Shelter "tells it like it is" to find a cat a home - Catherine - 01-24-2020

A North Carolina Animal Shelter is trying extreme honesty to find a cat a home. Perdita is a difficult cat. As the shelter puts it, she is a jerk. If someone wants a cat with a less than pleasant personality then Perdita might be the cat for them. Even her picture looks annoyed.

The campaign might work. People have certainly noticed Perdita and some are considering adopting her.
Not everyone wants a sweet loving cat. Someone out there with as prickly a personality might enjoy living with a "prickly" cat.
It is worth a try and at least people have been warned so they won't come back the next day because they can't live with her.

I'm sure there is a perfect match for Perdita, a forever home where she will be a happy even if she can't be cheerful.

Whoever adopts her might find she cheers up when she leaves the shelter Smiley4 
Confused 
Perdita is a very nice-looking cat! I hope she finds a happy home where she is loved for who she is.

That is very true.
She will probably never be a cuddly cat, but some people would be happier with a cat like Perdita.
There is a perfect home out there for her. They just have to find the right person who is a match for her.
Being honest about her personality is the first step to finding that perfect match.
