough and, at the 23rd of January, there were 50 people interested in sharing their space with the world’s worst cat.

Here’s the update.

Perdita is not impressed with her new found fame. She is being her spicy self.

This video was made this morning. She enjoyed her head scratches and growls at the end to let us know she was done.

We love this spirited, strong-willed, beauty. We have given her privacy and quiet as much as possible.

We are carefully considering each of the 50+ applications we have received for her. Love and support for Perdita has poured in from all over the world.

We are thrilled that so many people are passionate about cats like her. We will keep everyone posted about her adoption when it happens.

And this is the famous feline herself.

This is how Facebook users have been reacting to the ad – and to Perdita.

The official account of Pet Semetary was glad of the endorsement.

In fact, at the time of writing, it’s decision day …

Good luck to Perdita in her new home – and even more good luck to her brave adopter.
